Maria wanted to improve her English and impress her teacher. She imagined one day having a conversation with native speakers without effort. Her initial step was to install a language learning app on her phone. Instead of killing time on social media, she started using the app every day. She also began keeping a journal, writing down new words she encountered, such as objects in her kitchen and bathroom. She knew that to achieve fluency, she needed to involve herself fully. So, she made a point to include these words in her daily conversations. It was an intense process, but Maria was determined. One day, her teacher made an inquiry about her progress. Maria shared her journal, filled with insights and inspired thoughts on her language journey. Flipping through its pages, the teacher could easily justify her significant improvement and praised her for her evident effort and growth. A proud smile spread across Maria’s face as her dedication and hard work finally served justice to her dream of mastering the English language.
