Well, actually, it was all about my fluency, my coherence, abilities to speak a lecture in public. I was shy and I even can’t write the text to my teacher how to deal with this problem. However, I find a way out of this which is listening music. Some of the people will consider that it’s a waste of time, but for me it was my hobby and I love it for some obvious reasons. I use music like a pen reliever which makes me comfortable when I’m alone because I was an introverted person. Like I said before, however, on the other hand, music is massively and drastically changes the way I speak, especially with the sounds. For instance, I started to listen Eminem’s music, which is rap music. every word he say has a meaning so then I tried to write it down on my notebook and I tried to say it was loud now it’s not going to help me either so my first goal is to just speak in the everybody else in front of everybody else but then Suddenly my goal changed which is I want to move abroad to the US concrete jungle with dreams. There is no saying that you can’t do it in here. US give you the opportunities to build a brand or create a system that everybody follows. So it was unexpected. After hearing just the music in order to speak clearly, I was great at a dream that I love which is USA. So right now I’m so proud of myself to make it happen. I learn English every day. I’m so thankful for myself. Overall I’m so.

Well, actually, it was all about my fluency, my coherence, and my ability to give a lecture in public. I was shy, and I couldn't even write a text to my teacher about how to deal with this problem. However, I found a way out of this, which was listening to music. Some people might consider that a waste of time, but for me, it was my hobby, and I loved it for some obvious reasons. I used music as a stress reliever, which made me comfortable when I was alone because I was an introverted person. Like I said before, however, on the other hand, music drastically changed the way I spoke, especially with the sounds. For instance, I started to listen to Eminem's music, which is rap music. Every word he says has a meaning, so I tried to write it down in my notebook and practiced saying it out loud. Now, that wasn't going to help me either, so my first goal was just to speak in front of everybody. But then, suddenly, my goal changed to wanting to move abroad to the US, the concrete jungle of dreams. There is no saying that you can't do it here. The US gives you the opportunities to build a brand or create a system that everybody follows. So it was unexpected. After just hearing the music, I was able to speak clearly, and I was pursuing a dream that I loved, which is the USA. So right now, I'm so proud of myself for making it happen. I learn English every day, and I'm so thankful for myself. Overall, I'm so.
