What are the good things and bad things about studying at an international school?

Original –

At a international school I don’t like teachers ask me so many questions in English. And I don’t like have a test about speaking because that time I will so scary and I when teacher ask me some questions I will forget how to answer their questions. I can practice my English speaking. And I can go abroad for four years. I don’t like when I am in Senior high school, because in my school and in senior high school we have all the class we speak English and I think that is very difficult for me.

Correction –

At my international school I don’t like when teachers ask me so many questions in English, it’s overwhelming. And I don’t like taking tests about speaking because I will be scared and when teachers ask me some questions I will forget how to answer. It’s good that I can practice my English speaking, and I can go abroad in four years. I don’t like being in Senior high school, because we have all  classes in English and I think that is very difficult for me, sometimes.
