Task 3下面是一位同学的习作，根据所学内容，找出文章中4个需要改进的句子：
假如你叫李华，在光明中学读书，在高中学习英语的过程中遇到一些问题，想得到老师的帮助，并想给班级的英语老师提一些建议，以帮助自己学好英语。

下面表格中只给了简单的提示，请你结合自己的实际情况给英语老师写一封求助信，内容如下：
Dear teacher,
My name is Li Hua. I wanna you to help me. I have met many difficulties in learning English. First, I find our texts full of new words that are very difficult for me to remember. Besides, the texts are too long for me to recite. What’s more, grammar is also very difficult to learn.
Faced with so many difficulties, I have to ask you for some help. You should introduce us some good ways to learn new words so that we can remember them more easily. In the meanwhile, I beg you to teach the text more slowly so that the average students like me can easily follow you. Also, I would like you to introduce some rules and good ways of learning grammar. I’m sure that I can make great progress in my English study if you can answer my question and follow my advice.
Yours,
LiHua。
