Learning a foreign language is a hard work. It is a long, sometimes boring and slow process. Every day you should devote your time and efforts to learning. The most difficult thing is that English is very different from your own. And of course a native language has a powerful influence on a person.Eveyone asks when it is better to start studying. It is easy when you
a child. You are open for knowledge and you think more about learning
than about other problems. When you are an adult it isn’t so easy. It requires much patience,
time, efforts. As for me I start learning at school. But I was fool and
didn’t work hard. When I had entered the university I met a wounderful
teacher of English. She made me learn this language. Today English and
me are the best friends. I’d like to say some words about my studies. I
had 3 lessons a week. I had to learn the ABC, transcription, sounds
again. Then from lesson to lesson I learnt new words, grammar rules,
conversational phrases. Some of them I learnt by heart.
I tried to listen much in English. I watched films, different
videos, listened to music in English. It helped me much. I read and
translated texts every day, did many grammar exercises.I’d like to give you some advice how to be succeed
in studying. The most important thing is to be patient. You will see
that you have to repeat new words again and again. When you are able to
use them automatically, you should take another group and do the same.
Some people have an idea if they memorise long list of vocabulary
they will learn the language. It is much more. You have to put your
attention to grammar. After you can use the grammatical structures, you
can enrich your vocabulary.I think learning foreign languages is very useful nowadays. You can
communicate with people all over the world, you can know the culture
and, of course, you will become a well-rounded and educated person. The more languages you speak, the more times you are a human being. So I can really say that English in my life
plays a very important role. I have a good job with high salary. I can
travel abroad and communicate with others without any problems. I can
use internet easily , read different manuals and understand them. My outlook
has become much wider. Of course, my english is not perfect. I have
some problems. But I continue studying every day. Practice makes
perfect.In conclusion I’d like to admit that at first English may seem
easy. But there is a bridge between basic knowledge and mastery. And it
takes a long time across. But remember that English has become an
international language. To know it is absolutely necessary for every
educated man, for every good specialist.
