At the age of 15 when I was in the ninth grade ,I did badly in my English. So I was afraid of English and felt self-contemptuous. Then my dad had a talk with me. He encourged me to believe myself and try my best . Under the help of my dad and teachers. I cheered up and faced difficulties confidently. So I began to learn English carefully and did exercise every day. By now. I have made great progress in my English . So I think nothing is difficult if you take your heart into it and chat with your teachers and parents when meeting difficulties.
