  My name is Jessica. I come from South Africa. Ten years ago, I began to go to a middle school in the USA because my family moved to California. I was not smart and I was very quiet. I was shaking like a leaf when the teacher asked me to have some shows in front of the class. My classmates did not want me in a group when we had groups to work. I didn't believe myself as before. I always copied my classmates' notes in the class because I couldn't understand the lessons.

   In order to improve my English, I tried my best to read a lot of English books and talk with my classmates in English,but it did not work well. I felt so frustrated about my English. My classmates said that a Negro(黑人)couldn't understand white people's culture.

    Those words hurt me a lot,and then I made a big decision. I dropped out of the school because I thought I was not really able to learn English at school any more. I tried to get a job, but it was very hard for me because of my poor English. I kept trying and trying. After a period, I finally got a job as a salesgirl in a store. As a result, my spoken English has improved a lot. Nowadays, there's almost no difference between Americans and me in pronunciation. I have learnt more from the experience. It is true that experience is the best teacher.

D.    The best way of learning a language is by using it.

 The English language is different from other languages. Yet English words do not stay the same. They are always changing. People need new words for inventions and new ideas.

  English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word " tomato" was borrowed from Mexico, the word " coffee" came from Turkey, "tea" from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are also made by adding two words together. The words "strawberry” , " postman”and " blackboard” are made up of two parts.

  Sometimes new words are short forms of old words.The word" photo" was made from "photograph" by cutting off the end of the long-word. The word "plane" was made by cutting off the front part of "airplane", while "smog" was using only the first two letters of " smoke" and the last two letters of " fog”. And " sandwich” was named after a man named Sandwich, and "jelly"(果冻)was a name made up by the company that first made this product(产品).
