Here comes a time when my friend who is an English major corrects my English grammar. Every time I utter a word she is always there to correct my errors. Later, I find that I lose confidence in communicating other people especially when she is present, or even she's with me. I am afraid to talk every time my friend or my close friends ask me. I feel I am not knowledgeable enough to play the command of the language. I feel really bad that I am not!
In some instances, I feel that I am challenged. I am challenged by the fact that I wanna talk to her. But, before that, I should practice speaking at home or even inside my room. Moreover, I do have intensive self-study, and I realize that I improve myself a little bit. Now, I gain confidence. I develop it since the beginning of my enthusiasm to go deeper into the world of English because I know without it I can never fulfill my dreams--dreams that can open a wider horizon to self-fulfillment. And yes, I have started opening that horizon! Yet, I reach to the point where I can talk or speak in front of the public, of my teacher, or even in front of the person who keeps on correcting me. On the other hand, I discover, after thorough study in English grammar, that my friend--the English major does commit also mistakes. I have just wondered. I freeze in a moment. Then, I realize all people are subject to imperfection because all living things can never be perfect, but all must study and learn. I am not also saying that I flaunt for this but one must not correct bluntly for all are not good enough.
Though I am not really good in writing and not able to perfect my English, I still believe that there is no such perfect English. With this I am aiming that I can repair and reconstruct good English sentences, so other people can understand me -- that is the purpose of writing good English. But I am not saying that understanding oneself demands perfections in English. What I wanna say is that, as long as I can be understood by the others, I write the good English, if not the Perfect English.
