爱华网Like any other English learner, I met a lot of difficulties in learning English.
First, I found it difficult to understand what I read because most English words have more than one meaning. Besides, I found it difficult to write in idiomatic English or put Chinese into idiomatic English. Finally, I couldn't express in English orally because I had no opportunity to communicate with native English speakers. Although I often read aloud, this didn't prove to be an effective way to improve my spoken English.
But I didn't lose heart in removing these obstacles. I tackled English vocabulary in two ways. First, I tried to understand and memorize the specific meaning of a word that appears in the context. Second, I enlarge my vocabulary by learning the dictionary by heart. To overcome Chinese English, I tried to think in English directly. Although I still had no opportunity to communicate with native speakers, I improved spoken English by listening to the English broadcast and writing English composition. This expedient turned out to be effective.
和其他同学一样，我在学习英语时也遇到了不少困难。
首先，我发现我在阅读理解上有困难，因为大多数英语单词的意义不止一个。此外，我发现自己写不出地道的英语，或者将汉语翻译成地道的英语。最后，我的口语不行，因为没有机会和老外交流英语。虽然我经常大声朗读，可这没多大用处。
但是遇到困难我没有气馁。我找到了两个方法克服英语词汇的问题。首先，我尽量结合语境，来理解和记忆单词的具体含义。其次，通过认真学习字典，我增加了词汇量。为了克服中式英语的毛病，我力求以英语思维进行思考。尽管我还没有机会与英语母语的人交流，但是通过听英语广播和写英语作文，我的英语口语水平有所提高。说明这个权宜之计是有效的。
