“Learner profile: Yamilka Martinez”
Today I learned a lot about my classmate Yamilka Martinez. Yamilka is from Dominican Republic. She has been living in New York for two years. She lives in Queens and she lives with her father and her five sisters. The good thing is she has a sister who can speak English very well, and she gets help from her sister. Yamilka needs to take the Q58 and Q27 to come to QCC. She has been studying English one year, and she wants to keep improve her English in the college. She wants to study accounting and she plans to enter QCC after Clip. She hasn’t taken any college classes in America, but she has taken college classes in Dominican Republic. Yamilka likes America because she thinks everything is easier in America. She works in the supermarket. Also she can speak Spanish when she goes home. Nobody speaks English with her when she works. In her supermarket, all people can speak Spanish. It makes everything become easier in her work. It also brings some negative influence to her because it will affect her ability to improve her English.
