Right after I graduated from high school. I started going to an english academy to enhance this language. -
I felt comfortable in this academy. However, I started noticing that the teachers did not focus much on writing.
Instead, they focused their methods mainly on speaking and grammar. This was acceptable to me, but at the time I did not place much importance on developing my writing skills -
I was still attending the English academy. My grades were great, but I wasn't confident enough to talk with self-assurance. -
Before starting college. I continued going to English classes for two more years. So, I can confirm that much of what I know is due to that academy. However, I was still insecure about my speaking abilities.

The day of my first English class in college arrived, I was excited to how things were going to develop in my undergraduate degree. (talking about my english development) -
In my second semester, in the course English II, we had some assignments that required us to attend classes twice a week at a specific time in order to get extra credit. So, tried to attend as often as possible to earn that score.
However, I never imagined that those meeting would be extremely helpful for developing my speaking skills and overcoming my shyness -
The speaking encounters in my third semester were a beneficial to me in all the areas of english. I still want to continue developing my writing skills, though. So, I hope this semester is as valuable as the previous one.
