Last year my English class was difficult for me. First of all, it wasn't  1  for me to understand the teacher when she talked to the class. To begin with, she  2  too quickly, and 1 couldn't understand every word. Later an. I realized that  3   doesn't matter if you don't understand every word. Also I was afraid to speak in class,   4   I though! my classmates might laugh at me. I couldn't always make complete (完整的) sentences, 5 . Then I started to watch English - language TV. It  6   me a lot I think that doing lots of listening  practice is one of the  7  of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I  8 very difficult was English grammar (语法). So I decided to  take lots of grammar notes  9  every class. Then I started to write my own original (原来的) sentences using the grammar i was learning. It's amazing  10  this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got  an A this term. My teacher is very pleased.
