My learning goals for this course

Hi everyone,

This was our first task in this course. We had to write a 1-paragraph summary about our learning goals for this year.

Due to my first blog entry I want to talk about my goals for this course, English for IB&M 1.
I think everyone of us is able to speak English but who of us is able to talk to top managers and explain and show them his or her ideas.
My first aim is to improve my vocabulary. As you might remember in our first and last lecture we were taught we need only 2000 words to have a common conversation. However, we need around 10,000 words to have an intelligent conversation so that both sides can talk about important topics concerning international business.
Furthermore, I want to improve my reading skills. Although I spend my last ten month in Australia and gained a lot of practice in speaking, I never went through an article or other texts. After my first task to read two chapters in 'Organization Structure' I had some problems understand everything. Most of the time I had to go through one sentence twice.
