Hi everyone! I’m Ying. Some of you may know me from our English practice sessions. Today, I want to share my story with you in hopes of inspiring and encouraging you on your English learning journey.
Since I was a child, I have always had a dream of exploring and experiencing different cultures and customs of different countries. However, like many people, I was not a confident English speaker by nature. I was always shy and timid when speaking English. After graduating from university, I worked for a foreign company, but my English level did not improve much.
In 2016, an accident happened — I was in a car accident. This incident made me realize that life is so unpredictable. After the accident, I decided to go to Australia and New Zealand to work and travel. I told myself that apart from enjoying the beauty of these two amazing countries and their landscapes, I was also determined to improve my language skills.
So after settling down in Australia, I encouraged myself to be more outgoing and talk to my neighbors, make friends with non-native speakers, and participate in some English conversation groups and clubs to practice my speaking skills. Gradually, I started to become more confident. I met friends from all over the world, traveled and worked at the same time, and even became a bilingual helicopter guide in New Zealand. All of this is incredible to me, and I still feel like I’m dreaming.
Actually, it’s a long story, but I’ll try to make it short here, otherwise you guys might not watch the whole video haha. From now on, I’ll continue sharing daily English expressions and my personal experiences with you here. Remember – you can achieve your dreams too! Be brave, take the first step, and become the person you want to be.
