• I cant get the pronunciation right.
• I forget a lot of new words.
• I cant always understand when people talk to
  me.
• I dont get much writing practice.

Listening can help. You can always write the
new words in your notebook and study them at
home. You can join an English language club
to practice speaking English? You should fink
a pen pal.

Last year my English class was difficult for me.
First of all, it wasnt easy for me to understand
the teacher when she talked to the class.
To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I
couldnt understand every word.
Later on, I realized that I doesnt matter if
you dont understand every word
Also I was afraid to speak in class, because I
thought my classmates might laugh at me. I
couldnt always make complete sentences, either.
Then I started to watch English-language TV. It
helped a lot.
5
Another thing that I found very difficult was
English grammar.
I think that doing lots of listening practice is
one of the secrets of becoming a good language
learner. Another thing that I found very
difficult was English grammar. So I decided to
take lots of grammar notes in every class. Then I
started to write my own original sentences using
the grammar I was learning. Its amazing how
much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning
English and I got an A this term. My teacher is
very impressed.

Write T(for true) or F(for false)
The writer found learning English difficult
because 1. the teachers pronunciation was
poor. 2. people always laughed at her when she
spoke. 3. she had trouble making complete
sentences. 4. English grammar was difficult. Her
English improved when she started.. 5. going out
with English-speaking friends. 6. lots of
speaking practice. 7. using grammar in original
sentences.
