Hi! I've been studying English since primary school. I used to get high marks in English, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words. I can never quite get the main idea. Any advice
Read and find out what’s their problems.

Topic sentence
Can you find supporting details of these problems
Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk. I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host's! My biggest headache is how to be polite in English. It's so much easier to just say "Open the window!", but in English that can sound really terrible. I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, "Open the window, please!" or "Could you open the window, please " or even longer "Would you mind opening the window, please "

Supporting details
Yeah, that's really hard! I think it all depends on who you're talking to. If I'm talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like “Open the window”—our relationship is close and we're equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us. But if I'm talking to someone who isn't very close to me, I must make my request longer—and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., "Could you open the window, please " If I'm talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, "Would you mind opening the window, please " For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem—there are just SO MANY new words! I can't keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can't remember how to use them all properly. HELP!

范文实战练习
假设你是高一学生李华，期末考试日益临近，但是你发现在英语学习中遇到了一些困难，请给你的英国朋友Alex写一封邮件，向他求助。内容包括：
1.你的困难； 2.寻求帮助。
注意：
词数100词左右 , 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯
Dear Alex,
How's everything going These days I have been struggling with my English learning. Therefore, I badly need your help.
I have difficulty in remembering English words, which accounts for my limited vocabulary. Though having learned English for years, I find that communicating with native speakers in English remains a big headache to me. And what troubles me most is that I often perform poorly in English exams, however hard I work.
I would be grateful if you could reply to me at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible Version 1
Dear Alex,
With the final examination approaching, my anxiety about the English learning is increasing, So I am writing to seek some guidance on how to improve it.
English writing is really a big challenge for me. First of all, my vocabulary is not large, which makes it impossible for me to choose right and authentic words and phrases. Besides, English grammar becomes a bottle-neck of my English writing, the sentences I construct being much more like a Chinese sentence than an English one.
Should you be kind enough to give me any help, I would be grateful to you.
Yours,
Lihua
