Learning English by Paul Flores https://padlet.com/flores_paul23/z16la5uwlx9h My Story en-us 2019-04-22 19:24:15 UTC 2019-04-22 20:43:33 UTC hello@padlet.com READING flores_paul23 https://padlet.com/flores_paul23/z16la5uwlx9h/wish/353162466 In general, I can understand most of the text in different situations even I don’t know the meaning of some words. When I was a child, I hadn’t read books and when I read book was because I had to make it as homework as a result I am not used to read book which is a weakness to improve my reading skills.

In addition, at my work I am speaking English with people from different countries and it let me meet people from Uk, Australia, USA and some Arabic countries.  I had more difficulties to understand when people from India are speaking because the pronunciation is very faster and they don’t speak louder.

It is not easy for me, because I don’t feel comfortable to talk with people for the first time and moreover I am very reserved with my opinions. It is a personal challenge.

I have more difficulties when I write by hand because in the computer the autocorrect helps me. I have difficulties to talk about the past but in this course I improve and now I am able to understand most of the rules. 

At work I used to write emails but at certain point I just repeat the same format as always there are the same questions and I create templates in order to save time. Sometimes I have to deal with complains and it is the moment where I have to be prudent and cautious with all the words to avoid misunderstandings and my grammar faults appears. 

Regarding my vocabulary I had learnt a lot thanks to work in English companies where most of my colleagues speaking English and also I had studied in the university as I did the Tourism Degree but I need to learn more vocabulary related with the medicine and technicians works. 

In general, I am trying to take more time to practise my grammar and vocabulary.
