Hello, my name is Judy.

When it comes to English learning history, I think I have been learning for over nine years or so. In terms of four aspects of English abilities, involving listening, speaking, reading and writing, I personally prefer the reading aspect. I read some articles on the Internet once in a while. Nevertheless, developing a reading habit is not easy for me at all. I have been endeavoring to read as much as possible since I was a senior high school student. I know how reading will help me. But sometimes I am still too lazy to read because of tiredness, excuses, and procrastination. As for the writing aspect, I realize that if I want to write well, I should practice time after time. But in fact, I seldom write English essays voluntarily. I usually write essays based on professors’ instructions. Thus, it might be one of the disadvantages that I should get rid of. 

Traveling and tasting delicious food are the happiest things for me. I regard travel as a useful method to relax myself. If there is no outbreak of pandemic, I prefer traveling with my friends or family to staying at home. I think it can be one of my hobbies and interests. For indoor activities, I like watching English or American dramas and movies. On the one hand, I consider it suitable for me to learn English and understand exotic culture simultaneously. On the other hand, it sometimes not only makes me laugh but also helps me think deeply.

As for imagination of this course, I think I might read a lot of English novels and materials in this course. Ideally, I could truly make a habit of reading. In addition, I believe that this course can make me think more deeply by using different materials. Besides, during the sharing session, I can not only discuss various perspectives with classmates but practice my English speaking. I expect that I can know more thought-provoking English novels from peers’ sharing and professor’s suggestions because what I know currently is quite limited. Additionally, after this course, I hope I can perfectly and logically express my viewpoints in both writing and speaking.
