English and I

To be honest, I simply don’t know when I become interested in English. From my memory, I began my English learning when I went to the primary school. Maybe I have a gift for English, I could keep all the words taught today in mind and whatever words I came across in the newspaper or on the TV, I was able to memorize them directly.

 Later, I showed great interest in English. As I’m one of the most excellent students good at English, I was chosen to compete in an English competition of Junior in our city, Shantou. Though the competition is not so hot, I still feel proud of myself. Because it was the first time that I gave an English speech facing so many people. I was not the failure.

From then on, this unforgettable experience has encouraged me to carry on.

However, when I stepped into a senior high school last year, I was beginning to find it a little hard for me to learn English. For one thing, it is quite different between the Basic English which we had learned in the past and the English in a higher lever. Spoken English played an important role in the high-lever English, and even more and more important. For another, a good sense of English speaking is usually based on our daily English and communication. But my families, my neighbors and even my classmates aren’t used to speaking in English. So my speaking English was quite bad. And soon my grades fell behind.

It’s my elder sister that helped me rebuilt my confidence. She kept on extracting English words and expressions from the reading books or the magazines. And she has collected seven notebooks since then. The notebooks increased my vocabulary, which affected me a lot. She also bought me a set of radio as my seventeenth birthday present. I loved it very much and I repeated following the broadcaster every day. 

Day by day, I made a great progress in my spoken English. 

This is my story with English. I think you may be a crazy English lover. Let’s be friends. Share your English stories with me. What do you think?
