Flying in the English Sky

李锦欣

In every young people's dream, they look forward to their own sky where they can fly freely. I had been one of them before I started the study in BWOL. Now I have found the piece of sky for myself.

One and a half years ago, I faced to a question in studying English - to use English as a skill or only as a language tool. If only use it as a tool, it was "a small piece of cake" for me since I had been working in the English-speaking environments for almost 10 years. However, I still needed to have further study if I suppose to use English as a skill. At this moment, my colleague introduced Bei Wai Online to me. She said, “If you really want to improve your English, you can choose BWOL; but if you simply consider to get a certificate, you’d better not choose this because it will be very difficult to pass the exams without hard working.” So, I became a student of BWOL.

After 3 semesters’ study, I have got much more knowledge about English and English-speaking countries than before. I know better now how to communicate with my foreign colleagues. So far, I specially appreciate the course of English for Studying. From this course, I learned what was “Brainstorm”, and how to organize the words to be an essay in a good way. Meanwhile, I find that online study is a wonderful way of studying for the people with jobs. I can discuss the questions with my classmates online and also get teachers’ supports online, which do not occupy my working time.

I not only become confident but also grasp a new-style study measure. I am lucky that I have found the piece of sky for learning English. I believe I can fly.
