[MS17] Trần Minh Đức – CENSIP 6BF
"MY ENGLISH CENTRE"
HI GUYS!!!!!
My name is Tran Minh Duc, my friends usually call me ‘Gabe’, that’s the name I put for myself only. As Title, I wrote this article to tell you guys how I feel after almost 3 years school here. In general, over the past almost 3 years, perhaps Roadmap is my third house after my home and Marie Curie school. The reason that I have a affection for RoadMap is because this is where I go to learn English in the extra class first. Honestly, I came here because my mother forced me to go, I really don’t want to study here. But after studying here for a year, I feel like I had wasted a lots of time doing stupid things instead of doing homework, exercising or even learning English.
To be learned here, I have to pass a tess called test quality input. If your score is over 65, it means that you have enough points. At first I failed and do not have terms to study. I fell very shame and disgraceful. At that time, I told myself to study harder to get into this center. After 2 weeks practicing, I finally come back and I was passed. They let me in class 6D, the teacher I study with are Ms. Hoan and Ms. Nhung. When I came to the class, I feel very confident because I thought all the classmate are not nerdy, I. Contrary to my imagination, they are so clever and it made me so ‘SHOCK AND PUZZLED’. Still arrogant and don’t know which levels I am standing. As expected (from my parents even my brother and also teachers), my first final semester’s result is the worse. Again, it makes me fell very shame and disgraceful. After that, I had focused on learning vocabulary and grammar. But I still learning not in the right way. Until I met Ms. Huong who is a university of national economics lecturer. That’s when I switched to class 6B where she teaches in Roadmap. Not as expected, I’m still a student has the most poorly in the class.
All the bad results make me really don’t want to learn anymore. So I decide to play truant. My dad usually take me to every extra class and Roadmap is not exception. But I had been planning a plan for a week that my dad just let me down in the top land and then I walk in. I knew that my dad is easy-going and he also a punctual person. And I had succeed in treating him. On the other hand, I didn’t realize the out coming of this action. Instead of sitting in the classroom, I sit in a game shop. Another day hang out with friends. And of course, almost 8h, I walked back to the center and my father picked up as if nothing had happened (my dad still thought I just had finished class). For a month I kept truant from school, unfortunately the admin phoned my mother and asked why I did not go to school and if I studied again? When I heard my mother talk to them that I was still going to school normally, I felt like dying because you did not know how my mother got angry. I tried to lie but could not. But then I said I did not want to study at RoadMap because it was too boring for me. The teacher did not bring me good lessons, and then all the time complaining about me, all made me feel very upset. Then, my mother let me take a break from the roadmap for about a term. My mother found a lot of places for me to study but still did not, and she advised me to go back to Roadmap. At first I refused but in the end because of my future I went back. Luckily they let me in 6B which Ms. Huong (Elly) teaches. The reason that I love Huong is because she is always interested in each student, especially her ability to communicate to students is very easy to understand and all her skills to do well is very effective. with me. Sometimes good teachers have to go with teaching skills - ways to make them understandable. Perhaps when I realized that learning was more important than all, it was too late. I tried and worked hard, the results I gained in the semester 8 were beyond my imagination. My results helped me rank 4th in class. To get this result I tried a lot, thanks Roadmap where helped me more mature, help me to realize the benefits and value of learning.
In March 2016, I attended a contest called Roadmap's Got Talent. It was my first time participating in a talent contest. Surprisingly, I won the first prize and was praised by the judges at the same time. Actually I do not have confidence in myself. That day my dad went to see me and cheered me, he was the only one in my family who believed in me, believed in my ability to win. And the miracles came. I have shown my best on the stage and the result exceeded my expectations. Through this, I would like to thank Roadmap for hosting an interesting contest that brings a lot of interest and fun to practitioners, especially me.
Come back to study, only about six months I will graduate, finishing three years here. Actually, I have a lot of memories, lots of friends studying here. We did not go to the same school, but when we came to the classroom and have a chance to worked together again, with new people we might not understand each other.
For me now it is really hard to forget roadmap. Individual desks, pranksters, some of them are very studious (like me), have specialists to talk privately.
Generally for the past two years there have been many teachers that I love but now they have moved to work.
Already going, I hope you guys (6BF class) will remember me, who is the most handsome, generous, polite with the girls..... Also the teachers too, I will really miss you guys so much.
THANKS ROADMAP, THANKS FOR ALL!!!
