Nothing is Perfect

Learning a new language is one of the difficult tasks to people to achieve. After a person takes some language courses, he thinks he got the language and he knows everything about it. DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST COURSE AND HOW YOU WERE PROUD OF YOUR ENGLISH??! But later on, the person feels disappointed and upset from himself because he thinks he isn't improving even though he is. That is true. He is not improving upward he is expanding his knowledge which is more important. I think that is what we are doing in this EAP3. The instructors emphasize on our writing and reading skills, which is great. But at the same time I don’t like this course from another prospective. First, I thought we will have some native speakers, who didn’t do well in ENGLISH 30 in high school, in the high levels. At least that what I was told when I wanted to register for this course. Unfortunately, there was no native speaker in all EAP classes. Second, the time schedule is strongly not good. I know what you will say guys that it like a university class. No, in university we choose our schedule and coordinate our timetable. A lot of research have shown that the best time to study and learn is in early morning after sunrise. However, with this schedule, from 11 to 4, we are unable to do some job in the morning or enjoy our evening. Though, the most what I like about this course is the ton of assignments that we have to handle in because of their variety from speaking to reading and finally writing. I know this course will be hard. But come on guys this is English. So, let's have fun.
