From age eight to eleven, I studied in a small school in England. As a Chinese who just got to England, I had1 in learning English. I often made lots of mistakes in class, and my classmates always2me. I was very sad and even wanted to3English.
But my English teacher, Mr. Ronald helped me4that. He was a tall and fat man with a kind heart.5he was quite strict with us, he often told us little stories to make us6. He was a very good teacher and helped7with any difficulties we met in study. He was very8with us and always explained things carefully. He quickly9 that I was afraid to speak English in class. He often stopped me as I was going home and had some small conversations10 me in English. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult,11I loved them.
Soon, there was a speech contest. Mr. Ronald12me to take part in it. I had never spoken English in front of my classmates and felt very13 . Mr. Ronald told me to regard it as a14 .I tried my15 and won first prize. Later, I realized Mr. Ronald had helped me a lot with my English.
People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I'll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University，but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "How would I say them in English?" At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I'm in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. it's amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.
But at times, I found myself in funny situations .When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face(无表情). I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why some of them need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I don't need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.
However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned(厚脸皮) is to describe a person who doesn't care for criticism(批评).I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms(习语). For example,“look on with folded arms”(袖手旁观)means xiushoupangguan, and“burn the boats”（破釜沉舟）is similar to pofuchenzhou. I'm still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.
