So to become a good engineer I had to learn good English. For improving my language my teacher told me to enrich my vocabulary as it is one of the key to learn English easily. My English teacher also advised me to write a few lines in English about myself and what I did all day. He also told me to make a personal diary and write my hobby, passion, aim etc in that diary in English. I followed everything he told me to do.it was not easy to memorize vocabulary .but I tried my best .I learnt about 10-15 words every day. Slowly I saw my English was getting better. I was able understand simple and complex English. My fluency in English was getting better I could talk in English without hesitation. It was like the table was turned in favor of me. My motivation for becoming an engineer was the thing that worked as locomotive for me in learning English. My English teacher is a person to whom I am very much grateful for helping me in my difficult times. He gave me his valuable time and helped me to overcome any obstacle that came in my way.

Nothing in this world is easy .Everything that is valuable we have to strive for it. Today I am proud that I tried my best in learning English and it has given me a good grip over English. I have not stopped learning English. I am still learning to have more proficiency in English. Yes it is true once I did bad in English exam. But I always take that as a gift from my creator.
