Hello! My name is Mike. I had a great trip last week. On Friday, the head teacher 1 to take the top students of my school to visit the TV station. 2 , I was one of them.
We left for the TV station at 8:00 in the morning, and we 3 there forty minutes later. When we got off the school bus, all of us felt4 .
At first, a worker 5 us around the TV station. There were many rooms and different rooms were for different programs. In a large hall, we found many props(道具) such as trees, small houses and cows. We also saw different settings(舞台布景) like a police station and a farm. There, we 6 a kid's show. 7 of us talked in the show.
We all did a good job, and after that, we went to a restaurant to have lunch. There, we met8 programs almost every evening. I was happy to take photos 9 some of them. They said our show would be on TV soon.
It was a fantastic trip and I learnt a lot at the TV station. I'll never 10 it.
People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, every-one has different suggestions. I will 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 travelling 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 im-proving 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.
Nowadays, English is one of the main subjects and Chinese students have to study it hard. However, some students say it is difficult to learn English. Now I will give you some advice about how to learn English well.
