A plan for English
Today Harmony asked me why I want to learn English. My reason is clear because English is important in the world. Many rich and powerful country use it as their first language. Shanghai is a developed city in the world and many foreigners live in Shanghai. I think it’s a wonderful feeling when you talk to foreigners in English and it’s a good skill in society. If I want to get a new job, I think I can get this skill to get a better job. Now I need study hard at English to make big progress.
