What problems do you have in trying to learn English in your middle school?Like most students of my age, I had to be faced with many problems in learning English, such as pronunciation, grammar rules, and cultural background. And the most frustrating one was how to memorize a large body of new words. As far as the college life is concerned now, however, my big trouble with English learning is that my class is very large and I have few chances to practice my spoken English in class. 2. What other things do you think we can gain through English language learning?As a most rewarding experience of mine, learning English can bring me a lot of benefits. To begin with, it can teach me the value of practice. The more practice I do in listening, speaking, reading and writing, the more progress I make in English. Besides, it can give me insights into other cultures, keeping my mind open to new ways of thinking. And above all, it can help me communicate with many more people than before. Now talking with people in English is one of my favorite activities. 2. Background KnowledgeOnline learning Online learning, a form of distance education, refers to learning and other supportive resources that are available through a networked computer. With the development of the Internet, online learning often takes place on the Internet. In an online lesson, the computer displays material (often in web browsers) in response to a learners request. The computer asks the learner for more information and presents appropriate material based on the learners input. Part II Reading Activities1.

Look at how the author writes in Paragraph 3. At first the author gives the topic of the paragraph-My Learning experience in senior middle school is different form before. Then he focuses on the cause. My former teacher had been patient, but my new teacher quickly punished the students. Next the author describes the effect.
