I am weak, I am strong, I want to be better.

In English, I think I still have some difficulties in writing. I want to avoid grammar and spelling mistakes. In general, I think I am quite fluent in speaking, but I learned by watching TV shows which don't use often high-level vocabulary. So, on that side, I think I should learn more vocabulary and avoid syntactical errors. In listening I am quite good. I got my ear used to English by watching TV, movies and music. Although, there is still work to do and I won't quit listening movies in English. I don't read a lot in English and my understanding of written works isn't always easy. I think I can improve this by reading more often and try to search for the words I don't get.

Vanessa Mercier

I got to know a very interesting person last Friday. Vanessa Mercier is an hedonist whose goal is to live and enjoy life. She doesn't have any financial aspirations, just to live as happy as possible. She has been living in an apartment since she was 14, which is pretty impressive. According to Vanessa, her appartment is beautiful and she is proud of it. She was the lead singer in a Romeo & Juliet musical which had a lot of success and was really appreciated by the audience. It was presented twice in her high school. She doesn't only sing, she dance and write as well. She is a ballet dancer and she writes short stories. Moreover, she won a prize for one of her short stories back in high school. As a litterature student, she is especially interested in French writings. She really likes to learn and even more to teach. She likes to transmit her knowledge and may be interested in a teaching career.
