28、h for many years, many students in China feel their English is still not very good. We have to ask why?Part of the problem is that it simply takes a long time to learn any foreign language.

However, the grammar and vocabulary of Chinese is quite different from that of English, and this makes it harder for Chinese people to learn English.
