In our learning process, progress is the result of hard work. When I started middle school, I was weak in English. My English pronunciation was bad. But now my pronunciation has greatly improved. Because one day I watched an English movie. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie. In order to see English movies, I began to study English hard. Besides, my English teacher encouraged me and gave me some advice. Finally, I made much progress in English and gained a lot of confidence through my efforts. I am going to listen to English songs and read English articles. I plan to keep on practicing English writing whenever I have a chance. I’m pleased with my progress. And I’m also thankful to my English teacher.
