My English

Do you think I have good English? If you answered “yes” then I’ll say “no”. My English is not good instead it’s deteriorating.

Why?

I do no know why. Maybe it is because I speak Bahasa Melayu to much in school but now I have found a way to improve my English.

How?

Through blogging. When you blog, you tend to be careful of what you write so less mistakes will come out and you will be able you widen your vocabulary when read other bloggers’ blog. =)
