In my secondary education, my speaking skill has improved a lot because of teachers’ gentle guidance. I engaged in debate team at secondary academy. The tutor taught me the techniques of speaking. For example, stressing in key words so as to show the importance of those words and make impression to the listeners. Furthermore, teachers provided many chances for me to speak in the English lesson. Teachers would discuss some hot society topics like the Hong Kong president selection and stepping up of minimum wage with me. I can express my opinions freely during the lesson. It is a good opportunity for me to speak in English, enhancing my speaking.
Although teachers helped me a lot in learning English, I still met hindrances in studying English at secondary school.
Writing is my weakest part as my grammar foundation is not good. This becomes a big problem for me to learn English at secondary school. I am a bit worried as I afraid that I can’t handle the works from HKCC due to the weakness in English writing. Nevertheless, my worry is otiose. HKCC has provided me many supports to help me overcome the obstacle. In the English lesson, tutor told me that keeping a diary is a good starting point for English learner to improve their English. After listening this, I started to write a diary in English. This approach is practical, as my grammar has been obviously upgraded. Apart from this, the HKCC officer also offered a useful online learning system---Clarity. This helps me get more understanding about the usage of grammar.
As you sow, so you reap. I believe that the more effort you paid, the more you can learn. Just find an effective way for you to learn English. I have found it, do you?
