#2-7 What Motivates People??? #3

First of all, I don't join any circles or clubs in University even though I really want to do.

So, talking about the most motivating activities, I choose "German class" and... maybe "Visual and Drama Culture class."

I choose German class as a motivating activities because I just like now and want to learn more. I didn't like German language when I first started learning it, but I become to like it through having a conversation with German native speakers. I'm always happy when I can make a sentences in German and the natives understand what I'm saying. Actually, it is the same way as how I became to like English. I didn't get anything for that. Thus, the German class is an intrinsic motivator.

It's a little bit difficult to say that the visual and drama culture class is a motivating class because the genre which is used in the class is different from my taste even though I like movies... However, I attend every classes and I enjoy some of them. I think I can say that it is a intrinsic motivator because although I don't have to take the class, I take the class.

In addition, of course I enjoy this English class because I like English. However, I'm not good at reading or academic writing. Therefore, English for me is more like training to overcome the weak points.

It is concluded that I am motivated intrinsically more.
