I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject —— English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

It was my first day at Grade 6. And the first lesson was English. When I was doing nothing, Mr. Gough, our new English teacher, into the classroom.
To my surprise, he held up a book, The Collected Works of Edgar Allen Poe, and asked if anyone it. I put my hand up, because Poe was my favorite writer. Mr. Gough asked if I really understood the author tried to say in his book. My reply made him smile, and he asked me an essay on that subject.
After that, English classes became a new interest for me. Mr. Gough thought that students hadto a play to understand it. “Don’t just read it,” he said.
As time passed, we developed a real friendship. He encouraged me to be a in the future. When I left school, he said to me, “You have a gift for writing, Tony, and one day you’ll come to realize how it is. Make use of it if you want your life to be complete.”
