The English language has taken over the centuries to see words brought into the language, being replaced, or altered, and finally become obsolete. This is apart of the consequences in order to modify it for society's needs in this age of high technology and communication. One of my strength in empowering the English language proficiency is through reading. I have learned and practiced reading skills such as scanning and skimming. I also keen to explore new English words which I never heard before or not understand by referring to dictionary and fully utilized the Internet by searching from online dictionary which is more convenient. In terms of listening, I can understand the English language and can detect

whether the pronunciation is correct or not. Besides that, I love to watch English movie or English television channel and listen to English songs as well. On the other hand, there are some weaknesses that might occur in my learning process. For instance, I can speak English, but not so fluent. I also lack of confidence when talking to others in English. Sometimes, it will lead to low self-esteem. In terms of writing, I am not very good in grammar and lack of vocabulary. However, this is not the end since I am willing to improve my English proficiency from time to time. There are few ways to overcome this matter. First of all, in terms of speaking skill, I have to talk in fully English language with my family and friends. Besides that, I can try to use singing method by choosing English songs each time I go to karaoke. I am also planning to watch English movie without depending on the subtitle. The most effective way is by joining the social networking and find friends or pen pal from other countries who use English language as their second language. In order to build up my confidence level and polish my conversation skills, I have to practice a lot in front of the mirror or my family. In addition, to have a better writing skill, I have to prepare myself by reading English books, magazines or newspapers to explore the new vocabulary. One of the best sources is by reading the Readers Digest which has been guaranteed with full of information and news. Next, I must always refer to dictionary to enhance my knowledge. Pocket dictionary will be suitable when travelling or I can just refer to online dictionary. In fact, I have few experiences in English language contest, such as involved in choral speaking for English night. I also took part in the English forum in classroom regarding the environment issue. In addition, I was one of the debaters in my classroom, debating any issues in English language for English subject. Last but not least, I represented my class in English drama.

My sincere hope is to be proficient in English language since it is not only our second language, but it is very demanding nowadays that we need somebody who can speak English fluently to be hired in the working industry.
