學習日記【Learning Diary】

我從小學開始學習英文，但是學到了現在還是不太會用英文表達自己的看法。尤其是高中畢業之後，因為越來越少頻繁接觸英文，所以退步的非常多，一些英文的基本觀念都被遺忘在記憶的角落裡。

直到現在出社會工作，接觸的人事物更多了，突然意識到現在自己這樣停滯不前的狀態是不行的，開始想要學習並改變自己。但是因為許久沒有練習和使用英文，而不知道要從何開始。思考了許久後決定以考多益為目標，讓自己有比較清晰的前進方向。之後便根據以前的學習經驗，發現到自己比較適合有老師指導，自學的成效沒有那麼好。並加上工作的原因，分析出自己很適合上線上課程，能更彈性地運用時間。當我確定想法後，就馬上在Amazing Talker上尋找老師，並遇到了現在的老師─ Amber老師。

在這三個月和Amber老師學習的過程中，能感受到老師非常用心和耐心的教導。老師曾說過：「學習英文的最終目的就是為了能和人溝通。」雖然是以多益為目標，但是老師每次上課前十分鐘都會讓我練習口說，上課的過程中也會很有耐心地糾正我的發音。每次課堂的學習和課後的複習，都能讓人感受到自己正在往目標邁進。雖然有時還是會忍不住感到灰心，覺得自己的進步很緩慢，但是老師都會鼓勵我，讓人有動力繼續往前。非常感謝和高興在學習英文的路上有Amber老師的陪伴!

期許自己能一直持續學習，並成為更好的自己。

【English Version】

I've been learning English since I was at elementary school. Nevertheless, I'm still not very good at expressing myself in English. What is worse, I seldom speak English after graduating from high school. Therefore, my English ability has become rusty. Some basic grammar have been forgotten for a long time.

When I started to work, I got in touch with new people and things. It was not until then that I suddenly realized that I was dissatisfied with my current situation. As a result, I began to learn more and change myself. But I hadn't practiced English for a long time, I didn't know how to start learning English again. After thinking for a while, I decided to take the TOEIC. This is a goal that I am heading for it.

In my learning experience, I found myself more suitable learning with teacher’s guidance. Besides, in light of my working schedule, I want to be more flexible. Therefore, I am very suitable for online courses. After weighing my options, I immediately looked for a teacher on Amazing Talker and met my teacher, Amber.

During these three months of studying with Teacher Amber, I found she is a very patient and very professional teacher. I remembered that the teacher once said, "The ultimate targets of learning English is to be able to communicate with others." Teacher Amber will not only let me practice speaking ten minutes before the class but also be very patient to correct my pronunciation mistakes every time. When I learn in class and review after class, I can feel that I am moving towards the goal. I can't help but feel discouraged and feel that my progress is too slow sometimes. But Teacher Amber will encourage me to keep moving on. I’m so grateful to her.

I hope I can continue learning and become a better self!
