I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m 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. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think 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 this, 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.

Once there was a famine （饥荒） in the town． A rich and kind baker （ 面包师 ） sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children． He said to them， "In this basket， there is some bread for you． Each of you can have one loaf（一条面包） every day until the hard days end．"
The impatient children couldn't wait to gather around the basket． They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf． At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman． But Shirley， a poorly﹣dressed little girl， did not join them．
Instead， she remained standing modestly in the distance． When the other children left， she took the smallest loaf left in the basket， kissed the gentleman's hand and went home．
The next day the children were as rude as before． Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf． When she got home， her mother cut the bread open． Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it． Her mother was very surprised and said， "Take the money back to the good gentleman at once， for it must have got into the loaf by accident． Be quick， Shirley! Be quick!"
