My Favourite Subject Is..... ENGLISH! XD

The tittle said it all. Yup, I love English. Ever since I was little, my parents had encouraged me to read English books. At first, I was reluctant. Like most children would, but then it spark an interest in me. That was stage one. The second stage was speaking English. Back when I was six years old, it was a firm law that everyone had to speak English at home. If I didn't I would earn a free pinched on the arm. Ah, good times. As time flows on like a never ending river, my English slowly developed into something more mature. I was interested in William Shakespeare's works in the age of twelve. It was then when reading is my passion. When I read a book, I engrossed myself in its world. I suddenly became the main character. I feel thrill that I was in a different world. Even if it is a man-made.

English had a lot to offer. Especially, in the art of literature. I love reading classic literature like The Phantom Of The Opera, Romeo And Juliet, Hamlet Prince Of Denmark, Wuthering Height, Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, Othello, Macbeth and so on. By reading, my writing skills become more smooth and mature. Sure, there would always be silly mistakes but that just proves that I'm human. I'm not perfect and tends to make mistake. Writing essays, letters or summary is never a problem for me. Only my current problem now is writing essay within the word limits. Once you have an idea to write something, it won't stop exploding in your head until you had run out of ink. Here's a tip to spice up your essay: read the dictionary. New and bombastic words tend to impress your English teacher when they read your essays. Believe me, it works.

English plays an important role to the community. The international language is English so better start brushing up on your English if you are planning to go on a holiday somewhere in Europe. In this age of modern and technology, everything is in English. The top universities in the and colleges in the world demand your excellence in English. Some people said that English is difficult but to me, if you want to ace in English the first step is to READ! Honestly, reading will improve your English by ten fold. All you need is time and patient. If your interest in English is deeper like me, you can start learning the old and classical English that William Shakespeare wrote in his stories. I admit, it will be confusing at first but if you kept working on it, it wouldn't even confound you anymore and you will soon enjoy it.

If you have master English and love to read, your imagination widen and I wouldn't be surprised if you woke up at three in the morning suddenly have the urges to write your very own story. Great authors start off by reading books and soon developed an inspiration to create their very own book. Example of great authors are J.K Rowling who wrote the Harry Potter series, Stephenie Meyer who wrote the Twilight series and Dan Brown who wrote the Da Vinci Code.
