English Commando!

I have friends who...

Has always confirmed their own English as bad and broken and some even said they were stupid.

But they were able to speak and pronounce words they know properly.

Sometimes I don't understand why they want to speak of themselves like that...

Cause... words are actually a very powerful existence in human life.

They can hurt people, help people, beat down people, provoke people, disgust people, provoke people and etc etc...

So... Choosing words is important especially when we are referring to ourselves...

My friends have a basic command in English and they just need a bit of polishing and help. And maybe a bit more details on grammar.

But as one of my lecturer's say, my classmates are good students, our class are good students but we're all lacking in confidence in certain parts of the things we do and we may be a bit more careless than some people but we're all good as long as we're careful.

He appreciates we put efforts in our work and he doesn't plan on holding back on us and he always hope that he can provoke us to do better because beating us to pulp and buried under six feet isn't his intention at all.

Sometimes, I really want to meet back my old school mates. The second group of friends, we all speak in English because its probably the one language we have in common and the fact is... It's what our parents use to speak to us as well.

A full blast of English language, we all make a fool out of some people when we mimic how the American speak or Europeans speak. The slang or rather ascent is really confusing. Good old times I must admit and I miss it.

Its sem four and I'm learning how to speak proper mandarin with my friends and I find myself thinking in mandarin. But I always turn back to English since my mandarin vocabulary is as small as a primary student level 3. I can't really speak complete sentences, and when it comes to translating I get my classmates to help me. Because... I have this one friend whose language problem is quite big and she understands mandarin best.

All is fun in college and assignments +___+ I think...
