I used to really like english class. But now it is really boring and I get the feeling that although we are learing about the NZ society I dont feel like I am part of it and therefore cannot relate to many of the topics we are doing. For example, I am meant to be writing a report on smoking in teens in NZ and I cant relate to that at all because my social cirlcle is mainly with asian nzers and as far as I know this is not common at all with us. The pont of that assiagnment was too help us solve problems around us but I think problem in the 'asian' community is so much different from the 'mainstream' one and that learning such things has no relevance to me at all and so I have no motivation to want learn about that stuff at all. I want to learn more about myself and my own culture and its problems. I feel like I would actually enjoy learning if that was the case.
