China has banned(禁止) free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin(超薄) plastic bags has also been banned.

It is more than three years since I began to study English.At first I found it quite difficult.I couldn’t pronounce well,spell the words correctly or remember the rules of grammar.With the help of my teachers and classmates,I have made much progress.Now I am getting on well with my English.
Three years’ study has taught me that one cannot learn English well without hard work.We must do m ore listening and speaking both in and out of class.And do more reading and writing as well. That is “Practice makes perfect”.
