     2) What things made your needs complicated or special?
    
           The main things are lack of talking, writing skills, and listening. 
    3) What were the results or outcomes of coming to LINC class?
             
           I got good things in LINC class. Those are stage fear, writing skills and talking with others in English. Up to last year I don't know how to write big big stories in English now I am perfect to write some stories.
