三. 日记

After I listened to took the online course "Talk to Your Child in English" told by Eric, I've learned a lot. The way I see it, we need to make the best use of every English learning material, rather than keep looking for the better one. And never ignore the simple materials, because it's often not easy to solve the simple problem. Plus, Eric said he would make us pay more attention to pronunciation and oral English in the course "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3". I couldn't agree more.
