A short story--on learning English

No one will laugh at you in learning but you youself!

    My friend wants to learn English, and she tried to pass to examine of the university, while she's graduated from high school for one year.

    She has a great interest in the life of the university, and she always asks me to talk about it. One day, I found her writting something and I walk along to her: she was studying the grammer- the using of "it". I wanted to show my appreciate and tried to tell her get on, however, she covered it when I come by. I confused.

        "what are you doing?"

          "Nothing."

      she answered with a litter shame. I didn't know why, did me find her "secret"? I just wanted to say "sorry", she replied:" Pls don't laugh at me." "I'm sorry for your understanding, I did not do that. Why do you think in that way?" Then she told that her English was not good and was a little shame in learning English before others. That's the point why you do not make any progress in the oral and written English, you should have a try, till you accept your mistakes and corret it. And I told her that  No one will laugh at you in learning but you youself!

   Now, some friends just applied me a few words. When I said to him, you should try your best to show your English, then you'll find your mistake and you may make some progress. You should try to tell some story to your friends, that's very appreciate instead of the "shameful thing" you think of that result from your friends…

  No one will laugh at you in learning but you youself! Remerber it, in your first steps of English learning…

Trying to study is a fresh and interesting thing,we should think it in an normal way without the special attitude to this matter. Take another angle of it, you'll not laugh anybody and be laughed by anybody! It's a serious bussiness, we should change our views,while we should encourage each other to study harder and make further progress! That's we should choose to do in future!

Good morninig, everyone!

The story is much helpful for me to study english. Because we usually work hard to remeber the words , and  don't  open mouth to speaking english.  So my oral english is quite poor.

Yesterday,  one customer from Nepal was in our office and chatted with  us. Because the weather is colder and colder,  i have put feather clothes.  I just aksed him,  " you are so cool, just take black coat.  I have taken leather coat" , Then he pointed  my hand , said "Haha,   your hand is soft leather" .  i was awared to make a mistake.

 

It is " feather ", not " leather"

I think  i can remeber  the two words forever.

Learning english is  my happy life ,  if you don't laugh  yourself  , anybody can laugh you.

Good lucky!
