About Vincent's English World

Hi! This blog is specially made to share everything I know on English learning. I think SPM candidates, who are sitting for English 1119, may find this blog helpful.

I used to be a part-time Year Six English teacher and SPM English tutor. From the experience, I noticed that most of the students had a poor command of English. When I was teaching the Year Six kids, I found that the students had a poor grasp of English grammar and they could not even make a correct sentence on Present Tense though they claimed that they have learnt that before. As for the SPM students, surprisingly, they could not even truly understand the usages of Present Simple, which is the basic and the fundamental element to make a sentence! Yet, they had to write a 350-word essay!

Hence, this blog is made to share what I do to improve my English even though there is still room for improvement. Actually, I am an undergraduate studying Polymer Engineering, and my mother tongue is Chinese, but I am badly keen on this language as I find this language beautiful, interesting and useful.

I will try to share some grammar rules and tips on writing skills on the coming blogs. Feedbacks or comments are welcomed, because I strongly believe, "sharing is learning".

Stay tuned to the next blog. ^^
