My English
I remember when I was a child; I spend all day at my grandmother’s house until my mother came from work. One day my grandmother bought a cable TV Box and I spend all day watching TV. I think that was the first time I had a real contact with English language. I started to see Disney channel and all the kids programs in English and I like it. Then on my brother birthday, my mother bought him a Nintendo with a few games, all in English. I don’t really understand what was written or what they said in the game but I associated the words with the actions. Like for example: press the red button to reach level 1. I didn’t know what a button was but I know colors so is red so that’s means that the thing red is called button. That way I learned my first English stuff. Then I went to school and started to learn and improve my knowledge.
I remember the games that the teacher used to makes us learn the colors and numbers. In middle school I was more in to the language. I also make a few school plays in this language. That was very exciting and challenging for me. My English status in high school was dead. I had a very, no, a extremely poor education in this language. Was until twelve grade that I started to relive my English education, but then my teacher suffered a brain stroke and the class was shut down for like tree weeks and then just give us very easy homework’s. Is now in the Colegio when I feel like I’m really learning this language. When I entered the Colegio I was really upset because I had to take the pre-basic English curse. I mean I wasn’t really that bad in the language. But went I took the curse I realize that was a good to refresh my knowledge and fix those things that I mess up when I use this language.
Currently I use English everyday, I really like this language. My cell phone is in English, I watch English TV series, I like to surf the internet and even that I’m not one hundred percent bilingual I like to talk with people from others places, like Canada and UK. That helps me improve my writing and speaking skills, well even my social skills and is a good way to know new people and make new friends. Other thing that makes me be active using my English is my summer class that is English and the reason that I’m writing this essay.
I know for sure that I will need to know English perfectly to have a good opportunity in my life. As soon I finish my bachelor degree Ill study laws and became a good lawyer, at the same time I want to take some acting classes, because acting is what really passionate me. To reach my goals I have to know and understand English perfectly, because this language is the key for success.
