Dear Joan,
I would like to share with you a few things I have come to realise about studying English.
I used to think that learning English invovles only memorizing grammar and volcabularies, I didn't like reading or speaking with classmates in English.
Now, I have realised that learning english means communicating more using it. The more I speak in english, the more I learn about it,thus, I have started to like speaking english with classmates. I read english articles and other english materials online often now and I think it has been a tremendous help in improving my english!
