What is this??


Today, my first class of Upper intermediate A was started. 
Our class teacher for this session is nick again, but I don't know any student in the class. I think Kyung hee, who is one of student in my previous class, might registered for this class but she was absent today. 

Anyways-
I decided to review and summarise what I've learnt from my English class on my blog here from today!

This is a first step of it. 
I will try to review all that I've learnt every time after the class, 
and I will aslo try to keep an English diary on this blog as frequently as possible(AFAP). 
Though I don't have a private teacher to point out some errors on my English writing, I will keep going- ^^
