English is a living language like any other languages. It is widely used all over the world. More and more people begin to learn English in order to be able to use it freely at work and learn from other countries. It is not easy for us to learn English well because we don’t have a good condition and our time is too limited. But where there is a will, there is a way. If we keep on speaking it and using it, we can learn it well. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. We should be active in speaking more. So long as we keep on using it, we can master it.
