Passage1

My story in learning English

I moved here three years ago,and because of my business,I needed to fly both to Taiwan and the United States often.When I traveled alone,I felt lonely because I couldn't speak English well.I made a decision that I had to learn English.

Before I came to the class,I always walked away when I met any foreigner.At last,I came to this English class.It's completely different now.I try to communicate with Americans in English by myself.Now I like to talk to foreigners.I like to go to American supermarkets,Starbuck's coffee shops and the post office.Not only the skill of life becomes more flexible,but also I really like to live here.I learn English in four ways:

First of all,I listen to the teacher carefully in class.Then I keep speaking during the class. Second,I do my homework right away when I get home.I memorize at least five words everyday.

Third,I listen to American radio broadcast,and I watch the news channels and other American programs with my family everyday.I ask the them whatever I don't know.

Finally,I go to American stores as often as possible.I can get more chances to learn more new words,and find every chance to talk to Americans in English.

Anyway,the most important thing is not to be afraid to open your mouth.It doesn't matter even though you speak incorrectly.It's a good start.I'm very appreciative of the teaching and encouragement from Ms.Colina Smith.That is the key to open the door of learning English for me.
