Your English teacher hasn't met me yet she/he made a judgment with which he/she assumed would apply to every deaf person.
I've been an English tutor for about a couple years at gally. I didn't get good English comphrension from just hearing sentences everyday with my own ears. I exposed myself to a lot of books. Read, read, read, and use a dictionary! Take responsibility for yourselves, and don't rely so much on others with good English comphrension to edit your paper or anything else you've written.. that will only make your self esteem plummet in my opinion. Find a solution that works for you and still be able to keep your dignity. Most of all, it doesnt hurt to ask others if your grammar is good or bad. Don't pretend your English is just fine, if you wish to have really good English grammar.
In short, it helps to read literature - perhaps an anthology (collection of short stories, passages, or works of art or music) would be good to start with working on your analyzing skills. YES, you get to think about what you read. I recommend the Great American Bathroom Book series.
It will definitely help you catch up with the great works, and concepts/ideas that define our society today.
