English |
I have learned English completely by my own without attending a single class. I began to learn English in 1982 just a year before graduation. It was the fourth foreign language after Russian, German and French. Only half year later I was able to take English entry exam for postgraduate studies, and was able to read and understand English without much difficulty. I have learned it by many ways – reading a lot, listening a lot (at that time mainly the VOA and BBC radios now rarely able to be received via radios), and practiced a lot. After school English was very much my second language at works, as my first job was dealing with import of US power generation equipment technologies at the Ministry of Machinery Industry in Beijing. And later I was able to show my excellent English levels to many people in the multinational companies where I used to work. English is now almost my working language, as I mostly read English everyday, much more than my native language of Chinese. I have about 30,000 words in mind and can write English with prior preparation of Chinese. That is to say, I think in English too. Many dreams are made in English as well – I often talk in English with people in my dreams. Many times it’s more comfortable to communicate and write English than my native language.
