About me - KAY

Hi, Emma.

My name is kay, this is my second course in British Council. I did General English - intermediate 1 on two weeks before.

I came to here is to improve my English because I found my English is weak and need to get more improvement during this semester break. I am currently studying at Taylor's University, doing accounting and finance course. My semester break will be end on 25 September, so I really hope to improve as much as I can in this holiday.

Besides, one year more I will complete my degree and graduate. Nowadays, most of the career requires the candidate have good command in English, so this is the best timing and chance for me to improve my English before going for work.

I like to watch F1, I spent a lot of time in watching the news, for instance 2 hours a day. This sport is really interesting, not only about the cars or drivers, it is more about how the team director set their strategics and win the race.

I hope this course will really teach me more about reading skill, which I have big problem on. I have to read a lot of articles or journals before I start the assignment. Most of the time, I can't understand what is those article talk about and unable to finish large number of reading.

So, I will pay full attention and learn the way to read through an article or journal effectively and efficiently.

Thank you!!

Hello

Dear all,
Welcome to the Academic Reading and Writing class for intermediate students. This course is Green and there is a second course which is Blue.

My name is Emma and I'll be teaching you every day of the course. I like this because I get to know you all better and we get to work more on the skills that you most need. I think I'm quite a friendly teacher but I really don't like students being late and students who miss lots of classes!

I'm married to a Malaysian and I have 3 children, aged 11, 9 and 7. I have lots of pets - can you guess that they are?! I have a cat with a broken paw who needs lots of care and cuddles at the moment but he's very sweet and a good patient! I have a big Malaysian family here and a small family back in England. At the end of July, I'm going to England for 3 days with my daughter to surprise my Grandma at her 90th birthday party!

I love reading. At the moment, I'm reading Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee. It's a classic of English Literature. I like rowing with people from my old university and playing badmninton with my son. I'm Secretary of a Society too so that keeps me really busy.

I hope you'll enjoy the course and get lots of out it.

See you soon!
