10/24 CLASS Comment on Grammar monster

I have seen advertisement of Grammarly on youtube before, but i have never used it before.

Today, I browsed it for a while, i think it would be a nice tool to correct my essays in the future. However it is not all for free.

I tried another website called  Grammar monster , i tried the easily confused word test
I found it pretty interesting, because those are the words which i am actually very confused of.
For instance : Principal and principle. I have been confused for 19 years of my life, now still. After the test, still. I hope i can remember the difference after doing more of the tests.
What's more, i also checked on some easily confused Plurals, and i didnt really know some of them, so i find this website pretty useful.

Self Introduction

Hello, I'm Kelly from Taiwan!
I am currently an junior English major student in SooChow University.
I am really interested in language learning, therefore I am also double majoring in German.
I enjoy watching Korean drama, and the Korean culture, so I started to learn Korean last winter.
It is my dream to travel around the world, and I know it's a dream of many people but hard to achieve. However, i wish to acquire a lot of different languages so that it will be a really useful tool of me to pursue my dream.

Being an interpreter is one of my goal as a student in the English department, i wish to be come a English-Chines-Korean Interpreter in the future. It takes a lot of effort to make this come true, and I will strive for it. Even if I failed, I know I will still learn much from it.

I enjoy travelling, therefore the other dream of mine is to become a tour guide. In this way, I can travel to different places and know people coming from different places.

Learning language is definitely a Must-do for me to achieve these dream. And the other reason that wish to learn language is to introduce Taiwan to the world. So...I will work hard on it!
