Today's topic Two-student opinions on what they have learned in their studies at NCFL This is the viewpoint of a first year student. “Hello everyone. Thank you for listening today. I’m a first-year student and I’m going to talk about what I have learned so far in the English Department. The first thing is obviously English. In these first few months. I have greatly improved my English because of the many English classes we have. I especially like my TOEIC class and my grammar was not so good but I speak English a lot and the teachers always correct my English so this makes me better understand foreign cultures and makes me happy. Also my listening skills have gotten better too and when you enter this school you are going to hear a lot of English everyday. Naturally your understanding will get better and your pronunciation will improve too. The second thing I’ve learned is to have more confidence. This is actually one of of the reasons why I entered this school. Because when I saw the second-year students, I liked how they had so much confidence when they talked so, I thought that I wanted to be more confident like them. Well since I entered NCFL, thanks to all my classes and this all English environment I have started to have a little confidence with my English and with myself. In my opinion, having confidence is very important part of life. If you don't have confidence just yet that is ok but just keep trying. I am really grateful to this school and teachers for improving my English and giving me more confidence. Thank you.” Now let’s listen to what a second year student says. “Yes, I’m a second-year student in the English Department. Today, I want to tell you about how I have grown over my first year at NCFL. Well first of all my English skills have improved and actually when I was a high school, I couldn’t speak English very well and I didn’t understand grammar that well either. Now I am enjoying my school life and have a habit of studying English everyday, so I have seen improvements in my English skills. Af
