Today is my last class at SE. Before this  semester, I hadn’t studied English for a very long time, and forgot almost everything. So I am most grateful that my teachers who taught me  English made it quite interesting for me! Jesse helped me understand that actively communicating is important. I should be grateful for the accomplishment and enjoy the process at Smart English! I must say I really enjoyed learning here. Until the next time we meet, thank you very much!
