I have studied English since I was a junior high school student and I am an English major now. So I have studied English for 8 years. I will introduce my English learning experiences. There were junior high school days, high school days and university days.

First, when I was a junior high school student. I didn't like English so much because I felt English was difficult for me. I have not touched English before. But my ALT changed my mind. She was a very good teacher. She recommended touching English more, for example, listening to English songs, watching movies in English and read English books and so on. I gradually liked English because of that. And I went to a cram school. Then I learned grammar and how to read long essays. I think I studied base of English when I was a junior high school student.

Second, when I was a high school student, I loved English. There was an English conversation class once a week and the teacher was native people. So I thought the environment was good for studying English. And I want to talk with native more. So I made friends who live in England. We exchanged emails and talked a lot on the phone. I also went to English conversation school. I met a lot of friends who liked English very much.

Third, when I’m a university student, I love English so I decide to major English. I'm so happy to study English now. When I was a freshman, I went to Canada. I wanted to touch real English and be surrounded by natives. As a result, it was a good experience to learn English. In the KGU, there are a lot of classes to study English, for example, writing class. We have to read a book and type something every week. And I took an English conversation class. It's cheap but teacher is so good! There were a lot of students who have good feelings. To meet them is good thing for me. And now I have a lot of plans in the future. I like English the best of other languages. So I want to work using English. And I want to visit a lot of countries, for example, America, England and Australia and so on. So I have to study English harder and ty my best.

Finally, I will tell you about other languages I’m interested in because of there are a lot of questions of other languages. I want to study other languages and I especially want to study Korea. I like Korea so I took Korean class. To study Korea is difficult for me. But Korea is next to Japan. So studying Korean is good thing for me in the future.

I have learned English since I was a junior high school student. There are good chances and environment for me. Learning language is important to communicate with people who live the entire world. If I studied language, I would get more chances to communicate with people. That is very great thing for me. And I think there will be fewer misunderstandings and we get closer each others. So I think learning language is important.

BR 2-02: Titanic

Today I read a book whose tittle is TITANIC. I have know there was the titanic and it sank. Because I have watched the TITANIC which is a very famous movie. When I was a child, I watched it and I was very moved. So I want to read this book.

I knew the fact there was the titanic and a lot of people died. But I knew only them. So I learned some knowledge of the book. If you were in my situation, you should read this book. And please study the history.

In early 1900s, people don't use planes to cross ocean. So people had to use ships. And the TITANIC is the biggest ship in the world at that time. And people believe the ship was very safety... But in fact, there were some weak points. Because the ship was too large so it was difficult to escape... I didn't know that... And I was very surprised at the fact.

And the book help you to know the fact of the TITANIC. Because the book has a lot of pictures of real the TITANIC at that time. So it is easy to know. I recommend the book. Please read this book soon.

First, when I was a junior high school student. At first, I didn't like English so much. Because I felt English is difficult for me. I have not touched English before. But my ALT changed my mind. She was a very good teacher. She recommends touching English more. For example, listening to English songs, watching movies in English and read English books... I liked English gradually. And I went to a cram school. Then I learned Grammar and how to read long essays. I think I studied basic of English, when I was a junior high school student.

And I want to talk with native more. So I made friends who live in England. We exchanged emails and talked a lot on the phone. I also went to English conversation school. I met a lot of friends who like English.

Third, when I am a university student. I love English so I decide to major English. I'm so happy to study English now. When I was a freshman, I went to Canada.
