Blog #6 English played many roles in my life

        Honestly, in the past, I disliked English because it never brought benefits to me. I liked many subjects except English. I liked math, physics, chemistry, and biology because one formula could solve a series of problems. I liked history and politics because I could know many interesting stories. I liked Chinese because I can use it every day. However, I learned English just to pass the tests. Actually, English changed my life, it lowered my GPA, so I could not go into the university that I liked. I felt depressed and helpless, and English as a nightmare followed me many and many years.

Unfortunately, I had to learn English because I wanted to get the master degree. Not only the USA, but also China required the English scores. As many people said, trying to accept somethings that you can’t change, I decided to accept English. Accepting something that you disliked before was agonizing, so I used a long time to try to adjust myself. After a long time, I became more patient than before. I could control my mood when I could not achieve my goal. I became braver than before. I treated English as an enemy, and I wanted to beat it.

In this semester, I just got some benefits from English. One day, I was surprised that I can read the English news. I used English to find out a lot of information that I could not gain by Chinese reports. I was super happy because I finally felt that English was useful! Some days later, I felt that I was not as nervous as before when I talk with some people who were not speaking Chinese. Now, English is not an enemy for me, and it is a helper.

In conclusion, English played many roles in my life. It was a nightmare following me many years; it was an enemy that let me wanted to beat; it is a helper helping me to gain more knowledge now. When can it be my partner in the future? I will wait and see.
