Art's Academic Interests

Throughout my life, I've been interested in the language -- particularly English language. Ever since I was in kindergarten, I've indulged myself into practice of English. Everyday at school back then, whenever I had English classes, I was happy to learn it without second thought -- unlike mathematics or sciences classes.  My fondness of English has grown throughout years of school. During grade 11, I chose to go for a high school exchange student program in the United States. I went to a very small town in Arkansas with a population of less than 1,000 people. Having stayed there for a year surrounded by my host family and friends who are native Americans, it has developed my language skill to the point that now I have no fear to speak English and know how to improve my skill further. Language is like other skills. You can't stop using it, otherwise you'd lose it soon enough. Imagine that you're a English speaker but you're normally surrounded by Thai people who don't know a thing about English, what would the result be? Of course, you'll gradually lose it.

    I think It is very interesting academic interest which can help develop your skill in life and also in study. Lucky for you to have this interest
    Moreover, you are a good planner in pursuing your interest. I think staying with the native speaker and being in their atmosphere make you more easy to pass the language line.

      Yes, that's exactly my first thought to stay with host family. But Also I chose to stay with them because I'm pretty sure I'll have some activities to do with my free time while not studying lol And the fact that I'm going to study in the states only for one year makes me have to plan every single thing carefully. Thanks again and hope you will enjoy your time there as well.
