Mike Curcio 9/14/10 English Opening Letter Dear Mr. Warren,  My past English classes have gone very well, even though I’m not the best reader. English last year was great I learned many new words with all the vocabulary we learned. My reading level though is not up to standards. It’s difficult for me to read for long periods and hard to follow books that take a lot of time to read, because I don’t read very fast and it’s hard for me to concentrate. I’ve read many books known as, __The Boy In The striped pajamas,__ __The crucible,__ __Night,__ __Speak, and To Kill A Mockingbird,__ and even though they were hard to read and understand I tried my best to succeed in reading them. Outside of tenth grade, ninth grade was plays like Romeo and Juliet and I liked doing them, because when plays are acted out I can understand what’s going on. In ninth grade we also did vocabulary and it wasn’t that hard, but the spelling of words was difficult. In the past I’ve written DBQs, Critical lenses, letters, and poems and I like writing because it’s easy to express things through writing. The things I dislike most about English is the spelling and reading. The things I like most about English are when we write. I like writing stories or ideas because it takes my mind away from everything and makes me express who I am in my writing. This year I want to be very successful and want to learn new tactics on spelling and reading. I want to find ways to make me push myself and ways to read up to my potential. I know if I’m taught something that will help me I’ll do my best to try my hardest and won’t give up. I expect to learn new ways to write and different ways English can help us in our life.  English in my future will be very important. I’m going to use it no matter what because; English is used every day almost anytime. I’m going to need it to get a job, go through interviews, Research news, and just introducing myself. For me the biggest thing English will help me in my future is writing reports as a cop or with something in criminal justice.
