The subject I like best in School


The subject I like best in School is English. I like English because it is not only a good tool for entertainment but also an important means of communication. For example, when I watch English movies or listen to English songs, I can understand what the lines mean, and this makes me happy. I have also made many friends from around the world on the Internet. We all communicate in English, the international language.
As I love Engish a lot, I pay much attention in all of my English classes, and I work hard memorizing as many English words as possible. In addition, I expose myself to this language as much as I can by reading Engish novels and listening to radio programs in English. Learning English was not easy at first, but because of my perseverance and interest, I am happy to say that my English keeps on getting better and better every day.
