Good evening! Wow, my sophomore year has already started. It’s time to talk about my expectations, isn’t it?


Well, speaking about English I want to become more professional in it. I know that I need to improve my writing, listening, reading and, of course, speaking skills. I think, my speaking skills are needed the most intensive work on. I have two problems: mistakes and pronunciation. I know many grammar rules, but when I start speaking all the tenses and articles are going completely mad. And my accent is far from the ideal one, some sounds still don’t like me and I can’t win them…

My wine cork, have you missed me? I’m here and I’m ready for work.


As for Spanish I want to learn it well. I hope I’ll be able to speak on it to the end of this year.

We have already started learning different conversational phrases. It’s cool! I’m able to introduce myself, say goodbye and so on. And we had only a few classes!

Anyway, I promise myself to do all the homework and learn new words, but English takes the top priority for me.


My biggest expectation of the sophomore year is connected with summer 2019. I’ve been dreaming about work&travel since I was fifteen. They say that the second year is the best moment for it because you have already learned a lot, but you are not too busy with your public examinations.

I made a plan and the first step is to ask people who went to America this summer about their experience. I want to learn everything about the company they’ve chosen, their job, salary, language level, and so on. I’m looking forward their return!

I know that I need to work really hard if I want to go to America, but I’m ready.

America

Only one word, but such a huge motivation for me!


Also I want to pass my winter and summer finals from the first time and, ideally, without bad grades. I hope I’ll be able to do it. Fingers crossed🤞


The last thing I want to tell you today is connected with my group. I hope that this year we will hang out together more often! I want to know all of you better and become closer ❤️

That’s all for today

Thanks for your attention,

Volchs❤️
