Eugene Yoon

My name is Eugene Yoon. I'm from South Korea. I was in Mr. Parsons class last year. I came to America five years ago. When I came here for first time, I couldn't speak English at all. However, since I stayed in here for almost five years, now English became less hard. Despite me staying in America for five years, there are so many things to study. Just like SAT vocabularies and college level grammar, there are so many things to study in so little time. When I first got here I couldn’t speak English at all. In that time, I thought in order to fix this problem; I started my personal project call ‘English All Day’ (speaking only English even to Korean (my native language) speaker). Although it was very hard to speak English only for my entire day, the result of this project was much more valuable than what I was expected. After few years from when I started this project, my English skill got much better. I could speak English without break or mistake and most of native English speakers could understand what I am saying. When I could speak English like native English speakers, I could learn new SAT vocabularies much faster. Also, as my pronunciation get better, my grammar skills got better automatically. Since I finished the Basic English skill, for this year, I want to be better English speaker than native, proving that foreigners can speak better English than native speakers. Also, in this winter, I am planning on taking SAT test and get higher grade than most of American people (over 2000). This year for me can be hardest year in high school since I have to get good grade and prepare for SAT and SAT2 tests, however, just like my first year in America, I am sure I can do well in this year.
