Task B1: Descriptive Reflection.

2a. Your English Language Journey:

            All my life, English has always been a weakness to me. Even though it is a language used globally, at times, I find it difficult to make a proper sentence without making any mistakes. For example, the correct sentence structure used, the correct tenses and the correct pronunciation. Moreover, there are a lot of “conditions” in the English text that we have to pay attention to or else, the sentence structure could be wrong. To add on, we also need to know when to use the correct tenses, grammar, adjectives and verbs in a sentence. These are basically nightmares to me as my foundation in English is not strong enough to know what is right and what is wrong when I speak and write. 

            My perspective of English - being my weakness, changes was when I had the courage to learn from my past mistakes and learning from it when speaking or writing in English. From then on, I find myself having the courage to challenge myself in speaking and writing good English. Despite having some mistakes in my sentence structure initially, I did not condemn myself, instead I learn whenever people correct my mistakes and try not to make the same mistakes in future again. Till this day, the only achievement I feel proud of myself for English is scoring an A in my assignments during my polytechnic days. To me scoring a B in English is really difficult, let alone an A. 

            Thus, having an A for a few of my assignments was a very satisfied accomplishment throughout my English journey. Through this journey, I also realized that having to know your mistakes and to correct it is really important as it can help you to convey your message across better with good English. To sum up, every day is a learning journey for me as I discover new “languages” and different (hidden) meanings behind this language I called, English.
