(PART 2)
Before I started learning at LUK, my English skills were quite limited. I struggled to
communicate my thoughts and ideas effectively, and understanding English
conversations or texts was a challenge. I often felt unsure and lacked confidence when
speaking or writing in English.
However, since joining LUK, my English has improved significantly. I can now express
myself more confidently and clearly. In addition to English, I have also developed 21st
century skills through my journey at LUK. Teamwork is one of the skills I have enhanced. I
Part 1 have learned how to work together with my peers, listen to their ideas, and contribute
my own thoughts to achieve common goals.
Critical thinking is another skill that has seen improvement. I have learned how to
analyze information, evaluate different perspectives, and make well-informed decisions.
The growth mindset is something I have embraced. I now believe that my abilities can be
developed through dedication and hard work. I am more willing to take on challenges,
learn from my mistakes, and strive for improvement.

First day at LUK: On my first day at LUK, I was shy and struggled to communicate in
English. The challenge was overcoming my fear of speaking and interacting with others.
To practice, I started by engaging in simple conversations with fellow students and
gradually built my confidence. LUK helped me learn professional language skills and
phonics, which improved my ability to speak fluently and pronounce words correctly.
Level 1: At Level 1, the challenge was to become more professional in my conversations. I
practiced by participating in group discussions and role-playing scenarios. LUK provided
feedback and guidance to help me improve my communication skills. Through consistent
practice, I became more comfortable expressing myself and engaging in meaningful
conversations.
Level 2: In Level 2, the focus was on staying updated with world news and enhancing

public speaking skills. The challenge was to stay informed and effectively present my
ideas. I practiced by reading news articles, watching videos, and participating in class
presentations. LUK encouraged me to express my opinions and provided valuable
feedback to refine my public speaking abilities.
Levels 3 & 4: In these levels, the challenge was to develop a growth mindset and engage
in debates. I practiced by researching various topics, preparing arguments, and actively
participating in debates with classmates. LUK taught me to embrace challenges, view
failures as learning opportunities, and persevere in the face of difficulties. This helped me
improve my critical thinking, persuasive skills, and ability to consider different
perspectives.
