I am a student in Grade Three. I began to learn English the year before last year. English isn’t very        to learn. But I like it very much.
        do I study English?
In the first year, I found         very difficult to memorize new words. At first I        a lot of time on them. I learned new words only         reading
and writing them.        a few days later I forgot them. Later, with        help of my teachers, I came to know how to do it well. I paid more attention to        and spelling. In this way, I have        a lot of new words by heart. Every morning after I get up, I do some reading. At school I       to speak English with my classmates and review what I have learned.
Nothing is too hard if you put your heart into it.
