My English Language Learning Journey (edited)

Living in Singapore, a multi-lingual society, it is important to master English and our own Mother Tongue in order to communicate with people effectively. Knowing the importance of the English Language, the Singapore Education System is also skewed to promote such awareness and cultivate an English-speaking environment. Since young, I have been exposed to the art of the English Language where we learn grammar, vocabulary, comprehension and summary. I am able to apply all the skills that i have learnt to real life situations such as interacting with other people and writing an article. However, my language is not very strong as i do not have a very strong foundation of the English Language. This has impeded my ability to express my views freely. For example, in the past, I could not find the appropriate words to convey my message effectively and this has impacted me badly. After realising its importance, I began to read some self-help books to broaden my horizon and improve on my language. Reading books has certainly improved my English as i learnt how to structure my thoughts. Learning English is an on-going process and we should not stop learning from it. I hope that through this English module, I would be able to learn new skills and brush up my vocabulary which will help me to attain a better concept of the English Language.
