When I entered at university, I made a diagnostic English test, because then I could see the level of English and of course, I stayed at the grassroots level. The first English courses I had in college were not bad. The first teacher I had was good and comprehensive, although I was at a disadvantage with students of different carrers, she was kind and patient with me. I did the second and third year of English at the university with a very strict teacher, she at first caused me fear, but after she was more sympathetic, she realized that our level of English was not good and that, moreover, would be very difficult for her to change that situation.
My worst experience was in the third and fourth year of English, because the "Miss" indicated neativamente to a group of students, including me, because we could not speak English. She said that we wouldn't pass the course, and just this happened, many people in my course couldn't pass the english four, because he could not speak English.With this teacher was very uncomfortable to go to class, then I had more afraid of English classes, so far ... But, Today, my experience is different, the teacher is nice and really pacient. Now I managed to lose a little fear into English, but my skills for this language are still lousy.
In conclusion, the university has not improved my learning of English, while teachers make us speak, write and listen to the language, I've been a very bad student in English, and this discourages me. The English classes have been torture for me. The expectations of the university are so high that for us seem unreachable. And, in general, the English courses in university were not appropiate for me profesional formation.
