When you go to the University you suppose to take some classes that correspond to your career, in addition, the University follow an educational model based on form integral professionals, make you take some other subjects, like CFG () sports or English, and you must to take them, in other way you can’t graduate form University. The thing is that nobody ask the students if these obligatory subjects are really been necessaries to their professional training. Well, thinking in that I’m going to talk you about my experience learning English at the University…
I remember in the first year of classes, when somebody told me and my classmates that we must to take an English exam to evaluate our knowledge in this area. I thought that maybe it wouldn’t be so difficult to me because since I was like eleven years old until I was around thirteen I took some classes of English in a language academy, also I had English during high and secondary school, so English to me was very familiar and I had even enjoyed to learn it. After that, “the exam at the University wouldn’t be so difficult to pass” I was thinking. But I was totally wrong.
We took the exam at the computer lab. It has two parts, one consisted in recognized words and complete sentences and the other of audio compression. In this one, the earphones were not being working so I couldn’t respond correctly the item. That makes me loose some points. At the same time, because I couldn’t ear. I miss many words, unfinished the exam. Because of that I must took level two, three and four.
While I was at the second level, the miss told me if I wanted to move to the fourth level immediately, I say yes! but after that I was disappointed because the English class at level fourth couldn’t match with my schedule. So, I resigned and took the levels.
In conclusion this experience helps me to improve my skills in English. Even if I wasn’t totally happy with doing almost all levels, this helps me to practice my speaking, to get better my grammar and my listening. Instead I wouldn’t do it again.
