HW #1

a) Why are you studying English? Explain with details. (50 words or more)
English is now a very useful skill. And I want to finish my bachelor's degree in American. On the other hand, I am always curious about the American cultures, included the music, fiction and film, etc. So learning English is helping me to know this country better and making more friends.

b) Do you use English very much when you're not in this class? Explain what situations you need to use it in. (50 words or more)
I think I need to use it almost everyday. Except in the class, I use English talk and text with my friends. And not only for my American friends now, because I am trying to speak English with my ESL classmates, too. Plus, living L.A. means I have to use English for daily life. For intense while I was looking for an partment near to PCC, I made a lot of phone calls and met with many managers for details. 


c) How do you feel when you use English? Are you sometimes nervous, comfortable, or...? Explain. (50 words or more)
I can understand what people are saying mostly. However, when I was talking, sometimes I can not figure out the word I want to speak. Specially during the writing test, I will get nervous because of the time, vocabularies, and topic. I am working on the vocabulary's building and reading, listening, speaking more.
