Hoping for Changing

Recently, I feel upset sometimes because of my part-time job. As most of my friends know, I have my part-time job in Den as a cater. What I did was prepare all the stuffs that they need during the day as well as the next couple of days. However, in this semester I started to work on line instead of catering. I am a newer who knows nothing about how to cook, but I really want to do my best to help those busy line-working people. Nevertheless, what makes me unhappy is that I feel I was so stupid that I always forgot how to cook even if they have taught me several times before. Finally, I was sent to make salad only, but nobody taught me how to make all the salad on the list. As a result, I had to ask, ask, and ask... I know that it will make others feel I am a trouble person who always makes problems. I know I am not good enough, yet I really want to try my best in order to do better and better and give them more help.

I am a person who is afraid of unhappy because if nobody can make me feel better when I feel sad I will feel sadder. Some people choose to sleep, eat, travel, drink, smoke, or talk... However, in most cases, sometimes I will choose to be silent if I don't want to hide my sadness, yet in other cases, I will seem like a happy talkative person if I hope nobody knows.

I still don't know when I can change my situation, but I hope it will get better and better!

What is the best way to learn a foreign language: in class, on your own, or a combination of two?

Although I have learned English since I was 12 years old, I still could not use English very fluently in fact. It was because I didn't find the right way to be a good language learner. However, when I look back to the past, it might be better if I learned English not only in class but also on my own, I think.


It was not a wise choice if people learn a language only in class. What teachers teach you is not enough for you to master a foreign language because language is not something just related to the text books. Language is a skill that we use everyday. Teacher may ask you to read passages, do exercises, but what's more important is my have to practice all the time. I used to learn English in the exactly way that the teachers told me and I have few chance to talk with others in English. It is the reason why my oral English is not good.

On the other hand, according to my own experience, learning a foreign language by my own is impossible because I feel I am not that smart and I have no idea about how to learn it without being taught.

Therefore, my best way to learn English is to combine both in class learning and self learning. Teacher can teach me how to learn and I should practise the way of learning and make it in to actions so that I may become successful at English.
