My English Classes at School and University

I'm glad that I was taught English well at school. We had a great teacher - Natalia Ivanovna (I forger her surname unfortunately). She was a good teacher with a perfect British English pronunciation.She was strict but fair. She wanted us to know English at highest level possible. I think many of her students are glad now that they had a teacher like her. To be honest, my English was better when I graduated from my school, than it is now, or maybe it's just how our memory works - we tend to think a bit romantic about the past time, that it was better than the present.
After school I went to study English at university to become an interpretator. Of course, there were more English classes, and the teacher we had was also great. She was younger and more easy-going person. I had a good relations with her while I was studying hard, but then, when I started slacking, she got disappointed of me, I guess. At university, we had a film watching classes, where we watched some old films, but I don't remember which exactly. The memories of those times are too blurry now. My study group consisted of girls except for two boys: me and a boy whose name was Leonid. I remember some of the girls were pretty good at language, but one or two of them were extremely bad. They couldn't even read simple texts properly.

Corrections

We had a great teacher - Natalia Ivanovna (I forgert her surname, unfortunately).

My personal sense is that "last name" would be more natural than "surname"; I think "surname" is more often used in formal contexts such as forms.

After school I went to study English at university to become an interpretatoer.

Or "romanticize the past," as has been suggested.

Either:
- "We watched sometimes films in class," if the focus of the course wasn't on film (e.g. watching films in a language course)
- "We had a film class," if the focus was on film.

The memories of those times are too blurry now.

My study group consisted wholly of girls except for two boys: me and a boy whose name was Leonid.

I remember some of the girls were pretty good at languages, but one or two of them were extremely bad.

I like "view the past in a romantic light". Sounds nice.

"Teacher" is not the most common word used at the university level. Usually it is a "professor" but because many university teachers are adjuncts/lecturers rather than professors, I have used "instructor" as the accepted general term.
