V. Read the following passage, then answer the questions.

In the first year of lower secondary school, I had some difficulties in learning English. My

English pronunciation was really bad & my English grammar was worse. I did not know about

this. One afternoon after the lesson, my English teacher told me to wait for her outside the

classroom. She took me to the school library & showed me cassettes of pronunciation drills

kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to use an English – English dictionary to

improve my English grammar. “Now I think you know what you should do”, said she. I made

much progress & only one year later, I won the first prize in the English Speaking Contest held

for secondary school students in my hometown.
