ReplyDeleteI think you lived in the USA, so you have a lot of opportunities than someone. You will achieve your dream.
DeleteGood luck Thinh, and hope you achieve your dream soon.
DeleteESOL is the best way to enhance the English beside speaking with the people, watching TV programs, watching movies and listening to music. I took ESOL grammar and writing to enhance my writing and grammar knowledge. I’m thinking to take a reading and another writing because I need to make myself perfect in English. After that, I think I’m going to study engineering because it is my dream. I need to be like my father and uncle, but I need good English first and some experience in this country after that start studying.
ReplyDeleteMe too bro !!! I can understand you,we want to do everything within make sure,so good luck to you and be successful Ok !!
DeleteI agree your opinion, ESOL is a good way to improve English for listening, writing, reading and speaking. After that, we can communicate with people better. That is why we met together in Lonestar.
DeleteYou are on the right path to reach your professional dreams.
DeleteKeep it up!!!!
Good Luck, Zaid! I'm glad you realize the value of ESOL program. In order to perform well in any college class, here in the US, one needs good command over written and spoken English communication skills. I advise all my students to not rush through ESOL program as that helps build the foundation and prevent one from getting stressed during other college courses. For Engineering program, one has to take GRE and TOEFL exam and that requires advanced level of English.
DeleteAcademic and career goals, that is my dream. I think almost people like to success in life. In the USA, we have a lot of opportunities to achieve good goals. Now I have a job, and my life is good. I can take care myself, but I came back schools. Why? Because I believe the education is the best way to improve my life. Before I went to school, my English is not good. In here, everywhere in the USA is English. First thing makes my life better that study English. My dream is big, but I know if I work hard. That will come true. I want to be a teacher again. Three years ago, I was disappointed because I couldn't understand everything around me. That is why I told my parents I wanted to come back school for studying English first. And now I really appreciate all! I will try to improve my English and start to touch my dream. Hopefully, I will graduate the university one day.
ReplyDeleteYou are s strong girl in my eyes my friend,you make me so respect you o lot and o lot,you are always try the best you can to get new things,nice to be friend with you....
DeleteYou are a very intelligent girl!!!!, I am convinced that you are going to reach your dreams. Always remember that with effort everything in life is achieved.
DeleteI think you will be a good teacher. I wish your dream will become a truth.
DeleteBest wishes Phuong! Perhaps, you should start taking advice on teacher's certification program so you can start planning your college courses to become a teacher. :)
DeleteNowhere to learn English is better than in America. I have learned English since I was a child in my country, but it didn't work out. Until now, I am confident in using English here. Since I first started learning English here, I have gotten more comfortable, and I am happy with everything so far. Back to 2 years ago, I was so scared because I didn't know English, but I still wanted to come here. When I finish learning English, I will go to college to follow my goal. I want to work with computers, so my major is computer science. One problem right now is that I cannot still decide which category in computer field I want to study, but I think I will have to determine that soon. I hope I will achieve my goal soon.
ReplyDeleteYou're a intelligent and clever boy. I believe you will succeed.
DeleteEnglish is known as a global language.It is spoken all over the world. Therefore, everyone is learning English. English has been my favorite subject since I was in grade 3. Actually, I was not good as the other subjects, but English. After high school, I wanted to be a teacher of English as a second language, so I decided to apply for a college in my hometown. Later, I had chance to study abroad. Studying English and applying it to daily life in a native speaking country are the great opportunity for me to achieve my goal. After ESOL, I am going to major in teaching.
ReplyDeleteDo you think of being English teacher?
Deleteyeah... I love children and teaching
DeletePerfect plan, Trinh! Our college has good program in Education and teacher's certification. Good luck!
DeleteMy academic and professional objectives had a greater vision since I arrived at this country. I am currently taking ESOL classes, where I am learning English and adapting to academic conditions. My primary objective after finishing English classes is to start with a technical career in the field of health. Then, when fully prepared with the language and economically, I will begin university studies to become a doctor or general dentist. My desires for overcoming do not end because to achieve a full life there is something to learn every day. I know that the road is long and narrow, but with effort and practicing English every day, I will be able to achieve my professional and academic dreams.
ReplyDeleteWow..That's really good career
DeleteEverything is possible if you set your mind on it! Best wishes. Careers in the medical field are very lucrative and promising. Maybe you can start exploring and asking questions from now, and perhaps find some voluntary work in a hospital, maybe 1-2 hours in a week. It helps to do voluntary work.
DeleteEveryone in the USA commune by English. So learning English is the first way for career goals. I took several classes in ESOL program in Lone Star College-North Harris from last semesters. In this Spring semester, I was taking two classes in Lone Star College UP. I learned a lot of useful skills from the program. After I complete this ESOL program, I will register in the college program with an engineering career. I want to graduate environment engineer like what I graduated in my country. I wish everything is going well.
ReplyDeleteEnvironmental Engineering is a lot in demand now and will surely have a lot of scope in the future. Best wishes, Dan!
DeleteI have many reasons that I want to learn English. First, I'm living in the United States, so I need to speak English because it is the first language here. Second, I would like to study and graduate with a college degree, and I will have better job opportunities. When I am going to finish ESOL program, I will take college classes. I will plan to study business administration because I used to study Accounting in my country. Besides, I love math, and I also like to work with customers. Finally, when I took a writing class, I think this class could help me to get better my English skills because when I write, I need to combine grammatical rules, vocabulary, and a lot of writing structures, too. In my view, the teacher has an important role. Especially my teacher in writing class because she encourages the students to write athought of interactive activities. In conclusion, each person who wants to improve their English should take writing classes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Nilda! I wish you luck and hope you get success in reaching your career goals. Best wishes!
DeleteWhy I took the ESOL class because I wanted to prove my career. In the USA people communicate by speaking English.I would like to talk close to a native language because my career is the marketing.That has to contact customer and coworker.I have studied for three semesters, and it was very helpful to understand what people are talking.The writing improves the skill of English, grammar, vocabulary, organized the world and speaking.After, I finish with ESOL classes; I will take a class for the business administration or business management.I hope that could help to hit my career. I do have worked marketing in my country.It will be wonderful if I work the same in the USA.I wish one day my dream will come true and success.
ReplyDeleteLearn to write English is big challenges for me for these reasons. First, I could reach a new position in my the actual job. For example, I could be director assistance. Second, speak and write English is important me because every single day I could improve enormously in my position, and I could realize my assignments more confident. The last one, speak more fluently can achieve all my goal in future. In summarize, fight for my goal in the English language is my actual challenge in this moment.
ReplyDeleteI am learning english because it's really important to comunicate with people. Also, I am taking ESOL program because I'd like to do a associated degree in order to get a job once I finish my studies. English will be usefull if I get the job that I want. It is not an easy way, but I have faith on that I will make it possible.
