English experience

I began to learn english when i was 10 years old in primary school.

I started to learn colors in english for it the teacher asked us to make teams of colors and every team had a name which made a reference to a color. After, we went out in the court , at the announcement of the color , the concerned team had to run and touch a wall. It was a playful way to learn english, i enjoyed this activity because i had fun learning colors in english.

I remembered another activity in english lesson. To learn the body part in english, the teacher sang us a song in english which spoke about parts of the body. While the teacher sang he made a choreography showing the part of the body which he sang.

In Middle school, english lessons were not playful, we had to read texts in english and answer questions on these texts. We had to listen to audio recordings in english and say what we had understood. It was only the written and oral understanding. The teachers i had in middle school were rather boring and they didn’t speak english all the time. It’s in the middle school the basics of english are made and i hadn’t good teachers of english who tempt me to learn english so i had really difficulties to progress in english.

I went to Wales in the second year in middle school, it was my first travel abroad.

It was a good experience because i discovered another country but i didn’t speak english very much. My host family wasn’t kind and  wasn’t kind of me. For exemple i didn’t eat with the family but except for in another room. However, the organized visits in particular the visit of the Millennium Stadium pleased me a lot.

In high school, we concentrated more on the conjugation in english than on the dialogue in english during the english class. We also made oral and written understanding like in the middle school.

In the university, we did a lot of differents activities during the english class like make a tutorial video or make a presentation of yourself. The work is concentrated on the dialogue and the practice of english.  I prefer english lessons in the university because it’s more interesting and because activities are varied.
