San Marcos

This is my second posting, and I would like to write about why I chose this university from various choices.

When I was in Japan, I was going to an English conversation school which was not helpful to develop my convesation skill. In the school, an American teacher recommended me to go to this Unversity because she was going to this University. According to her, Texas is warm all year around, and that is good for me since I hate cold weather. Also, ESL of this University is really good even though it is difficult. I have some choices even in Texas, for example U.T. But I did not want to go to there because U.T. is kinda difficult for me.

Now, I sometimes think that I should have chosen a University in a city which is urbanized such as New York and Los Angeles, and I actually wanted to go such places, but I also strongly think that San Marcos is really good place to study and I like here.

First Blog

My first blog will be about my opinion toward English class. Actually, English is the class that I hate most for two reason. First, since I am not a native, I am not able to write essay like a native. For example, when I have to write a essay in class, I always get behind other people. In addition, writing essay in English really makes me frustrated because I have to very consider grammar. Also, I do not know a lot of words, so I have to use a dictionary to know words.  Therefore, these things always makes me slow to write. 

Second, every English class is based on discussion. This is also makes me frustrated because I can not speak like a native. Since I am not able to speak English well, speaking English in front of Americans is very ashamed and scary.
