English and Me By Orvala

 English and Me

By : Orvala Rahmadhani

    When I was a little I loved listening to English songs and watching teletubbies on TV. From that moment my parents always bought me a cassettes of children's songs using English, my favorite song is 'Are You Sleeping (Brother John) and 'London Bridge is Falling Down'. From kindergarten to elementary school I was interested in learning English and always got a good scores on every English test.

    Day by day i learned English from school but i feel not enough. Then I play movies and songs every day so that my English skills can improve, at least one movie or 10 songs a day. During the high school I started looking for what major I would take when I went to college and in 12th grade I realized that English major would be the right one for me. 

    Besides that, the thing that made me like English was the band One Direction, their songs made me like and start to study English for more. Many One Direction's song can make me happy and calm at the moment. I'm always looking for words or sentences that are foreign to my ears when listening to music so that I can add them to my vocabulary list and every time I see a movies I'm also always looking for new vocabulary and grammar so I can practice it in the future.


    I also read English novels but at that time I didn't finish reading them because the duration of borrowing the book was only short so I had to look for other books in other libraries so I could read English novels longer. When reading English novels, it's like learning to spell again and looking for the meaning of words in the novels so that I can understand the contents of the novels as well.

    That's how I learn english from the past and now I will continue to study in English major and make English course looks fun and not boring for all people. I have to keep improve my speaking, reading, listening, grammar, and etc so that I can share and help many people who needs help at learning English
