What is your biggest weakness (in general, not necessarily English or class specific) and what do you do to work on it?

“Okay. I admit it. ” are maybe the two hardest words to say in world.

One, because especially because saying yes to the something, the something you don’t really want to admit about. Whether it is your grades or your relationship, or your self esteem. Come on gals and guys. It is the true. It is SO EASY to say “OKAY. I ADMIT IT!!!” (yeah, I totally admit this is a joke.)

Two, we humans don’t like to admit stuff.

Well, off the fun… and lets talk more about me. My biggest weakness, I say it all the time, is word choice. I personally say they are the most painful irritating things in the world (to me). Not regarding the fact that they are apparently the one that needs to use your head around for 99% of the time, but also one of the things you need repetitive training on. AKA a lot and a lot of writing practices in order to achieve a 5 out of 5 credit in word choice.

But what I also do admit, is the lack of effort that I have put in writing. I don’t really write. I do read a lot of books in Korean. Well, I say reading books in English test and Korean text are different. Especially when it comes to word choices. Korean, has a tendency to have words and metaphors for everything. Some of the words don’t exist in English. I say, Korean has more “color” in words. It’s something like Chinese. But what I meant to say is that, because of my reading habit (reading in Korean), I have less chance to learn sentence patterns or words naturally through reading. So, I will improve and somehow make myself interested in English literature and will, hopefully, make myself write more to improve in the HUGE field of writing.
