English Study
　　How time flies！ My three-year middle school life will be over soon。 Looking back， I have many memories of my English study。
　　When I entered the middle school， I had so many difficulties with my English。 I was not able to understand the teacher in class， and I couldn’t master the words and phrases。 For a time I wanted to give it up。 Later， with the help of the teacher and my classmates， I listened to the teacher carefully in class， kept on reading English every day and spoke as much as possible。 Step by step I made great progress in English。
　　In a word， only when you develop interest in studying English can you learn it well。
