Hello! My name is Tina, 邱梓庭. I used to learn English in two cram schools, and these experiences influenced me a lot. One is for saving my English grades when I was in the elementary school. During that period, my English ability is awful, so my parents sent me to the cram school and hoped that could help pass the tests. It did work. My grades got higher than before; however, I learned passively since I just learned to pass the tests. The other one is for improving my skills when I was at the Department of Applied English in high school. At that time, I found that I should learn for myself and for my future.

Learning is not an easy thing to me so far, but I’m trying to do my best. Recently, I enjoy watching videos which were made by native speakers to record their daily lives on YouTube. It is the way for me to relax and keep in touch with the language at the same time.

My imagination to this course is similar to the course, Critical Literacy, we took last semester. We may use different aspects to see the issues, and the difference may be the way of study and performance. I expect that I can improve my ability during the process. To fulfill it, I will try on the means professor told us during the introduction of the course.

Also, I don’t see myself as a reader/writer because I don’t read or write so often. So, I expect this course to encourage me moving on as timely help!
