Original:

I hadn’t came here to study English about one week, and when I had a class yesterday, I found that my listening status was lower than before, which made me felt a bit of stressful. I know that if I want to get my goal of speaking English fluently at the end of year, I need to pay close attention on learning English. Next year, maybe I will transfer to another team,and the boss is a Japanese, so in order to communicate with her smoothly, I need to exercise English on listening and speaking as often as I can.
