I contact with the English is when I was 6 years old. I first came to United States, I was very young, and I didn’t know any English. I get my favorite doll go with me, it can make me feel little bit insecure. When I first time come to new school I feel nervous, when I going to my classroom I feel more better because there have some Chinese students and my teacher also very nice to me. My teacher voice is gentle,and gently, like the breeze brushed my cheek. But I still very tension because I don’t know any English even the ABCDEFG and I don’t know what the teacher and classmate saying. And teacher give homework I didn’t know how to do it, when I back home I cry very long time. I tell my mother I say “I don’t want to go to school anymore, I didn’t understand what they say I be afraid to talk to them.” But my mom told me “one thing are more difficult the more we need to going to try to finish it, do not try to escape, otherwise you will never grow up.” Suddenly I felt my mother is like a glittering Buddha statue, because before she did not say any much philosophical words. After I listen my mom say I try to learn English, the teacher also very nice she help me a lot. And every day I write 10 vocabulary in the card I learn it, I doing that every day, and take with my classmate, keep taking English. I use one year I can very fluent take with my teacher and classmate using English.
