【参考范文】
Nowadays, English is playing a more and more important part in our lives. And
because of this, many people are learning English hard.
We must have come across many problems in learning English, such as
vocabulary and grammar. To deal with them, many people come up with different
methods, for example, learning English should be based on our textbooks, and every
minute should be made full use of to read more. Gradually, you will find you have fallen in
love with English.
That’s all. Thank you.
