I have been learning English for 7 years but the skill of my speaking is never improved because I don't have chances to talk to someone in English and now it's more difficult to do it than before during the quarantine but those people who are listening to your lessons are very lucky because the technology has already helped us to solve the problem. By the way I wish everything must return to normal as soon as possible!

Hi! I am Nang Shwe Li Tun, 23 years old. I am from Taunggyi, a small city in Myanmar. My parents moved a lot of cities for their jobs while I was young, so I got amazing childhood by travelling. Now, I am waiting for my graduation result from West Yangon Technological University to be an electric engineer but it is not quite simple especially during these current situations in Myanmar. Even though I am not graduated yet, I started working for a local ISP company as a NOC engineer. I hope I could achieve my dreams after these crises.

My name is Arzun Arif and I'm originally from Bulgaria, but I've been living here in England for 1 year now.
I'm currently unemployed because the agency I was working for went out of business last month due to the COVID-19 crisis. Given the fact I am already a qualified teacher and I've worked as a teacher, I've decided to start teaching again. After several applications, screening tests and interviews with school directors, I've been selected for a role in a high school in Bourgas (a large city on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast).
I have a starting position in September.
Hi Arzun, thanks for sharing! You wrote an excellent response. Here is a correction for you:
'Given the fact that I am already...' not, '
Hope this is useful for you!

My name's Thao Vy. I'm 28 years old. I'm originally from Vietnam. Currently, I'm living in Binh Chanh which is a suburban area of Ho Chi Minh City. I work as an English teacher at a foreign language center near my house. Teaching is my passion and I've been doing it for more than three years now. I'm interested in doing continuing professional development courses for teachers on FutureLearn. I'm thinking of taking a Master's course in TESOL because I want to develop my teaching skills and teach English at universities.
Glad you liked it, Vy Ngo! You wrote a fantastic response here. There is one recommendation for you:
- It's not necessary to capitalize 'master's' unless you are using it in the full name of the degree: '...thinking of getting a Master's in TESOL'.
Hope this helps you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thanks for your recommendation! 🙂

Hi teachers, I'm Shwe Yin. I was born and raise in Yangon. I've got a bachelor of education degree from Yangon University of Education. I've been working in the education sector as an Economics teacher for ten years. Teaching profession, which is something I imagined I would do. Moreover, I'm pretty interested in English. Really' I'm not good at English. I didn't take time to study English. Now, I've got a chance to improve my English language skill. I've decided to devote my time to English studying. Besides, I'm hoping to work in the English language teaching field once I finish my studies.
Thanks Sir!
Excellent, Shwe! Here are some corrections for you:
1) 'I was born and raised in Yangon,' not, 'raise.'
2) 'Teaching is not something I imagined...' not, 'Teaching profession, which is something I imagined...'
3) It's a bit more common to say, '...improve my English language skills,' not, 'skill.'
Hope this helps you!

I am from Patiala. I work for a private limited company as a subject matter expert, which is something I never imagined I would do, but I really like it. I was never good at English when I was younger, so it's weird that I ended up working in job which requires very high-level language skills. I like living here but I feel like I'd also like to travel and experience living in other places, so I'm thinking about moving to Canada or Australia in the next year or so.

My name is Neha Noor. I am basically from Aligarh, but I have been living here for several years. I am working as a tutor which is something related to my future goals as I want to become a professor. Apart from this I am working for a company as a sales executive which is not related to goal, but it helps me financially to pay my college fee and manage my personal expenses. I was never good at english when I was young, but after joining the FEA, situation changed completely. I am hoping you will offer me a place to work here as a facilitator, and I am fascinating to start my career with this organization.
It's a great effort to guide people.🥺✨
