I think most of you might have wondered
about the meaning of my title brewing
for the breadline
green light is a metaphor for objective
hope and goal used an F scott
Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby and
in my speech that women light symbolizes
English learning I came here tonight to
share my rather unique experience of
learning English I have never studied
abroad and I never went to any English
academies either I studied English by
myself mainly through English literature
now I’m going to introduce to you my
experience of learning English but
before moving on I’d like to state that
my way can’t possibly be the best way
there is to learn English however it
worked out pretty well for me and I hope
it will be interesting enough for you to
test it out my experience goes back to
winter of 2013 winter vacation has
started and I had absolutely nothing to
do so I was just going through my stuff
in my room when I spotted a book titled
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to
be honest I had off a little bit before
picking it up
because it was written in English and I
wasn’t sure I would be able to read it
but curiosity got the better of me and I
carried the book to my bed I started
reading it and it was like a new world
a new universe before me that I hadn’t
possibly imagined before I devoured the
whole book then and there and begged my
mother to buy the whole series for me
for months on end all in the world of
wizardry and went ventures with Harry
Ron and Hermione and after that I
started to find joy in reading English
books the great thing about this is
I learned real-life expressions from
reading the conversation between Harry
Ron and Hermione was relatable to me
because I was young I was a teenager
myself and so the expressions they used
were also expressions that I could use I
loved the series so much that I read it
again and again until I memorized some
of the expressions and lines and a
memory created like that doesn’t fade
easily and it was all kind of absorbed
into me to be the foundation for my
English the books that I read after
Harry Potter increased my English
literary sense as well as basic English
ability one day when I was second grade
in middle school my mother brought home
five big books and they were a series
called a Song of Ice and Fire
I started reading them and through them
I found the beauty of English literature
to illustrate I’ve brought an example
the comet’s tail spread across the bone
a red slash that bled above the cracks
of Dragonstone like a wound in the pink
and purple sky don’t you think it’s
beautiful this is the first line in
volume 2 a Clash of Kings and the series
is all of descriptive languages like
this one and I learned to appreciate its
beauty and also since this book was way
more difficult than my previous readings
I was able to develop my English ability
further and it gave me the confidence I
needed to challenge more difficult ones
later on in middle school I read a lot
but most were my mother’s
recommendations and I hadn’t read any of
the classics but after entering high
school I started to read the classics of
English literature such as The Catcher
in the Rye To Kill a Mockingbird The
Great Gatsby
and 1984 thank you
unlike the books that I had read before
these books cost me to actually think
deeply about this topic I bought a
passage from The Great Gatsby so we beat
on boats against the current borne back
ceaselessly into the past this is the
concluding passage of the Great Gatsby
and it’s my favorite one since I stirred
a lot of thoughts inside me when I first
read it the message here is that human
beings tried towards their goals by
transcending their past but they are not
able to move beyond that past the
current draws us backwards as we rode
towards the green light this made me
reflect on myself to see if any past memory
