A little fulfillment

Today in the conversation class, I finally had a sence of achievement, for I found myself making a progress in speaking English. In the last year, I memorized many words for test. However, I didn't really think that I improved the ability to talk in English.

Though the amount of words is essential for test, it is not critical to be a good speaker. I think the best way to learn English is speaking (still i didn't deny the importance of memorizing words).

For example, during the class, I was sometimes caught in a situation where I didn't know how to choose a appropriate word or usage. So i just "uh...mm....". During the process of "uh...mm...", I think I would link the accumulation of words to a pratical aspect. In fact, I would be more familiar with English when using them.

Using them is more important than knowing them.

When I realized that oh maybe I made a progress today, a little and real fulfillment showed up in my mind.The feeling was great.



Another thing that cheered me up recently was that I think I eventually stroke a balance between caring too much about others' opinions on me and not caring at all. It's cheerful. Also, I tried to show my concern about my friends. When I tried hard to do this, I found the authentic happiness.
