Zhang Jianna is a cleaner in Sanlitun in Beijing. Some foreigners(外国人) often ask her for help in English when she is working.
At first, Zhang couldn't speak English. To help others better, she started learning English by herself at the age of 40. She could only study in her free time. She started with words and phrases from her son's English books. She wrote them down and recited(背诵) them before going to bed at night, then reviewed them after getting up the next morning. She spent (花费) little time watching movies, dancing and so on.Over the years, she has used more than ten notebooks. She knows more than 3,000 words and she can talk with foreigners well now.
"I just want to help people,"said Zhang,"Helping others makes me happy."
"It's difficult to learn English at my age. Persistence is the key to learning English. Learn step by step, learn every day,"Zhang said.
