MY FIRST SEMESTER IN COLLEGE WAS A FRUITFUL EXPERIENCE. THE college not only provided academic study for ME, but also INSPIRED [OR EXPANDED] my thinking potential. THE COLLEGE is equipped with (REMOVE "THE") state-of-art teaching EQUIPMENTS and learning facilities that offer STUDENTS a vigorous LEARNING environment.

In my first semester, the college provided academic studies for us, and also inspires my thinking potential as well. It is equipped with the state-of-art teaching and learning facilities that offer student a vigorous environment. The teachers who are like our friends always interact with the students. Nevertheless, secondary school has many regulations that makes me feel so rigid.
Initially, when I did the English project, I was so confused and perplexed at the project. Many problems arose while doing our project. I learnt how to solve problems, compensated the shortage, and exchanged ideas with each others in our project.

We wanted to create and sell product in the project. We suggested various ideas, but all of the ideas were banned by the lecturer. We started to feel depressed. However, the lecturer taught me some skills which included doing researches and interview for the students. We got many different opinions from our schoolmates which are very useful for our project.


In addition, when we select the alternative of inventions in our discussion, we defined four criteria which are budget, creativity, practicability, environmentally friendly respectively. These criteria are used to evaluate the alternatives. We were following this direction to be successful.
Moreover, compensate the shortage and exchange ideas with the others are very important. Different members have different skills, so we want to know the strength, weakness of each individual and distributed the workload to everyone in the team. In discussion, we argued over some different points of works, but we will interact with each other and brainstorm some ideas with them.
Finally, although the process is hard, our friendship got better and closer. I will recall all skills which are taught by the lecturer and tried my best to accomplish all the projects. I will read more resources to improve my English further. I determine to promote my English until I can speak fluent English!
