2020 New Start: Learning English

Happy new year and happy new semester!

This will be my last year as a student. I really treasure the time as a student, especially a CMU student, because there are still a lot of courses I love but not get the opportunity to take. However, the tuition here is also extremely thrilling and I wish I can start to work as early as possible to live on my own.

In five months, I will begin to work as a Software Engineer in a start-up of autonomous driving. I am quite nervous not because of my technical skills but my English and communication. Thus, I decide to spend some time learning English by writing and speaking(output) inspired by the following YouTube video. So, I’m going to write about my life, my trip and my readings in my blogs. As for speaking, em… I don’t know. Because I’m not good at talking even using Chinese, which is my first language. But I’m trying, by calling customer services, talking with people of my leasing office, etc.

Also, I’m going to review what I learned in the past two years at CMU and try to write some summary. I always complained that I had quite a bad memory. However, I just realize that it’s because I don’t output what I learned that I always forget the knowledge so soon.

Hope to see my next blog soon~
