As a Filipino citizen, it is not real shame for us not to be able to be fluent in speaking and even writing in foreign languages like English. But the fact that it is required in some learning areas in school to speak and write English forces some of us to make effort in studying the language. We somehow succeed in learning to speak the English language but we never figured it out how to write essays and other compositions without making the proofreaders laugh because of our grammatical errors.
