58,this was my average mark of English in senior high school. 105, this was my English mark of university entrance examination. To me, it was a miracle.
Duting my senior highschool years, my English was very poor. Because of that, I did not like English. I never memorized any words; I never read any English articles; I never listened to English CDs. Sometimes, I would sleep during English classes. I hated English. I hated it.
However, even though I did not like it; even though my English was poor, I still had a dream. I dreamed that one day, I could speak fluent English with native speakers; I dreamed that I could understand English news on TV; I dreamed that one day, I could read Jane Austen in English. But it was a dream. It would never come true.
One day, my friend said to me:” I want to work hard, I want to get high marks in English, I want to be a miracle.”
“Can I be a miracle? “I asked myself, “Maybe I can.”
From that day on, l studied English in a positive way. l listened to English radio; l listened to it on the way home; I listened to it when I slept. Besides listening, I began to read English articles and newspapers. From that day on, I never sleeped during English classes. It was very hard for me, but I did not say, “I don’t want to study any more.” I did not know that doing these things could help me get higher marks in English. I just knew that it was good for me.
105, to you maybe it does not seem like a very high mark, but to me it was a miracle. Today, I still can’t speak fluent English; I still can’t understand English news; I still can't read Jane Austen. However, I believe that my dream will come true in the future.
This is the biggest challenge I have encountered in my studies.
