Actually, I feel very lucky that I am a member of the Excellent Class. My ability is inferior to others in many aspects, so during class I often feel anxiety. My spoken English is not good enough. Although I understand what Martin says, I do not know how to answer him. Maybe I am used to the Chinese way of thinking and not so good at organizing the order of English sentences. Therefore, I admire Chinese people who speak good English and hope that one day I can be like them.To be honest, I think it was difficult for me to do the interpretation Mr Gong asked us to do during our seminar. We seldom do this kind of exercise. I could only grasp a few words, but it was really a good way to learn how to interpret. After TEM-4 many students like me have lost the enthusiasm for learning. We are aimless and we do not know how to stimulate our interest of learning. I hope teachers could give us some advice on this issue and also use some useful learning methods in class.
