When I was at school, I learned English by everyday’s lesson. A teacher faced to nearly 50 students in the class, and she can’t make everyone have a chance to speak. The test was mainly made of choices, so the students have no need for writing practice. I think the most effective way of improving my English is to read more, speak more,and listen more. I am happy to find this place to exercise my English. It has been one month as I attended in smart English. I have a little progress in my pronunciation and vocabulary. I wish I could have much time to work on these two parts and have more improvement in the future.

When I was in school, I had an English lesson everyday. The teacher taught nearly 50 students in the class, and she couldn’t give everyone a chance to speak. The tests were mainly multiple choice, so the students had no need for writing practice. I think the most effective way of improving my English is to read more, speak more,and listen more. I am happy to find this place to exercise my English. It has been one month since I started to attend smart English. I have made a little progress in my pronunciation and vocabulary.
