I started learning English at the 1 of 22. It is kind of 2 to start studying a language. However, age is never a problem if you really want to 3 something.
I was preparing myself to study engineering in the USA. To enter (进入) my dream university, I had to 4 a TOEFL score (托福分数) of 90 or higher. After careful thought, I signed up for (报名参加) a six-month program to study English.
It was difficult to get 90 in six months for someone who started learning English from the very beginning, but I decided to have a try. In order to join the 5 , I moved to a different city and rented (租用) a house with a friend. We were in the same program. We did not have any distractions (使人分心的事物) in 6 house, such as televisions, computers or smartphones.
We had classes every day from 8:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. with a lunch break only. After the classes were over, we had something for dinner and started 7 what we had learned and doing homework. We would study 8 we became sleepy and usually, we would finish it by midnight.
My friend and I encouraged each other and we did our best. 9 , we 10 got perfect TOEFL scores and went to the USA at last.
