Class survey

There are some reasons why do I want to study English. First of all, I want to travel a lot in the future, so I want to know English to communicate with international people. Second, I want to study at the University of Calgary and major in International business. To work at International business I have to know international language which is English. I choose the major international business because it seems me interesting and perspective. In the future, I’d like to work in a big oil and gas company in Russia in the import export department. In my free time I like to do different kinds of activities such us skiing, ice-skating, roller-skating, swimming, sunbathing, and go shopping. Also, I like to go to different kinds of restaurant and try new food. In addition, I like traveling, learn different customs, and meet new people. Outside of class I also try to study English. For example, I watch movies in English, read books and newspapers, meet with my international friends. The most difficult thing about learning English for me is writing because in my native language we have absolutely different style of writing. In English language students have to be very specific and every sentence should be relevant to the topic. In my opinion, the most difficult thing about going to college in Canada that English is not our native language. For example math is very difficult subject, but if it lectures in not your native language is more difficult because international students really have to concentrate in language. Also, note taking skills is very difficult too. The easiest thing about learning English that students should be outgoing and don’t be shy they just have to communicate to people to improve their listening and speaking skills. In my opinion, I most need to improve my writing skills because I think it is the most difficult thing about learning English

Hi Valentina,

Wow, we have a lot in common. In my free time, I like to do the same things you like to do. Being open to different things and willing to try different things is really neat. This way, life is never boring.

I enjoyed reading about your aspirations and you. Try to think in English when you write to avoid any difficulty in applying writing techniques. You are here in Canada; be here also when you write and you will make it successflly,

I look forward to reading your next blog entry.

Have a wonderful long weekend,

Z.
