Title
1.
Here we are Fadil and Bekti. The two friends with the very long friendship.
2.
Do you know how we can get success in learning English?
3.
We have been friends since the first time we entered the university, it was the University of Jember, Indonesia.
4.
We took the same program of study, English Education Program.
5.
What makes our friendship so special until today is that we keep using English any time and any where we meet.
6.
It started when we met for the very first time at the university.
7.
In the class, we spoke English to each other about subjects, course materials, assignments, and many other things. Even, in a non English speaking situation we kept speaking English. We didn’t care about our surroundings be they in the public areas like market, canteen, public car, library and even at home where we don’t speak English with our family.
8.
Sometimes people looked at us strange but we didn’t care. We kept going on our English conversation.
9.
The result was that we had been successfully mastering English during our study. People said we have been good in English.
10.
It has been more than twenty years of our friendship now.
11.
Eventhough we are far away, English is still means of our communication. English has been our first language in our conversation. English becomes our passion.
12.
None of us starts conversation but in English.
13.
That is how we maintain our English proficiency.
14.
We think that we will always do that forever.
