I started to think about gaining a good education when I was 12 years old. That time was rather difficult time for our country, and consequently for our family. My father had just started his business in a young country, which had just become an independent state. I heard his talks about business in our country, about lack of specialists, about development of his business and used to say to myself that I would do my best to help my father when I grow up. Since that time I have been studying hard, attending different courses in order to improve my knowledge. Especially with this aim I had attended English Language Courses in Lewes School of English in UK when I was 13. Later on, when I came back home, in order to improve my language skills I had one-to-one lessons with qualified English speaking teachers. I was interested in not only fluent speaking and writing in English, but also in understanding science and math in English. That time I used to think that I would be an economist that is why I studied math hard. Two years after, in order to improve my oratorical skills I participated in Model UN General Assembly in Moscow, where I presented my report in front of MGIMO students. Moreover, last year was significant and crucial in my life. In summer holidays I had a chance to study in Lexington Prep School in the USA. Teachers from Lexington made a very deep impression on me being so experienced, having professional degrees from top ranking USA universities, including Harvard, MIT, Princeton and the University of Chicago. After this my experience I have firmly decided to study Business Management.…

She enjoys traveling and considers English crucial and useful in everyday life. She has been studying English irregularly in school and after that by herself and at various English language schools.

Due to this lifestyle, I have been a consistent academic achiever. Although grades are just numbers, they are still partly determinants of success. I have also realized that achieving all the results of hardwork and the process done to get there is not only fulfilling, but the most important of all.…

What is more, the third in college is the time for an undergraduate to carefully establish a career plan. After considering all my personal traits, I decided to get a job after graduation.

Besides, I would also apply for some English training program to improve my comprehensive skills. Since Hong Kong and Macau are preferable to me, Cantonese is highly needed.…
On the one hand, many students find that students are very confused after graduation. They do not know what to do after graduation, or they do not have a clear purpose of learning English. This is why the majority of English majors have not been able to do some jobs related to English. Only a small number of students have a clear goal, and they hope that their future work can be related to English, and they are interested in English. On the other hand, students show their lack of interests toward some English courses at the university, which most claim to be English Newspapers Reading , the History of English and American Literature, the Appreciation of Short Stories and so on. Students say that most of these courses are for candidates, they had to get credit so that they could graduate. But after the end of a semester, students have no impression on the content of these courses. The reason why students are not satisfied with the course is that the teaching contents of these courses are boring, and some teachers always teach in a tedious way. Meanwhile, Educational courses are focused on theory only and are lack of practice. Students are instilled in a large quantity of theoretical knowledge about English, covering a wide range of contacts with a lot of English-related disciplines. But in fact these classes which are seemed noble do not have much help for students. Students believe that the five curriculums offered by the…
