My “Qomolangma” is that I can’t learn English well. Every English class is like a bad dream. The teacher speaks so quickly that I do not understand her. What’s worse, I often make mistakes in grammar. That makes me unhappy.
However, my teachers and classmates always help me out. I decide to challenge myself in the face of difficulties. Firstly, I will try my best to listen to the teacher carefully. Secondly, I will take English notes in order to improve my grammar. Besides that, it is necessary for me to ask the teacher for help even though I am a little shy.
All in all, I will never give up learning English no matter how hard it is. I believe I can succeed.
