To tell you the truth, Amelia felt quite good as a student - though she wasn't the best one, I admit. Studying English Philology appeared to be hard, but fascinating at the same time. If you haven't the slightest idea, how these studies looked like in Poland, I will give you some prompts. You study : English grammar, aural comprehension, reading comprehension, writing (precis, compositions, essays), conversations, translations, descriptive grammar, historical grammar, pronunciation, intonation, history of English literature, history of American literature, history of Great Britain, history of the USA, methodology, psychology, sociology and so on.(The list of obligatory subjects is much longer). The studies lasted 5 years and then you could get your M.A. Now, the system of education in Poland is a bit similar to the one in the USA (two degrees: B.A. and M.A.).
While studying, Amelia learnt quite a lot, also about herself. At the beginning she didn't even want to become a teacher of English, but soon she got this job - and became a good teacher, as far as I know. Thanks to the studies, she started loving Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath. She also liked English Romanticism and modern drama. Moreover, Amelia was keen on history of the world, journalism and making films...
