Learning English

I'm currently in my third or junior year of college and yesterday, I had my first English class. I was a little excited because not only did I meet my new classmates, but now we also have different books which are more advanced, and so, I have both new and greater expectations. This year, I want to be able to express myself freely in this language, to gain more confidence, and practice more often, thereby employing all of my knowledge.*

Hi Yamile. Good job! Your original was of a high level and there was almost nothing to correct. Whatever changes that I’ve made were done to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears. I hope that this helps you. J.

*As an American, we use “third grade” for kids in elementary school, but judging from your picture, you definitely seem to be much older (*-^)! Thus, I opted for you being in your third year of college, or a “junior.”

**Nice quote! Thanks for using it and keeping it alive for a new generation.
