[Essay] sweet memories

[contiluo]

Please help me make the paragraph below sound natural. Thanks.

Taking the EGRC course benefits me a lot. For one thing, it helps me improve my English speaking skills and advance my writing ability. For another thing, I become more confident when I give a speech standing on the stage. I’m able to respond English fluently and automatically. Last, but not least, I make good friends with Vicky and Eric. In the days of EGRC, we learn from each other, work diligently together, and accomplish a lot of difficult tasks together. All of these will become sweet memories in my life.
