Ex.4
English is an international language, so I enjoy studying it, and have had a good time during my two-year English study in the senior middle school. I think it is interesting to learn a foreign language. You must do these important things if you want to learn it well. First, reading, then listening and writing. And in time you are able to understand it; remember it and use it. If you do these things well, your English will certainly be good. And in the future you will find it in more useful. Your effort is valuable. Two years ago, I know only a little English. During the senior middle school years, I have learnt more. Now I think I have made much progress in English, though I still find I can't use it very well.
What do I enjoy most in my English study? I think it is my oral English. Now I think I can speak what I want to speak and can make myself understood. How can I enjoy it? There is a story in it.
One day, I met some foreigners in the street. Suddenly, I felt I wanted to talk with them so much that I walked towards them and after saying hello to each other. We began to talk, to my great surprise, they could understand me and I could understand them. This was the first time that I found I could use what I had learned. After that, I became more and more interested in oral English. It’s so simple, and I love it.
