Hi Sue
Dear friend, thank you very much for your pluperfect and complete explaining about difference of improve and progress. We read it in our class last Friday and I understood it.
Dear Sue, you asked me "Why are you studying English?"
Nearly 1 year, I went to English classes in different institutes. When I was going to those classes, I didn't like English and I wanted to learn English because good books and articles in my field are English and I must learn English for reading them. Those classes were crowd and boring, and just I was going to the classes for my requirement.
But, since I came to Mr. T's classes and I became member Mr. T and your weblog, I was interested in English and extended my mind and I understood English is very attractive. Now, I study English for itself and also I like to speak English as well as an American in the future. (It is one of my wishes and I hope that you help me until getting to my wish.)
When I was going to institute classes, I didn't read English during weak.
But now, I connect to your site several times at during weak and read its subjects. I am very happy for this my improvement.
But, I don't want to say that all institutes are bad. Some institutes work well but I don't like them.
Your friend, Fattemeh.
