I need to improve my English too!^^

I need to start writing journals in English too so that I can improve my English. I started learning English when I was in kindergarten.
I am a final year student in one of the local universities in Malaysia now. Since I am in my final semester, I need to polish up my command in English so that I will have a brighter future when applying for jobs. Nowadays, employers seek for employees who are able to write and speak good English. In Malaysia, during primary and secondary school, we learn all subjects in Malay Language. But when I was in high school, I entered an all girls' school which has made me able to speak English confidently in front of people although my English is not perfect, I would say. While I was studying there, I speak English everyday with my friends and teachers. My Biology, Physics, Chemistry, English, History,Mathematics teachers were all chinese. The sylibus are in Malay Language, but whenever the teachers tried to explain they would use English. So, whenever we were asked questions, we will automatically answer them in English. In class too, we always interact with the teacher and friends in English. So, even until now whenever I speak with my Chinese or Indian friends, I would use English.
I am very grateful for attending that school. If I didn't go to that school, I am sure I will have no confidence in speaking English and will never get the chance to improve my English.^^
