Today it’s my last day on smartenglish and my last class. I’m sad because i like my teachers and specialy Celeste. The first time i saw her my feeling was, she is pretty, kind, fun, i understand our american accent and she speak a little french, very convenient for me. After 6 months she became like a friend because she know one part of my life and me too, I know her a little bit.
Not really, when I speak in…

5 minutes ago, I met an American guy, I knew him when I was a student in Chinese, 1 or 2 years ago now, and when I exchange just 3 or 4 sentences after I say good bye I say this mistake, this mistake… horrible, I express what I feel and I think but I realize my mistake when I talk. It’s horrible, I don’t know if I improve my English, or no,  I feel better, I’m confident with English speaking.
