Writing exercise

After a maternity leave, I am very glad to come back to SE class, and restart my English study. I found it’s difficult to talk with my teacher fluently because I hadn’t used English for 1 year. I forgot a lot of words, even the basic ones. For some words, I need to think them very hard. I know they are hidden deep in my mind, but I can’t use them very smartly. For English speaking, you can use words only after you are very familiar with them.
