| We all know that English is an international language. Therefore, I was looking for a good English class after my O/L examination. Then one of my friends told me about this class. Actually, this class is useful for improving my knowledge of English. Our teacher is very friendly and he is good at teaching English. I think I am very lucky because I met a clever teacher. We know that English is not only a subject but also a language. Today, we can't do anything without English. As students, we should have a good knowledge of English; otherwise, we can't achieve our goals. I am happy to say that now I can manage this language.|

| We all know that today we can't live without learning this language. As students, we must learn this language; otherwise, we have to face a lot of challenges. I think I am very lucky because I have a talented teacher. I remember that I couldn't speak English when I joined this class, but I could learn so many things within a short period of time. Now I have a good vocabulary and I always try to learn new things. I sometimes read books and watch English movies. I do a lot of things to be fluent in this language. I sometimes make mistakes when I speak in English, but it is not a problem because English is not my mother tongue. I am still a beginner in this language. You know, today we can't live alone. We have to deal with other countries in the world. I think now I can clearly understand why we should learn English. However, Some students still think learning English is challenging. They haven't understood the importance of this language yet. I think every student should learn another language except their mother language.|
