The Past Of My English.........

English has secured its stand as one of the worlds leading lingua franca and is still growing rapidly in untainted regions of the world. It is the basic language used to communicate and converse between fellow men from all over the world. It is the main language used in almost more than 60% of the world at present. The only languages that compete to it being Arabic, French, Japanese and Spanish.
I was born in nigeria and lived there for ome part of my childhood. But during my early days, my family and i were sent to South Africa due to my fathers job assingment. I had a very good establishment in my english language and had always to manage to get exceptional scores in the course. I stayed in South Africa for about 6 years before we were finally posted back to Nigeria. Upon arrival to Nigeria, I was enrolled into a private school were i gained further skills in english language and vocal studies.
After the succesful completion of my primary education, I was once again enrolled into another private school were we took a more andvanced form of the english we were originally learning. In addition, we were also infused with two additional form of english know as Oral
english; which dealt with how to anunciate common words and sentences, and the other bieng English literature; which brought our focus onto poems, novels and other forms of english literature.
During my tenure in High school, I grew the habit of constantly reading fictional novels and watching well-toned english series and movies with more refined english. I also got intothe habit of writing poems and literature for my self; non of which have been complete till date unfortunatley :)
Finally, I spent two semesters in The University of Nottingham, Malaysia were I undertook english english for another grueling yet educational year. The english taugght there was basically what i have encountered before but some additions were made such as the use and application of questionnaires and proper report writing. These where very fundamental for the engineering course i was undergoing at that time.
Other things that further influenced my grammer were things such as speeches and debates. I also enjoy learning new words that i can use in everyday grammer. The telelvision programs and movies I watch aided in the english.
