School Year: 2024- 2025

When learning English, I find grammar the most challenging and I have done
several things to improve it. Firstly, I have a good grammar book. I do the exercises
in the book, and whenever I have a grammatical question, I quickly refer to it. The
book makes me more confident in writing and speaking. Secondly, I read English
books. When I read, I come across different grammar rules. This helps me learn and
remember grammar naturally. Last but not least, I learn grammar from teachers
and friends. Sometimes I meet a difficult grammatical point and cannot understand
it even after I consult in my grammar book. In this case I ask my friends and
teachers for help. These are the three things I have done to improve my English
grammar.
