我的英語學習之路

李春良

對于母語不是英語的人來說，英語學習的歷程可能會很漫長。本文中的主人公就英語學習分享了一些經驗和建議。

1 English is very important today. Its like a bridge that connects people， nations and countries. Its a language of business， commerce， politics， sport， fashion and culture.

2 Id like to share my experience in learning English. I have been learning English for nine years， and its my favourite subject at school. I learned my first English words and expressions at the age of five with the help of colourful books. Now Im studying at school specialized in learning foreign languages. I have five English classes per week. We read and discuss texts， have practice in listening and writing and do lots of grammar and vocabulary exercises. My favourite activities in English classes are the following： doing computer tests， doing projects and speaking. As for extra?curricular activities， I like taking part in English contests and acting in performances.

3 Im crazy about rock music and I love songs of English?speaking singers and bands. I often surf the Internet and find interesting websites about them. Its not a problem for me to read information in English. One of my hobbies is playing the guitar and singing songs in English. I always speak to foreigners who visit our school and our town. Its fun！ I also attend extra English classes which do me a lot of good. I make presentations and write essays to be published on my teachers website， where I have my own page. To cut a long story short， I use every opportunity to practice English and develop my reading， writing and listening skills. My goal is to become a fluent speaker.

4 In conclusion， Id like to recommend everyone to study English hard and not to waste time. Remember the proverb that lost time is never found again. In my opinion， if you know English well， you will climb the ladder of success.
