I’m a senior school student, so I like English very much. Besides attending to English lessons at school, I often go to the English Corner in the park near my home on Sunday mornings. I know that this English Corner set up five years ago. Many high school students usually gather there, and sometimes, some college students and even foreign friends were present there. We practice our speaking English, exchange our experience in learning English, and talk about that we are interested in and so on. Since I began to visit them three months ago, I have greatly improved myself in English, which encourage me to go there regular with confidence. I believe it will be the wise decision.
