As I am from a Chinese speaking family, I was not exposed to English
until the day I went to school. Thus, English has always been a challenge for
me. As I grew older, I began to understand the importance of English. It is a
common language that we have to use due to the multi-racial culture we have in Singapore.
In school, we were given newspapers every Monday to read for 30 minutes.
However, we would spend most of the time talking to our friends instead of
reading. Throughout my four years of secondary school, English was the subject
that I would score the lowest for. Thus, on the day when the O’level results
were released, I was happy that I had managed to pass but sad at the same time
as I did not do well. Hence, I chose to enter polytechnic to avoid general paper
in junior college. However, after entering polytechnic, I realised that English
is still an important part of my studies. We were required to write reports and
essays and English does play an important role in helping us deliver the accurate
information and data.
