In the first year of junior high school, I had many difficulties in learning English.Both my pronunciation and my grammar were terrible. I didn’t know how to improve them. I didn’t want my parents to know about this. One afternoon after the lesson, my English teacher told me to wait for her outside the classroom. She took me to the school library and gave me some CDs for pronunciation drills. She also showed me some books and explained that an English- English dictionary was useful to improve English grammar. “Now you know what you should do,” she said to me. I made great progress only one year later and won the first prize in the English-speaking contest for secondary school students in my city.
