[박세람]

Hi, my name is 박세람, and my English name is Dora-nickname of Dorothea.

I was born in February 2nd, 1989 in Seoul. I have studied English since I was 3 or 4 years old. I learned English from British brothers whose father is a friend of my dad's. As I learned British English when young and learned American English later in school, my intonation and pronunciation is a little bit diffrent from others.

When I was 4 years old, I liked to make use of new expressions from 눈높이 영어 book. And one day for the first time in my life, I succeeded in speaking to a foreign person. As soon as I saw him, I was so inclined to make English conversations with him.  Without notice I shouted at him,

"How are you!"

then the foreign man who must have thought this 4-year-old little Korean girl mimicking English greetings very cute answered gently,

"I'm Fine, thank you. And you?"

I still remember the strong emotion I felt at that time. I get goose bumps when I look upon this memory-his eyes were filled with kindness and his voice was affective and sweet. Excited little girl shrieked at him again,

"I'm fine too! Have a nice day!"

Nice foreign gentleman smiled and started his own way again waving his hand.

Actually he was across the street. I had no other way but to cry out with all my might to speak to a man over a 2-lane road.

From this experience, I became very positive and active in studying English. I never missed a chance of a talk with a native speaker and murmured useful idioms gazing myself in a toilet mirror.

 As a student I was eager to practice English in various ways-watching movies with no Korean titles, reading world best literatures in English, and hearing pop music with lyrics.

But after I entered this university, I neglected English. Now I have a stiff tongue, blurry eyes, and deafened ears. When I try to make an English sentence the words I'm trying to say is on the tip of my tongue, but never can utter them fluently. I cannot read English as fast as before, and cannot hear English as well as before.

I realize that now is the time to live an english lover's life again. I will work hard to make my dreams come true, and advance farther in English  with professor and classmates.
