How I learned to learn English Last year my English class was difficult for me. First of all, it wasn’t easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked to the class. To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldn’t understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word. Also I was afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmate might laugh at me.I couldn’t always make complete sentences, either.

Another thing that I found very difficult was English Grammar. So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class.

19. Dear Li Lei,
I know it isn’t easy to learn English well, but I have some ideas that may help. You said you couldn’t understand people who talked fast. Well, you can try to listen for the most important words, not every word. You can also do lots of

20. listening practice. I think it’s one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I think important is English grammar.
In order to learn it well, you have to take a lot of grammar notes in every class. You can write English sentences using the grammar you
