I often hear some students say English

is difficult， and it gives them a headache. So they cant learn it well. But English is very easy for me. Im good at it. Im very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First， I think an interest in English is

very important. When I was in Grade One， we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it， so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was！After that， I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs. The songs sound nice. So I often think how interesting English is！

Second， I think since English is a foreign language， I should learn it well in the following ways： Listen to the teacher carefully， speak bravely， read aloud and have a good vocabulary. Then practice again and again， never be tired. And I also have a good habit： Asking whenever I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand！

Besides， I often read English stories，jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting， but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.

And I also do some exercises from our

class magazines， and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.

Now I have learned English for more

than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words， I hope every student can learn English well.
