Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. But I was afraid to ask questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like”It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.

去年，我不喜歡我的英語課堂。每節課就像壹場噩夢。老師講得太快，我聽不懂她大部分的時間。但我害怕問問題，因為我的發音。我只是躲在我的課本，什麽也不說。 然後有壹天，我看到壹個英文電影?玩具總動員?。我愛上了這個令人興奮而有趣的電影！所以我也開始看英語電影。雖然我不能理解人物所說的壹切，他們的身體語言和他們臉上的表情使我知道其意思。我也意識到我可以通過只聽關鍵詞知道其意思。通過聽英文電影對白我的發音也有所改善。我發現，聽壹些有趣的東西是語言學習的秘密。我也學到了有用的句子，如“小菜壹碟”或“妳活該”。我起初不明白這些句子。但因為我想了解故事情節，我會查字典。現在我真的很喜歡我的英語課堂。我想學習新單詞和語法，因而可以更好地理解英語電影。
