It was common for us to recite words every day in the first year of primary school. Our teachers told us the key to learning English well is to recite words, so we had to recite a lot of words but now i have forgotten almost all of them. Every day our English teacher wore formal clothes at school and because of his expressionless face / serious face / serious expression, we thought he was a boring person.
