When I learn English ,I always can’t recite words ,it’s difficult to me .\r\nTherefore, I recite words every day.I recite words when I have free time.\r\nAnd I study English when teacher finished lessons.In spite of the fact that I \r\nspeak Englih very bad ,but I blieven that I can make it !! 30641
In my opinion, English is the most difficult subject for me. I often get poor grade at English. I feel very depressed and I enev want to abandon it. however, it is the most improtant subject for enter university. So i should find some solution to solve this problem. I asked to my friend Peter who is good at English. He give me three advice to improve my poor English. First, he asked me reading Engilsh magizine and listenning ICRT. Therefore, he advised me try to speak English with other classmates. Finally, I would attempt to enjoty learning English. I hope that my English grade could progress. 30631
My difficulty is that I communicate with foreigner. I can??t understand what he says right away. The best way to prove my English well is listening to the broadcasting and read the sentences loudly. 30626
The difficulties I’ve met are that sometimes I can’t completely understand what the teacher said about the grammar.\r\nI can??t realize the terms such as ??clause??and ??relative pronoun?? which exactly means.\r\nI think I must work harder on practicing English compositions, for improving the sense of English grammar.30621
My problems in learning English are writing and speaking. I think I am good at listening when somebody was talking to me. But the biggest problem that comfused me is there are too less vocabularys in my mind to let me use. So mayby I should spend more time reciting more words so that I will have more confident to speak and write.
I have been learning English since I was eight. There were a lot of frustrations and difficulties in these ten years,but I never gave up.\r\n The most impressive one was that I can’t remember all words I have recited.\r\nAs soon as I spent a lot of time reciting words or phrases,I forgot them the next day. Now I find a good method to improve the problem.I prepare a small notebook and write down every word I have recited then I can review them whenever I want. So I can remember all words I have recited. 30630
When I learn English, I think it’s difficutle to I to recite the new words. Therefore, everytime when teacher finish the lesson, I always use much time on those words. What’s worse even I spend more time to recite them,I can’t get the great scorde on the exam. I am so sad on it ! Who can help me ? ~>O
To me, the most difficult thing about learning English is to recite many vocabularies. That is a big excruciation! I usually can??t write every letter exactly. I can??t do anything but make efforts as hard as I can. After all, I am a senior in high school. The more words I recite, the more score I get.
Learning english is a extremely difficult job to me.my english is so poor that I even can not distinguish english’s figures.My english vocaburary is few because I almost didn’t memorize words that teachers tought in the past.My listening ability is also terrible to death,and I can hardly progress.So is my speaking ability.\r\nEven though the desperate facts it is,I am still bound to make it better.As far as my abiliy to english is concerned,if I want to get better,I have got to put ten efforts as many as others do.
I found that I have many problems in learning English .For example ,when I wrote composition ,I often can’t figure out the words I want .Besides,I can’t speak English influently.Therefore,I want to modify my drawback.First of all,I deside to intense my vocabulory.I will write one the paper again and again. Second,I want to practice speaking Enlish loudly.Finally,do it persistently.Above all,I wish I can make progress in learning English .30610
When it comes to English,we often think it’s a foreigner’s lamguage. However,English is a international language. We can use it to communicate with people around the world. For me, I consider that it’s a trouble and hefty subject. Although I learn English from high school,I still cant’s talk to foreigner in English.In addition,I always can’t read magzine directly and clearly.\r\nTherefore, I decide to ready and scane as much novel and book as possible. And talk to teacher at tines. Last but not least,I ought to have a aggressive mind. I believe I can make it.
When I am learning English, I often think that’s not too hard for me. But I started to feel difficult since my high school began. The grammar and vocabulary were two big challenges for me. In order to prove my English ability, I started watch HBO more often and listen to foreign bands like Green Day. And I cultivated a new habit that was really a breakthrough—watch NBA. By doing so, my English listening ability really proved better than before and realized more and more words that I used to ignore to know. Now learning English is an interesting work for me, though my grades still not very outstanding, but I think that??s enough if I could learn the funniest part in learning English. 30602
As a proverb goes: where is a will, there is a way. Similarly when I learning English I had many challenge to overcome. At first, I was frustrated by my poor English. But my English teacher persuaded me never give up. Instead my negative attitude, I attempted to use the better attitude when I learning English. So I took my effort to learn English. My English capability promoted leaps and bounds. And I will use the positive attitude toward not only learning English but my life. 306 39
I have some difficulties when learning English. The biggest difficult I faced is that I usually spell those words wrong. I always struggle in the puzzle of alphabets, can??t get out of it. My vocabularies are also very poor. Even so many words I had memorized, I just can??t put them in my works. I was so upset about this. I am trying to change this situation, but all I can do is memorizing those words harder. Can I walk out the puzzle? I hope so.\r\n30607

I have some English problem ,when i leaned English i want to slept ,perhaps i hated to leaned English,magbe i contact English not enough,and i seldom try . so i think i was absorb in leaned English much.30638
It is difficult to learn English for me. Because I don’t love English and my high English teacher is very boring. It makes me have no interesting about English. I know that learning English is very important for today??s students. I have to change that.\r\nHowever, it is not easy to change. I will spend two hour reading English every day.
First, I am difficult to speak toward anyone; I am so scare and nervous when I am speaking. That??s so terrible! \r\nSecond, my vocabulary is too lack to watch competition. I feel setback on this area. I hope I will read more English paper and remember more words everyday for improve my English.\r\nThird, my grammar-ability is so bad. I can??t discern what the wrong or right option on the test is.30620
I have never encountered any difficulties in the subject of English until I entered senior high school .When I was in junior high school , I could always recite all the words right after English calsses . However , this ability declined soon because that I have been so lazy studying Eglish since I became a senior in high school . The difficulty bothers me the most is that I can’t even remember a half of the vocabulary in the textbook . I think all that I need to do right away is to pay more patience , to make more efforts , and always be confident in English .
My parents have let me learn English since I was in kindergarten. Therefore, I had never found it difficult in English learning. However, after I got up to the senior high school, grammar had became my biggest problem appeared on every English tests. \r\n\r\nIn order to solve this problem, I turned to my English teacher for advice. She told me two steps to improve my grammar. First of all, is to keep a little note book to write down every grammar equations that I have learned. Second, remember these equations before I go to sleep every night. After followed these steps for three months, I found out that my grammar has improved a lot.
When it comes to learning English,I deed had an experience.I came to fine pass about English.I through the vocabulary was so mush that I counld not remember them.what`s more the grammers were difficult as well.\r\n I paid many attentions to overcome the difficulties.I passed the dilemma.\r\nWhen I was free,I did nothing but reading English books or Englush novels.\r\nTo sum up,we could do anything, if we do our efforts.30623
When I learn English,I thing my vacabulary words are very poor.Therefore,when I wrote a comsition,I could not figure out the words immediately.I also made some grammar mistakes about “Chinglish".30611

When I was an elementary student, I started my journey of learning English. Learning foreign language is a happy thing, but my apprehension for my English is that I don??t have a large ambit of vocabulary, and my sense of preposition is poor. And most worst of all is that I always confound with similar worlds. It makes me made many ha-ha.30617
When it comes tolearning English,I have many duffculties. My vocabulary are tso little that I can not understand what it means when I reading compositions. And Ican not express what I want to say. Worst of all, I am affraid of English, no matter when I see or hear them. My teacher told me to make a notebook that I write in everything what Ido not know the words. Up to now, I have work hard to keep my poor English to be well.

Till now,I still have a big problem about speaking english. Even though I have learned English since I was 11, I am getting more and more afraid of faceing to an English-speaking foreigner. I think I am too shy to talk to a person I don’t know in English. However, I don’t like this situation. I’d like to change. I am trying to listen English to the radio ever day. I hope I will get better through this way. 30615

Since I learn English many years ago,I thought English wasn’t hard. However,I met a lot of difficulty on learning English in senior high school. The numbers of vocbularies were too heavy that I feel hard on learning them. But now,I discover a better way for me to learn. First , I read compositions one time, and usually, I find many strangy words for me.Latter, I will look up the meanings by dictionary.During the procedure,I can remember the words clearly.30605

I hope that my English grade could progress. \r\n30640
Everyone does encounter a few difficulties when lerning English, and so did I. As far as I was concerned, I encountered at least two harsh situations on my Engilsh studies. First of all, My English speaking was really poor. Furthermore, I usually make mistakes on spelling. In order to improve the above-mentioned weaknesses, I practiced English speaking with my foreign friends. Moreover, I also studied English more carefully. I hoped those methods to enhance my English ability.
Learning is an important thing to everyone. Today, English is an international language. It can enables us to communicate with people around the world. However, for people who not regards English as their native language is not an easy thing. And I am no exception. For me, I think I can not read English very well. I am afraid that I can not read it currently. Moreover, I don??t know much vocabulary that I can use.
The difficulties I have with learning English\r\n\r\n I have two difficulties with learning English. One is that I find it quite hard to understand what native speakers of English say. They always seemed to speak too fast for me to follow. When watching an English program or movie, I could hardly figure out what the foreigners talked about. Also, I was a slow reader while reading a long article in an English magazine or book. The other is that my English vocabulary was limited.\r\n \r\n Eventually, I make up my mind to get over these difficulties. My English teacher advised me to make good use of the English TV or radio programs. Also, I pay attention to the teacher’s pronunciation. To prove my reading skill, she suggested I should read intensively and extensively. I can have either a quick or a thorough reading. In other words, I??d better read as much as possible. Little by little, I have improved a lot both in listening comprehension and reading skill.\r\n 31002

Learning English for seven years, I had some troubles with learning English. Every time I recite new English words, I always forget them one day later. It is really difficult to remember all English words. If I find unfamiliar words in the article, I may think that I can??t understand the whole article. These are my difficulties with learning English.\r\n In order to solve these problems, I have tried many ways, but they don??t work. Finally, I find useful ways to solve them. After I recite new words, I close my book and then think. I try to think what words are in my memory, and if I remember them, I will cover them in my mind. When I see the words I don??t recognize, I will make a mark, and ignore temporarily. After finishing the article, I try to guess the meanings. In these ways, I can face the difficulties easily and learn English well.31012
I believe that there is no royal road for learning English, and each one has their individual difficulties on it. For me, the difficulty I have with learning is that I cannot memorize the vocabulary well.\r\n\r\nIn order to solve this problem, I have tried many kinds of ways. I find that there is no use for me memorizing like a robot. On the contrary, memorizing with pronunciation does me a favor. Since that day I began using this way, I have enlarged my English vocabulary by leaps and bounds. Finally, I am thankful for this way and the teacher who taught me. But for them, I could not have what English ability I have today.
In the process of learning English, I am frequently faced with difficulties. First of all, it is grammar. It has been a pain for me to learn grammar, for I haven??t got any idea of how to study it. People don??t speak of grammar in native speaking countries, but I understand that learning grammar aid us to understand the language easier. Secondly, I am lacking in writing skill. I often use English to communicate in oral way, so I didn??t pay much attention to expressing my thoughts by written. Therefore, when writing a formal English composition, I don??t have a clue of where to start form and I??m often far from my subjects.\r\nThe problems above have bothered me for a while. I have been searching for solution to improve my writing skills and defeat my fear towards grammar. It is not until my English teacher discipline me to recite model compositions that I start to know how to write. In addition, I start to copy notes by myself, and I realize how some basic grammar works. Then when I was asked to write English compositions, I won??t be so lost and confuse. I was impress how my writing skills has improved by constant practice. Therefore, I will keep reading good composition and doing notes, and hopefully one day, grammar and writing will no longer be my problems.
