I have been learning English for almost three years. During these years, I have got a lot of fun in learning the language. Now I can talk with a foreign friend in English. I can enjoy English programs on TV or over the radio. With the help of a dictionary, I can even read China Daily. Of course, I can’t understand all of them, because I don’t have a large number of vocabularies. So sometimes it is very difficult for me to express what I want to say when I talking with my online friend in English. I think doing practice in reading, speaking, listening and writing is very important for our English.
