How I Overcame my Difficulties in Learning English
To a Chinese, the task of learning English well is not easy. So I, like many other English learners, have met with difficulties in learning English during the past seven years. But I managed to overcome them and made much progress.
The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I found our my own way to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a new work again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. In fact, as long as I can read the word out, I can write it out. As to the meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling and meaning will be no problem. After all, we are learning English in order to use it.
Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty. But I have also got over it. I have not read lots of grammar books. But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English. By doing so, I came to gain “a sense of English language”. I began to gain a feel for which sentences are “good English” and which are not.
Finally, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day. I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English.

我是如何克服英语学习中的困难
在中国，学习英语的任务是不容易的。所以我，像其他许多英语学习者，在英语学习中遇到困难，但在过去的七年我设法克服，并取得了很大的进步。
词的拼写和意思可以说是我作为一个新手遇到的第一个困难。但我发现我们自己的方式来对付他们。至于拼写，我从来没有一次又一次地记住它，但试图找出其相关性良好。事实上，只要我能读出来的词，我可以写出来。至于意思，我很少背诵它的中文翻译，但往往把这个词到句，了解它的意思。此外，如果您相当经常使用一个词，它的拼写和意思是没有问题的。毕竟，我们学习英语是为了使用它。
语法和习语可能是另一个困难。但我也有过它。我没有读很多书。但我花了很多时间阅读文章的母语或英语专家写的。通过这样做，我来到获得“英语语感”。我开始有了感觉，这句话是“英语”而不是。
最后，我想说的是，克服这些困难需要毅力。在过去的七年我花了至少一个小时的英语每一天。我相信这是一个重要的原因就是我能够在学习英语的过程。
