My English Study
It?s almost six years since I began to learn English.At the beginning, I found English learning a little difficult. I couldn?t pronounce some of the words, and I often made mistakes in grammar. Besides, I couldn?t always understand spoken English. However, these problems were all solved because I solved them properly. For example, I improved my pronunciation by listening to the tape and repeating out loud. I made less mistakes in grammar by taking notes in class and doing many exercises. English learning is a lifelong journey. I believe that by choosing the correct ways, I will study even harder. In this way, I can get better grades in English!
