My feeling of learning English in Longwater English College

I used to work hard every day. But because of the financial crisis, I lost my job this Aug. Since then, I had nothing to do.I felt my life was boring, especially on weekdays, my husband was at work and my son was at school, the house was quiet. I didn’t know how to spend my every minute. Every day, I just sat in front of the computer and expected to find a job on line, but it was out of my expectation, I found out that it was useless to  have professional knowledge and rich experience only nowadays. If you want to get a high paying job, you must master a foreign language. However, I almost forgot English,  because I hardly used English at work after  graduation.

Every day I worried about my job, I became moody and sensitive. During that time, my husband suffered terribly.

‘ You can take up your English.’ My husband said, ‘Don't worry, I'm always here with you. In order to reward your fifteen-year hard work, you can be a student again if you are willing to improve your English.’

‘Maybe it is a good idea.’ I said, ‘I must find something to do, otherwise, I will be mad.’

Now, I am a student of Longwater School. Everything has returned to normal once more. Every morning I go to school like a pupil, sitting in the classroom, concentrating on what the teachers teach and reading loudly tegether with my classmates. In my class, there are two teenagers and some are in middle age, I am the eldest one. But for me age is not a problem for studying. After the class, we always do many things together such as telling jokes, drinking and eating outside, and the most interesting thing is gossiping.  It seems like we are on the same age. Luckily, I met my best friends in the name of Rain and Amy. And also I have the chance to meet my excellent teachers, Sam and Richard. They help me so much. When my pronunciation is wrong, Sam always corrects me with a lot of patience. If I can't answer the question, Richard still encourages me with a smile to be able for me to answer it.  They are not only my great teachers, but also my friends. Thank you very much. During the periond, I have been making a great progress in English.

Now, I get my confidence and happiness back again!
