English conversation class

Last evening I went to Guro YBM to attend the English conversation class. I left work at 6:30 and got to the school very early although the class begins at 8:15. I went into the study room to do some reading as I got plenty of time left. Not long after that, Helen who I met in the last month's class came in. So we came out of the room and talked in the reception area. She is 33 year old woman working in overseas sales of meteorological sensors. I managed to get her to tell me about her age last night finally.:) Actually I decided to take the evening class partly because she said she would take the evening class as well. She seems very nice and easy to talk to. I don't believe first impressions any more since I learned it from G, though.:) Helen and I got close quickly like Eunjoo and I did.:) I naturally become very active to get close to someone once I really like the person. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how long I've known the person. Of course, time spent together helps build up trust, though. For the most part, people instinctively recognize the people who can be their friends. Helen is single and there must be a lot of pressure from people around her to get her to marry. There's a new guy in my office who is 33 year old software engineer working for a company that works for/with Prosonic for a big project. I told her about him. She said "Be his friend and fix him up with me." :)

The teacher of this month's class is Mark, the same as last month. All the students say he is nice and I agree but I need a teacher who has more teaching skills like giving me advice on my English so I can actually learn something as well as I enjoy the class.
We've got some new students but their English doesn't seem good except one middle-aged man's. I really enjoy the class but when I have to spend lots of time talking to those people who have much lower English abilities than me, I feel I am kind of wasting time. However, it's good that I have more chances to talk. There are pros and cons in everything. I will just have to make the most of the pros.
BTW, I am worried if my English speaking ability could ever improve.:(
