In my school days, my result for my English subject have always been last in my class. Resulting a drop in interest in the subject. My result for my O's Level allows me to go to a neighbor Junior College. However I have chose to go to a Polytechnic thinking that i will never take any English subject anymore.
Thinking that English wasn't that important, I did not put in much effort in studying it. Everything changes after i got a placing in National University of Singapore. During my National Service I would read newspapers or magazine whenever I am free. Getting a band 2 for my QET is kind of a bitter sweet, knowing that it will be another chance for me to improve my English, hoping that i can finally speak and read proper English.
Reflective of what needs to be expressed. However, still need to work on grammar eg "I have chose to go to a Polytechnic"; can be rewritten as "I chose to go.."

3. After a number of grammar lessons, can you now spot the error in this sentence?
Born and raise in a chinese speaking family.
4. Plural nouns?
-In my school days, my result for my English subject
-Unlike other's parents,
5. Vocabulary: Can you think of another word for 'contact'? We don't normally describe 'not using a language' = 'contact'.
as such i did not get a lot of contact with this language
7. Is the transition 'however' used appropriately in this paragraph?
