    One evening I visited the English corner of our town. It is near our school. There are trees and flowers and a small ground. Every evening, large numbers of people go there to improve their English, but I had never been there before.

When I arrived there, many people had already been there. I looked around and found that most of them were students. Some of them were talking in English in twos and threes. To my great surprise, I even found three foreigners talking and smiling with some students who were listening with great interest. Just then, a tall student came towards me and asked, "Shall we have a talk in English？" My heart beat very fast at that moment because it was the first time for me to visit the English corner. Anyway, I said, "Yes." Soon we talked freely about our studies, our lives, our hobbies as well as our problems of learning English. Time went fast, and it was already 11 o'clock before I realised it.

I had a good time there and was glad to learn a lot at the English corner. I understood the proverb better, "Practice makes perfect."
