Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort. My experience with learning a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years. When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior middle school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all of the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers.
學習外語是我一生中最困難也是最有意義的經歷之一。儘管在學習的過程中時常遭遇挫折，但是卻非常有價值。 我學外語的經歷始於國中的第一堂英語課。我有一個慈祥耐心的老師，她時常表揚學生。由於這種積極的教學方法，我踴躍回答各種問題，從不怕答錯。兩年來我的`成績一直名列前茅。 到了高中後，我渴望繼續學習英語。然而，高中時的經歷與以前大不相同。
以前，老師對所有的學生都很耐心，然而新老師卻總是懲罰答錯的學生。
