English

I think that people are taking 'learning English' too big a deal.
for me, English is a tool through which I can learn more from the world.

I'm abt to subscribe TIME. last year I chose newsweek as advanced learning material.
this year, I choose TIME. no special reason.
yeah, we'll see which better meets up my needs.

determined to carve a satisfactory future, I will do as much as I can to improve my English.
it definitely provides me with abundant opportunities as life goes on.

Also, I'll continue on listening to cbn news, watching Joel Osteen video podcasts, and other podcasts or videos I'm interested in.

these are how I cope with English.

ME

my english name is Keira.
I took this name from big star Keira Knightly.
I favour her English accent!
She starred in "Pride and Prejudice," which is fantastic!
the background music eased me and I started feeling the peace arising on the inside.
=)
Also, I took "Emmanuel" from the Bible.
The origin of the name dates back to the old Testament, which means "God with us."
actually, it is a popular name among male Christians.
But, it is no big deal as my German teacher told that some of his friends are called Emmanuella.
an extra la can change a lot

oks
I've been to Chicago, Finland, Russia, England and Germany.
My goal is to know more abt the world since I'm part of the global village!

from 12 to 17, I majored in the cello in the music class. I also play the piano.
when I was abt to take the entrance exam,
I asked myself, is it what I truly want to do the rest of my life?
is it what my passion for?
the answer is no.
I realized that I actullay have choices whether to continue majoring in music.
am I prepared to make a difference in my life?
yes.
Im tired of not being able to strive for myself.
and here I am, at the department of Economics.
wandered, wondered, uncertain, but determined to live a life of meaning.
