As some times I said, I live in USA for 2 years, recently started studying at university, first start with courses mandatory pre-requisite of English for academic purposes, it goes without saying that I find it extremely difficult, but what I carry. The point is that this cycle so I took a class that has nothing to do with grammar and writing, or similar. This class is mandatory for both Native Americans and students in a second language (that's me!) The matter is that the first time you go out to this class almost crying! Everyone was "gringo" all with their native English and no barriers to me in language even present.
relief With nothing left me vowing to try to do what I can. If pulling the class ... I'd hate to the soul because I pay my dolarcitos, and take my little time ... but if there was a slim chance of passing ... I would.
We recently had our first test, two chapters of the book that forces us to read. Besides a couple of vocabularies stored in the strength as well. Study, I spent my weekend making of tables, underlining important parts of the book, and doing cartoons that as I open the mind to the understanding of the materials. The issue is that I get on test day, with faith and optimism as di, "which is what language you want" I thought.
Yesterday we delivered the notes of the examination, 3 people took "A". 12 took "B" and the other pulled. I look forward to my review, I look with sorrow on receiving the sum of points in my review, as I saw he had gone so wrong that even seemed to be points. Returning to my room with the moral on the floor my friend (another single class Latino) welcomed me cheerfully. And I caught notice that the top was a brilliant "A".
gladly high notes ... and I realize I was one of the three persons of 30 students drawn "A" re excited viso my review and I notice that my co-side, a very nice American casting sidelong glances at my exam. It seemed strange so hard to see my note, but I thought the student curiosity is thing every day. The class ended and I was happy in life. Some time later my friend who had stayed after school to talk to the teacher call me cell: "Mija! You will not believe what has happened! Remember the the gringooo that? He who sits next to you? He remained redder than a tomato waiting for the teacher! Full Pica told him that as it may have removed the "B" and other people who never thought the had taken an "A"? Professor politely replied that for another study more, and responsive. El Gringo left the room embarrassed and kept going ....
My good shout that was good news and became a milestone today ... I beat up a room full of native speakers, I, I learn that even the whole list of past tense
I surprised by the reaction of my fellow gringo, but the pleasure of having proved that my English is not perfect does not mean that I can achieve something greater, and in this case someone beat me proud.
know I did when I get home? STUDY! because today I have one more reason to beat in this country. PICA TAKE Envy> =)
