English language challenges

Hi mates, today I write about my English class at the university. First of all, when I start the career I pass directly to third level of the four that exist in english in my faculty. In this level we should know write this blogs quickly. But, it was so difficult for me. I was not fast and the vocabulary that I was handling at that time was insufficient. So, I used excessively the translator. Today I could write without looking for every word, but I like learn or remember some expressions so I complement the job with the translator. So, I feel that it has been a good methodology to learn english even in a self-taught way.

On the other hand, I am pleased with the oral practices, because I learn new vocabulary with the talks in pair. I discover in that occasions some difficulties in grammar for me so I need review some modal verbs and auxiliaries. But in general I can understand the ideas and explain my thoughts.

Maybe, if I would use my english out of class, probably I would know more vocabulary today, but in fact I don´t practice, hardly ever I try to learn text in english. And it is because I have problems to the vocabulary specific and some times even with the daily vocabulary. So, I will try this summer, when I have a lot of time, include more vocabulary practices.

If you know any article or text in english about nutrition or some interesting concept, do you write in comments? thanks in advance :)
