Reflection
Studying these vocabulary words if you want me to be sincerely it doesn’t really have a big impact on me. It doesn’t have an impact because I still don’t hear people mention some of the words that are in the Vocabulary list. Since I don’t know how to pronounce some of the words I don’t use them and some that I can I use them once in a while. I don’t really use them because I am kind of afraid people would laugh the way I pronounce them. I don’t really find myself using these words because like I said before some are hard for me. Also the fact that I am a shy person I just speak with small sentences to not talk too much. Of course I would like to use these types of words but it is too hard especially because I am more use of speaking Spanish rather than English. You may ask why this has been the biggest problem of my life handling the English so I don’t really speak it. I was born here but raise in Mexico so most of the time I speak pure Spanish. I only speak English when I am in school and if I talk to people in class and they are Mexicans I speak in Spanish with them most of the time. This doesn’t mean that I don’t want to speak English is just that I am used of speaking Spanish rather than English. I know that is not good because of that reason I have had many problems in school. For instance once in college I didn’t want to do my presentation because I was afraid of what people would say of how I speak my English so some other girl had to do it with me. I had a counselor that said I speak fine but I feel like I don’t so I refuse to speak it. I am also a person that forgets things really easily so I don’t think I will remember the words long-term after the test. I think the reason I don’t remember these words is because I am used to using words I already know and don’t use new ones.
