 I study many subjects at school. But best of all I like English. I am very grateful to (1) my English teacher who evoked my interest in this subject. She always speaks about the importance of learning foreign languages. English is not difficult for me and I cope with all home tasks without any effort.
   But I try to do my best by reading and learning additional (2) texts and words to improve my knowledge of English. I am fond of English literature and read a lot of stories by English writers. It is difficult for me to read the books in the original (3) and I read adapted (4) ones. I have many cassettes at home and try to listen to them as much as possible.
   After finishing school I am going to enter the Foreign Languages Department of a Pedagogical University. That's why I work hard at my English on my own.
   Some of us do not want to read much in another language and do not want to take a foreign language examination, but everyone likes to be able to speak it. In that case it is a good thing to join a conversation club whose aim (5) is the use of the language in everyday situations. Ordinary English lessons and the conversation club meetings will help us to learn to express our opinions and feelings, to give and receive information, to say what we want to say. I like my English lessons very much and attend them with great pleasure.
