English is my favorite subject. And I?m well at it. Here is some ideas about English learning. In English classes, we should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes when necessary.

We should work in groups with our classmates help and learn from each other. Of course, it?s also very important to believe in themselves. Speak English loudly in front of the class and never be afraid of make mistakes. In this way, we can make greater progress in no time.
Last weekend, I visited the Sun Park with my friends. Just the day ago, I had bought a new camera. It was not until we arrived at the park then I realized I had left them at home.

My friends sent me copies of the photo the next day, but it was not that bad. Forget my camera taught me a good lesson--- I should check to see if I have everything each time I step out of door.

In fact, they?re not fish, though they started their lives in water pools by the seashore. They can take care themselves even when they are young. Young starfish know what to eat with. Some starfish can later live deeply in the sea, they move by use their legs and feet. A starfish has no head and tail, just its five legs. If a leg fall off, it grows right back. The amazed starfish has now become my favorite animal.
Mr. Wang is one of my favorite teacher in middle school. He wants his students understand what they are learning, and not just to learn things in heart.

Besides, he always made himself available to help students. Every time I go to my office he is
there and willing to teach students as many as they want to know. I have been learned many great things from Mr. Wang. He is a truly excellently teacher.
