A: Are you done signing up for classes?
B: Yes and no.

A: Really? So, what did you do?
B: I put myself on the waiting list.


RESPONSE>> Talk about a difficulty you personally experienced while you were taking a class.

The biggest problem I've had in a class was with an English teacher I had when I was in college.

I took an elective to improve my English speaking skills with a native teacher.
* take an elective: 선택 과목을 이수하다
ex> I'm not taking any elective this semester.

But it almost did more harm than good.
ex> Excessive exercise may do more harm than good.

I couldn't understand most of what the teacher was saying because it was the first time I'd come across a foreign teacher.
ex> I've never come across such a big building.

His pronunciation was completely different from what I was used to.

It felt like I was taking one step forward and two steps back.

I thought of dropping the class, but I didn't.
* drop a class: 수업을 취소하다
ex> If you have too much on your plate, why don't you just drop one class?

I decided to stick with it.
* stick with: ~을 고수하다
ex> Why don't you stick with your original plan?

Eventually, my listening skills got better and I became more confident in English.
ex> It's more important to become more confident in English.
