When I was at primary school, I was not interested in English at all. At
that time, my English was very poor. When I became a middle school
student, my mother got back from Australia. She asked me to watch
English movies and TV programs, listen to English songs and practise
speaking English with her.
Now, I do one unit of the reading
exercises in Pep Up Your English by the People's Education Press every
day. Although I have just graduated from junior middle school, I have
finished the books for Senior One students and now I am working on the
books for Senior Two. The reading materials are quite new and cover a
lot of fields, so I like the set of books very much. I think the books
have helped me to improve my reading comprehesion a lot. Thanks to Pep
Up Your English, I got the standard score 807 in English in the first
model examination of Baoan District and A+ in the Shenzhen Senior High
School Entrance examination.
I had some problems while I was
learning English. I was good at spoken English, but poor in written
English. I used to make mistakes in spelling. Then, I learned seven
words by heart every day by going over them five times within a
day——early in the morning, after lunch, after school, after dinner,
before going to bed. As a result, I don't often make mistakes now.
Besides, my grammar was poor, so when I had time, I would read my
grammar book now and then. Although it was boring to me, after thinking
of the goodness it would bring, I didn't feel bored any longer.
