Did you learn anything in English?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Absolutely. I know I have tons of typos all over ask-public, but I really can write a decent sentence. I know that the hiding place is somewhere between Jane and me, because I learned some grammar in school. A lot of people are walking around saying between Jane and I in that sentence. In my last three years of high school each semester of English was different. One was focused on writing. Another literature. Another in giving your reports in an oral speech format. I don’t remember all the others. I think it was a good way to do it. I don’t know if they still do it that way. Reading and English were some of my least favorite classes when I was young, because I hated reading. Later when the classes moved away from such an emphasis on reading I enjoyed it more and learned much more. I worked as an Executive Assistant to a VP of Communications in a very large multinational company for a while. I think my English classes helped with that. Another great help was I grew up in a family with strong language skills. When I worked in retail I put together reports that definitely used my skills at organizing information in an outline format. Most of which I learned in secondary school.
