Essay 1:
"My Difficulties in Learning English
Studying a foreign language is a difficult thing. Not everyone can be successful in studying a foreign language, for example in learning English. An English learner will encounter so many difficulties, like what happened in me. As an English learner, I have found so many difficulties in reading, listening, especially in speaking.
My main problem when I study English is when I must speak up. Cause of English is my second language, so I don’t have enough time and partner to practice my English speaking skill. I’m also still too shy to speak with someone else but I will not give up. To develop my potency in English, I’m still studying steadily.
Another difficulty that I found in learning English is in listening. When we are listening to someone who speaks, we need a special skill. And when we are not usually to listen to someone who speaks in English, we cannot develop or our listening skill. My problem in listening is not really different with my problem in speaking. I don’t have enough practice to do it.
My last problem in learning English is in reading lesson. I’m really keen on reading, but reading in bahasa Indonesia with in English is completely different. I never understand an English text when I just read it once. It is caused by the new vocabularies or new words that I always find in an English text. To enrich my vocabulary, I need my dictionary with me when I’m reading. My dictionary always help me in looking up the meaning of the new word that I find in an English text.
Essay 2:
”Beginners of foreign language always meet difficulties from the outset. For me, I had to overcome these problems when I started learning English.
English pronunciation is my first obstacle. The pronunciation in English puzzles me a lot because the same letter has different sounds. For example the letter “a” in “bath” is not pronounced in the same way of that in “bathe”. The “ou” in “South” is also different from “ou” in “Southern”. Generally verbs and nouns are pronounced differently although they are written the same. Record is a good example to illustrate it.
In order to solve this puzzling question I carefully study The A.P.A (The International Phonetic Alphabets) which helps me pronounce English words correctly.
In order to have an accent just like the native speakers, I often listen to tapes and repeat after them, trying to imitate them. Moreover, my everyday conversation with the foreigners I meet in the street will enable me to acquire a proper accent.
Compared with French, English grammar is much easier. However, this does not mean that learners meet no difficulties in learning it. It took me a long time to learn how to master the tenses in English grammar, to endeavor to do as many grammar exercises as possible and read various grammar books.
In writing English, English language has its own style. In order to drill writing skills, I have tried to read famous novels of distinguished America and English writers. I enjoy the humorous style of writing in Mark Twain’s masterpieces, the elaborate and polished style of George Eliot and the sentimental and lyrical style of John Keats.
After long and hard years of English study, how pleased I feel when I am able to read English and American authors without any obstacles and difficulties at all"
