Sample:

While studying at university, we were required to learn another language,

besides English, and I found I was left no choice but to take up Japanese. I

was a slow learner, and had difficulty in learning at the very beginning. I came

up with an idea of finding a partner who could help me to get through, and I

made it. My classmate, Li, made it a rule for me to study with him every day,

during which we did kinds of practice standing outside the library where it's

lighted.

Li helped me find out I was weak in Japanese for I was not interested in it,

and Iwas a bit afraid of speaking out the basic fifty sounds in Japanese, which

equals to the twenty-six letters in English. Being not familiar with the basic

sounds, I could not spell words, which I remembered by rote. Knowing my

problem, he downloaded some pieces of Japanese songs, a bit easy ones, as

he knew I liked singing. He carefully noted the strange words, and taught me

part of a song each time, and I was left to learn by myself. Then he had me

review what I learned at class, to correct my pronunciation and to check my

spelling. It took about an hour to do that. Gradually, I found it's not so hard to

speak Japanese, and I did well in my exercise. Then one day he took me to a

class where I was made to watch an hour of TV series in Japanese, after

which I would be given two or three sentences from it, and the next day, I had

to practice with him. I kept on studying with him for half of term till I caught up

with my classmates. I was grateful for his help.

To learn a language well, as told by my teacher, I need to get myself exposed

to as much native language as possible. For example, I can read materials, watch or listen to programs in the language. I’m preparing for the IELTS exam,

and I have to study English hard to get the score which enables me to be

admitted to the ideal school I’ve applied for.

I’ve made it a rule to listen to BBC news everyday in the morning for an hour.

Days ago, I bought a radio to listen to the broadcasting. It’s convenient to

download various listening materials online, and to use a walkman or a phone

to play them. I, however, think the best way for me to do that is to use a radio.

For one thing, I can listen to the latest news daily. In this way, I can be

informed of what’s going on around the world. For another, I can focus on

listening by using a radio. With a walkman or a phone, I may listen to music

stored instead. Every morning, I carry my radio while walking to classroom.

On the first week, listening was quite hard, for I was not used to that. There

are so many strange words in the program, and the speakers talk or read

quite too fast for me to catch up. However, I feel I do better each day, with

which I’m satisfied. At the very beginning, I could only get some words, and

now I can understand several sentences in a passage. The variety of

programs on BBC is really attractive, of which I’ll never get tired. Listening on

radio helps me improve my listening and offers me a choice to know more

about the colorful world.
