Of all the subjects at school, I like English best. They say English is too difficult to learn and that some of us have to give it up, but I don’t think so. Here I would like to tell you something about my way of studying English.
On the one hand, English is difficult to learn because of the fact that the language is so different from our mother language. On the other hand, we haven’t got enough chances to hear English spoken, and it is hard for us to speak English to foreigners.
So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practice speaking English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher very carefully and try my best to answer the teacher’s questions. After class I listen to the tapes of the texts again and again until I can understand every word of it. I often retell the texts in my own words. If I have the chance, I will speak English to my friends by using the things I have learned.
Of course this is not enough. In the evening I do my written work carefully. When something interesting happens to me, I will write it down in English. At first, I couldn’t write well, but with the help of my teachers I have made great progress.(进步)
