Update on my Language Learning History

In my first blog-entree I already spoke about my Language learning history, 

especially how I learned English in school as well as on my travels and journeys

to other countries.

However, in this entree I would like to update my LLH, therefore I will focus

on my expectations for my future learning process as well as how I
changed my way of English learning during my university time so far.

Finally, I would like to give some advice to next year's first-year students providing

them with helpful information how to facilitate the Englsih learning process.

First of all, before I came to university I expected that my level of English would

be sufficient.

Anyhow, during my first weeks at university I realized that I had to cope

with several problems.

Especially I had to struggle writing academic English texts.

Searching for the reason, I evaluated the way I was used to write and

with the help of my English tutorials I found several ways how to improve
and develop my academic writing style.

The best ways gaining better writing skills are:

Firstly, force yourself writing texts that include many academic words by

 using words from the academic word list.

Furthermore, avoid words like: to make, to get or to give.

Use instead synonyms like to create, to receive or to provide.

Secondly, provide your readers with an well ordered structure that

 facilitates reading and creates the impression of professionalism.

This will all contribute to an academic writing style which is essential

 obtaining good grades at the university.

Furthermore, I changed my way of English learning in that way, that

I'm now more focused on Business related texts and therefore,
I read several online journals in my free time

about international business which is improving my steady
extension of vocabulary.

In the end, I would like to give some advice to next year's first-year students.

I can recommend, surmount difficulties by facing them.

Never hide yourself, face the fields of your problems!

First locate errors and after that work on them to prevent doing them

over and over again.

Moreover, do not be depressed or in low spirits.

Try always to motivate yourself and you will be able to improve your English skills.

I would like to end this with an quotation.

"While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making

 mistakes and becoming superior."  ~Henry C. Link
