    My name is Lisa. Because of my job, I often went to the United States. I often felt worried during my trip because I didn't speak English well. So I decided to learn English.

    I went to Mrs Brown's English class. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any Americans. But now I try to talk to Americans in English. And I like going to supermarkets, cafes and restaurants to talk with local people.

    I learn English in four ways. First , I listen to the teacher carefully and keep speaking in class. Second, I do my homework after I get home. I learn at least five words every day. Third, I listen to American radio and watch American TV programs. Finally, I surf the Internet to talk with different people in English.

     To learn English well, I think you must learn to open your mouth. For me that is the key to opening the door of learning English.

    Taiwan has nice natural landscape as well. Sun and Moon Lake is a beautiful lake. On one side of the island it looks like the sun, on the other side it looks like the moon.

It's a wonderful place to see a very beautiful sunrise. If you enjoy swimming, fishing, boating and eating delicious fruit and fresh fish, Peng Lake must be a good place to visit.

    There are many kinds of 1. transportation now. Which one do you like best, by train, by bus or by plane? Now let's look at these three kinds of transportation. 2.The fastest way to travel is by plane. If you want to save time, 3.乘火车是最好的选择. A plane ticket can also be easier to book, and there are 4.(hundred) of planes leaving half an hour to everywhere. But it is much 5.(expensive) than traveling by train or by car. Many people prefer to traveling together by train. Because the train is cheaper than the plane and you can see the beautiful scenery out of the windows. But sometimes people are very noisy on the train. And it's very small and crowded inside the train. Taking a car is great. You can feel freer in your own car and you can move quickly from place to place at any time you like. 6.But sometimes you may be late because of the heavy traffic  .You have to pay for a car park and petrol . Cars are less comfortable than trains. You can't sleep or relax when you drive. Cars pollute the air more than trains, too.

Last year, I went England to study for three months. The first station was Cambridge — a city is a university and famous the university. I visited some places of in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. To me, the thing to do in Cambridge is boating along the River Cam. It is really beautiful. I stayed with an English family as a guest. After class, we could take part in their daily life or take trips by ourselves. My English was poor but the family kept communicating with me in English. With their help, My spoken English improved . Day by day, I was more with my conversation with them. Then I got to London, the capital city of England it is also the busiest city in England, a population of 7.5 million and a history of 2000 years. On the middle and area, there are plenty of farms. The weather is fine all the year round and I notice the countryside is green everywhere! Time while I was in England. Soon Christmas came, we decorated the Christmas tree, wore new clothes tasted delicious food and said “Merry Christmas” to friends or even strangers. It was really amazing! The next day, I to return home, however, there was only one thing I didn't do: it was a pity that I didn't take the London Eye to see the whole city on the clear days!
