To overcome your barrier



When I was in junior high school, I attended the English conversation course by school. I wanted to overcome the barrier of speaking English with foreigners which made me afraid before. That was why I must attend this course. On the other hand, I thought it was a good opportunity to help me practice conversation skills.

During the period, the teacher taught us how to use simple words and how to use the intonation to express own thoughts and ideas to people. At first, I was worried about talking with foreign teacher, cause I have no idea how to express my thoughts. However, she always told us “You have to believe you are as good as the teacher, and not to fear to say something wrong.” Gradually, I could understand what foreigners say, and made me get relaxed and easier to communicate with them. Besides, it also helps me overcomes my psychological barrier successfully, and I have more confidence.

Personal experience


There are many special, interesting, and humiliating experiences in our life. Those experiences played an important part. Now, I want to share about my special experience---wearing brace on my teeth.

It's said that one of the methods to make your teeth become neat is wearing braces on teeth. I had been wearing them for more than two years, and now my teeth become neat. Before I wore them, my teeth really look ugly. My mother said I don't like eating candies and chocolates when I was a child, and at that time I had neat teeth. After going to the kindergarten, teacher gave us candies and chocolates if we got good grades; therefore, I have been indulge in eating chocolates. Gradually, I got a bad habit of that I don't clean my teeth. Because of this, it makes my teeth random.

My mother suggests I go to wear braces on my teeth. However, I rejected her idea because I thought wearing it looks absurd when I was a child. Because of the reason, it was until four grades in the college that I was determined to wear it. One of my neighbor children wears braces on teeth, but they don't look like traditional teeth wrap, it's full of color. As to me, it very special, cause me not to be afraid of wearing it.

At first, I was nervous when I wore them, and before wearing I had to pull out three teeth, because my teeth are too crowded. In addition, I heard that there are a lot of limitations on food, and for the person who love eating it is very painful. When I just wore braces on my teeth, my mother said to me, “Oh, my dear. I want to cook your favorite food. But it's too bad, you can't eat it.”

My mother usually said it on purpose because she knew that I only could drink milk and juice. When she said that, I was mad. But after half month I can eat everything, except for few days after I go to have my teeth mended each month. It is a very special experience for me in my life.
