I think this picture is cute! (my niece Claris~)

Came across an article about signs of children having reading difficulty, and I think i really have mild reading difficulty. One of the forms is called 'dyslexic', i.e. can't spell correctly, read correctly etc. Sometimes I think some of my colleagues have serious 'dyslexic' problems, because THEY HAVE TERRIBLE SPELLING ERRORS AND CANT EVEN BOTHER TO CHANGE THE WRONG SPELLING BEFORE SUBMITING TO PARTNERS AND EVEN ARCHIVING IT.

Over the years, my academy shifted from science to a humanities course, with lots of readings, lots of self-teaching, and even reading of laws that were written in a way that only lawyers and very few pple can understand. Naturally I find studying get harder and harder, so much so that I feel I suck at it.

Many times I spent much time on studying because I simply don't understand the readings, the textbooks etc. The wordings are phrased in such a way that I can hardly digest. I just can't register all the words. Marketing, econs, FRS, 202 readings, company laws etc. Vetting through our projects before submitting is quite a painful chore for me. I don't think accountancy is that difficult, but its the wordings of the teaching materials that make them sound so complicated. If they can do away with the wordings, and explain in simplier forms like Mathematics or flow charts or mindmaps, then our basic foundation would be much better.

The 2nd reason why i think i have reading difficulty is because of my short term memory. Many times I cannot remember the content after reading a passage, unless its too interesting for me to forget. One of the hardest passages for me is my stragetic mgmt exam case study in UK, which after reading many times I still don't even know the case, needless to say that I was supposed to formulate a business strategy for it.

The 3rd reason is that I'm not gd at languages. At times, I need to think of the sentence in my head before I speak it out. And sometimes I'm just tongue-tied. Learning new languages is like the hardest obstacle (hell out of me). Thats why I am the only one in my family who still doesn't know how to speak Hakka or Cantonese(probably still can't for the rest of my life), the only one in my family who can't even score A1 for express chinese. I did score A2 for english, but I owe it to luck. My vocab can hardly expand, because I can't remember the new words. I can never achieve the standard of a writer with that level of appreciation for literature, the beauty of words.

All in all, i think i have mild reading difficulty, or mild language difficulty, and it runs in my family a little.
