How I am trying to improve my English Hello Everybody! My name is Alena, I`m from Russia and I`m here to improve my Speaking and Writing. I`ve been learning English since I was 6 and I had wonderful teacher at that time. But school didn`t help me with larning much. Our teachers were not so professional like they could be and I think didn`t have a great desire. For example, those days I had an odd English teacher with a terrible Ukranian accent. She hated me because I always tried to correct her. My English got better only after I graduated from University. It had happen because I take my own money and my own desire and went to the language school. When I`ve finished my classes because of my teacher`s maternity leave my level was between Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate I think. Those days I worked in the airport near my town but unfortunately I didn`t need to use English there. And my level was getting worse. I`d changed a lot of work places after but only at the last job I`d find a kind of English practise. I got the job in the international logistic company and they`d needed people with English. I was speaking on the phone and writing e-mails in English. It was two years ago. Now I`m a mom and I`ve changed the job. I`ve been teaching English since this February. Now I`m working with begginers only, but I really like it and I want to improve my English so much. That`s why I`m here now. I need a lot of practice and I ask you for help. Thank you in advance!
