Hye guys!!
Nice to see you again. Are you feeling well right now? I hope you guys are in the pink of health.This time, I am going to share with you about my challenges or problems that I faced through out these days in acquiring English language. Arghh!! Actually I am not good enough in English. Everyday when I was trying to speak in English, I felt something was preventing me from doing it. This situation really ruin my mood.
One of my challenges is lack of confident. As students, we have a lot of activities, assignments or presentations that required us to speak English in front of the audiences. We have to speak well and confidently in order to have better results.But for me, when I am standing in front of the audiences I feel so shy. I don't have enough confident to speak English in front of them because I think that if I talk wrongly, the people will laugh at me. That is the embarrassing moment for me.
For your information, I am lacking in vocabulary. Sometimes when I speak English, I have sentences in my mind but I am missing two or three important vocabulary words. So, it become difficult for me to say what I am thinking. Then, I also poor in pronunciation. When I read or talk something loudly, my pronunciation seem a little bad. Sometimes people did not understand to what I am saying and they will ask me to tell them again. It keeps bothering me. Plus, I am not major in grammar...huhuhu...sad of me...
Besides, for the certain words they have different meanings. For example, run. My cat loves to run about in the park. The word run there means moves quickly with legs but in certain sentences, run brings out the different meaning like manages.She runs a very successful business.
In addition, there are some people think that I am arrogant person when speaking in English. They said that I want to show off with my ability..arhh.. that was so frustrating having these kind of people nowadays. That's why I think it is better if I just speak Malay to everyone.
Besides, there are lots of slang and colloquial language used when English is spoken.It is varies from country to another country. So, when I watch movies I can't understand well what they are saying.
Scare of making mistakes is also one of the challenges that I faced in acquiring English. I was so scared to speak in English because I know that I am not good enough in English. Surely, I will make a lot of mistakes in my conversation..hahaha..so, the best way for me is just talk in Malay to my friends and also with my English teacher.
Sometimes, I am bad in spelling the words. At school, when the teacher asked me to write an essay, there must be spelling errors. Although I often use that words in conversation, I did not remember how to write them correctly...hahaha...so ridiculous, right??
Last but not least is homophones. I often confused with the words that are different in meaning but similar in pronunciation. For the ones that do not used to these words surely will get into problem when speaking. All of you have experienced this problem before, right?? same goes to me!!
Thus, I should do a lot of practices to solve my problems. I really hope that someday, I will be able to speak English fluently.
Yes, I used to experience the same thing about having people who thought me of being arrogant whenever I speak in English. It was kinda frustrating that I wish they could shut their mouth even once.
