JOURNAL

Since I decided to study English be well this year, I stay away from other activities, I figure I spend some time learning English every day. How I wish I had such a situation when I was in school.

Today, I read an article about what mistakes Chinese schools have when they teach English. In my opinoin, learn English was a long way, the important thing is to persist, and the more important than that is vocabulary. Without words, you can't do anything, and reading is a good way to accumulate words.

I signed up for Eric's reading group next month, and I hope I can get a kick out of it.
