Hi everyone ! Here it's my english class final production. Could you give me some corrections and feedbacks ? :)

During this semester, our main objectives in English was to improve both our oral skills, including comprehension and expression, and reading speed to help us for our internship by acquiring specialized vocabulary in science and ethology more precisely.

                To enhance our oral skills, we decided to try to speak with some English native speakers, which is, in our opinion, the best way to improve ourselves. That is how, after few researches on internet, we discovered a web site that links people who both speak several languages and want to learn other languages. For example, thanks to this website we discovered Megan, a 26 year-old girl living in the US who began learning French a few months ago, but have struggled with the verbal aspect and she was too embarrassed to speak in class. So we organized videoconferencing between the three of us, sometimes in French to help her, other times in English for us. We have been experiencing some difficulties with the oral comprehension at the beginning. For example, sometimes our pronunciation wasn’t good for some words (beer/bear). But to palliate this difficulty, with Skype we could write and send messages while we are speaking, so we could write the words that we experience difficulties to pronounce or understand when Megan was speaking to us. Another difficulty is that sometimes it was hard to find time to speak with the time difference, so we had to coincide our schedule and arrange appointments in advance.

                To enhance our reading speed and acquire vocabulary in science and ethology we have read a lot of English scientific publication, such as the study of “variation in visitor perceptions of a polar bear enclosure based on the presence of natural vs un-natural enrichment items” written by D. Kutska.

                In conclusion, we felt that our personal English project really help us to improve our skills because during the semester we could have thorough conversations with people, we use less often the writing option on Skype or an online dictionary and now we read English publications much more quickly and we increased our vocabulary. If we had to redo this project, we believe that we wouldn’t change anything, and we will certainly continue to speak with foreign people and read articles because it was highly rewarding to us.
