My English Learning
English is a very important subject at school. With the help of the reacher, my English has improved a lot. I can remember most of the words I have learned. Of all the activities I like pair work best, because I enjoy working with my classmates. For me, the most difficult part is speaking. We don’t often have the chance to speak English, so I find it really useful to take an active part in class discussions. However, I am still very weak at listening. I think I must listen to more English stories and tapes, And I believe I can learn English well by doing so in the future.
