Today, more people speak English as their first, second, or foreign language. Native English speakers can understand each other but not everything. All languages change when cultures communicate with one another. So there are British English, American English, Australian English and so on. They all have their own identity. English is also spoken as a foreign or second language in many other countries. Maybe one day Chinese English will become one of the world English.21*cnjy*com

I have made great progress in English learning. But at first, I had many difficulties in learning English. I found listening really hard. Sometimes, it’s just impossible to understand. Besides, my written English was not very good. And it was hard for me to memory new words.2·1·c·n·j·y
How could I improve my English? Take listening as example. I bought a radio and listen to BBC English every morning. The more you listen to English, th e easier it becomes. At the same time, I got an English e-pal an d my written English improved quickly. Meanwhile, I made a plan to memory new words. Every evening memory twenty new words and review them the next morning. Then put them up on the wall to review in my spare time.
English is my good friend. With the help of English I can listen to English music and movies. I’m very interested in English novels. Thanks to Eng lish I can enjoy original work. Also it will make my journey comfortable, if I travel in English speaking countries.21教育网

Why should we learn English?
In China nearly every student learns English but it is still worth asking — why? There are many reasons.
English is important to a successful education; it is almost impossible to get into a key university without a high standard in English. In addition, English is now the language of the business world so an ability to speak and write English fluently is important to one’s career. A third reason is that there are many beautiful works of literature written in English, which can give the reader a great deal of pleasure.
There is no doubt that learning English is important and we should try our best to master it.
