Thoughts on a journey of learning foreign languages

If this writing comes out, this is going to be the first in a long time.

Although I don't genuinely buy the idea of new year plans and determination, this will be definitely helpful in order to be figure out what I've done and learn something from my experience and aim high. 

I could say that I've been working hard on English. I've read some books in English that I was really into and I, more importantly, threw myself into on my own, which never used to be a thing in my entire life.

I started to be so craving for knowledge and broadening my horizons in the last year. Eventually, it has turned out to pay off because I recently sit IELTS exam and received quite a good and solid band score that is 7. This means I'm a good user of English and my English level is considered to be advanced level. 

If I deep down into the score I've got a little bit further, the exam consists of four different subsections (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking), my score for each is 7, 8, 6.5 and 7 respectively. I knew that the hardest part was the writing section so I had been literally only focused on this on weekdays before the exam. It is quite painful that I got 6.5 on the writing because I thought I was going to get a score higher than 7. 

I could enumerate all of the excuses that I can make for this score like 'I should've done error correction services from native speakers or I should've taken up some lessons for writing skills to get a higher score'. The thing is the score I got is the consequence of what I decided to do. This is why this event makes me keep up improving my English, especially writing, rather than complain and regret because this was my idea. I just gave a best shot as possible as I could by myself and got the result and then this lets me keep going on to the next level. 

If I make what I've learned as simple as possible, this will be,,

Hard working never betrays me unless I stop

Make it sure to intensely face all consequences of my genuine decisions 

LEARN FROM IT

Also, other scores in the exam tell that I've built the solid and fundamental factors for using good English, which brings me to the second thing I'd like to record in this writing.

The goal that I set myself in the last year was to achieve C1 level in English. I made it.

The goal that I set myself in this year 2019 is to achieve B2 level in German. I will definitely make it.

The reason I can assure this is because I've learned consistency makes results much better by myself. 

It might seem as though I'm showing off or I'm just going on about the fact which doesn't need to be more mentioned.  

NO. NEVER. because I had never realised consistency is the part and parcel of learning language until 'I' as a being did and saw.
