There are 17 students in our class. 3 of them have Chinese as a first language, 2 students have Korean as a mother language, 1 - Japanese, 1 - Romanian, 1 - Russian, 1 - French, 1 - Ukrainian, 1 - Dari, 1 - Urdu, 1 - FARSI, 1 - Arabic, 1 - Amharic, 1 - Thai. For the most people of our class the second language is English, but one student has the Russian and another one has the Kikongo as a second language.
Our classmates have studied English for a different length of time - from some years to 6 month. The big number of students (9) have learnt English more than 2 years and only 3 people have spend less then 2 years learning English.
Students of our class have studied English different ways. The most popular way of learning English is informal study. Students have being living in New Zealand and work here for some years. 4 classmates began to learn English from 9 to 6 month ago. The plans are also different. 11 students are going to continue their study at Unitec or University. The other reason of learning English is improving their skills. 2 people have weakness in speaking English, 2 - in listening, 2 - in vocabulary. The most people in our group are not good at writing. 3 of us have strengths in speaking, 1 - in grammar, 2 - in writing. Nobody has confessed that listening is his(her) strength.
