I want to be a fluent English speaker. But that is not easy to me, in my situation, I always make a lot of simple mistakes in grammar, and vocabulary also is my another key weakness.
Teacher suggest me to do more practice,such as use new vocab, and use English structure to speaker or think something. Until to now, I can feel I get some improvements by myself than before.But when I meet some guys who also learned English in the same place and I admire that they can speak fluent and had a good conversation with a teacher. I feel sad and hate myself can’t improve like them.
Maybe they have enough time than me, but I will keep walking and don’t give up, I trust that I can speak very well in the future.
