Rediscovery the interesting in learning English
After 3 commercial comments and 2 Mandarin Chinese song translations, I felt I’m lock of profession and knowledge about advertising and translation. I want to do it better; I want to create good articles. This morning, I searched the information about online course. I wanted to know more about the marketing knowledge, and how can I translate mandarin Chinese songs better. Both of them are professional field. And then, I recalled the reason that why I created this blog. I want to improve my writing in English. That’s all. Very easy and simple reason, however, it’s so easy to be forgotten.
There are only 35 days left from IELTS. I almost give up. It’s so difficult. I know myself very well. I can’t get the 7 score in IELTS on December. Having said that, I created this website for IELTS writing, it makes me see how great the world is. The website, marketing, translation…they interest me so much. I can’t help but searching the information all about that. I love learning new things. It’s much more interesting than preparing for IELTS. While I was learning the knowledge, I felt my English ability is not enough for me to acquire it. It’s a little frustrated, isn’t it? You want to learn new things, but there is obstacle prevent you from it. That is “language”. The reason sounds not so inspired. Or, I try harder to improve my English to get the information and knowledge that I want. It sounds better.
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”-Lera Boroditsky, TED talks
Apart from the profession filed, I want to learn different languages, not only English, but also Spanish, French, and Japanese. While I practiced English by watching TED talks, it inspired me to learn “language”. It makes me feel like anything is possible. Learning language is the most interesting thing in the world and you can benefit from it. Not only the language skill but also the process could help you learning any other skill. Sounds exciting. Also, the idea of creating personal blog is from Medium, an excellent English online publish website. If I draw the route about how it happened, it will be like this: 2017 made a decision that I want to study aboard → 2019. 04 came to Ireland → preparing for IELTS → read Medium for improve reading skill → the article inspired me created a website to write a blog for improving writing in English (of course for IETLS) → acquiring the professional knowledge for writing better article → found the interesting in the professional filed. (Commercial and translation). It looks so incredible, isn’t it?

However, right on this moment, I’m struggling with learning English. I’m upset about my English level is not enough for me to get a high grad in IELTS. Since I have been Ireland already 6 months. I can see my progress in English, without doubt. Bout I think that isn’t enough for me. I want more and more, just like learning new skills or knowledge. I like learning new things. Nevertheless, it can’t be fast. I have to be patient. My teacher always told me that. I hope I could rediscovery the interesting in learning English by wrote my blog, learning how to create good article. And IELTS, well, although I can’t grantee what grad I would get, I will do my best.
