1、 Last year my English class was difficult.First of all,it wasnt easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked.To begin with,she spoke too quickly,and I couldnt understand every word.Later on,I realized that it doesnt matter if you dont understand every word.I was also afraid to speak in clas
2、s,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.I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of beacoming a good learner.Another thing that Ifound very difficult was
3、 English grammar.So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class.The 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.我是怎样学习英语的我是怎样学习英语的 去年
4、，英语课很难。首先，老师讲话的时候我去年，英语课很难。首先，老师讲话的时候我很难听懂。开始的时候，她讲的太快，我听不清很难听懂。开始的时候，她讲的太快，我听不清每一个单词。之后，我才意识到听不清每一个单每一个单词。之后，我才意识到听不清每一个单词这并不重要。我也很害怕在课堂上发言，因为词这并不重要。我也很害怕在课堂上发言，因为我害怕同学们会取笑我。因为我还不能造完整的我害怕同学们会取笑我。因为我还不能造完整的句子，我就开始看英语电视节目，这很有用。我句子，我就开始看英语电视节目，这很有用。我认为大量的做听力练习是成为一名成功学习者的认为大量的做听力练习是成为一名成功学习者的秘诀。另外，我还发现
5、英语语法很难，于是我决秘诀。另外，我还发现英语语法很难，于是我决定在每一堂课上做些笔记。然后用学到的语法知定在每一堂课上做些笔记。然后用学到的语法知识点来造句，这很有帮助，让人惊讶。现在我很识点来造句，这很有帮助，让人惊讶。现在我很乐意学习英语，这学期考试还得了一个乐意学习英语，这学期考试还得了一个A。老师对。老师对我印象很深刻。我印象很深刻。My biggest problem is that Im too busy.When I was young,I used to have so much time,but these days I get up early and stay in s
6、chool all day.Then I go right home and eat dinner.Before I started high school,I used to spend a lot of time playing games with my friends,but I just dont have the time anymore.In the evening,I used to watch TV or chat with my grandmother,but now I have to study.I love music,and my father used to ta
7、ke me to concerts.These days,I hardly ever have time for concerts.I do my homework and goto bed.I really miss the old days.我最大的问题 我最大的问题是我太忙了。当我小时候时，我曾经有很多时间，但这些天，我起得早，并在学校里呆一整天。然后我径直回家吃晚饭。在我上高中之前，我经常花很多时间和我的朋友玩游戏，但我现在再也没有那时间了。在晚上，我经常看电视或和我的祖母聊天，但现在我必须学习。我喜欢音乐，我的父亲经常带我去音乐会。这些天，我几乎没有时间去音乐会了。我做我的功课和上床

9、s belive that if we did that,we should concentrate more on our clothes than our studies.We disagree.We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying.If we cant do that,we should be allowed to design our own uniforms.That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.Its al
10、so probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening.I know we get noisy sometimes,but we lear a lot from each other.We also think that vacations should be longer.At present theyre too short.Longer vacations would give us time to do things like volunteering.La
