Step3: Summary Writing

Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort. In junior middle school, my foreign teacher praised all of the students. I benefit a lot from this positive

teaching method. In senior middle school, the teacher always punished those who gave incorrect answers. So I lost my joy in answering questions and my desire to say anything at all in English. In college, I had no opportunity to speak in class. I felt intimidated. Online learning changed everything. Although it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course, I succeeded in foreign language learning. Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience. I have gained insights into another culture as well as the language points. V Writing Skill
