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

English. My pronunciation of English words was really bad and my English grammar

was worse. I did not know how to improve them. One afternoon, after the lesson my

teacher of English told me to wait for her outside the classroom. She took me to the

school library and 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 did not know that

only one year later I would win the first prize in the English Speaking Contest held for

secondary students in my hometown.
