I had been in New Zealand for three years and I went to an international college. The reason why I chose the school was it was well known and had high school ranking in New Zealand. But I found that it was too hard to study English in international college while I could study other subjects in better situation and teachers. And then I decided to study in USA and I still find that it is really hard to improve English. When I was in my hometown which is South Korea, English was my favorite subject. There was absolutely no requirement about speaking or writing when I went to school in Korea. Therefore I had thought I was good at English and I had no problem, but since I have studied in New Zealand and USA, I realize that it was nothing.
Considering my past experiences, my goals for this ESL 210 course are improving English which I can use in my university life; I mean “real life” and get more confidence as well. In addition, I hope that I could communicate and share ideas with other classmates from other countries and have different cultures. I have heard that this course will require lots of writings and readings, and I did not have many opportunities to write and read in English before, so I think this course would helpful and I hope so.

I agree with you. When you were in your country you were good in your english so as mine. I also was really good in my english knowledge while I was schooling but I always knew that I am not fluent in my english.
In this class we will get a really nice time to share and develop our english skills and also this would be a great opportunity for us to share our various cultural and personal experiences with confidence. As we all mostly have similar expectations on this class I hope that we all would be able to achieve the targets we have in person.
