My story
I used to have problems learning English. When I was in junior high school, my English was so poor that I only got less than 80 in the first final exam. I felt upset and I was afraid of speaking in the English class. And I often made many mistakes in the homework. Later, my teacher told me the importance of English and I decided to make some changes. I listened very carefully in the class and I turned to my classmates for help. I wasn’t shy anymore and I tried to be more outgoing and active. Things had changed a lot. In the next exam, I made great progress. Then I fell in love with English.
Now I become an English teacher. It’s so important for me. I believe that if you work hard and try to change, you will succeed in the future. You should be confident and be active in face of difficulty and never give up. I hope you can all succeed in your life.
