WRITING
Example:
When learning English, I find grammar the most challenging and I have
done several things to improve it. Firstly, I have a good grammar book. I do
the exercises in the book, and whenever I have a grammatical question, I
quickly refer to it. The book makes me more confident in writing and
speaking. Secondly, I read English books. When I read, I come across
different grammar rules. This helps me learn and remember grammar
naturally. Last but not least, I learn grammar from teachers and friends.
Sometimes I meet a difficult grammatical point and cannot understand it
even after I consult with my grammar book, so I ask my friends or teachers
for help. These are the three things I have done to improve my English
grammar.
