12、Learning English in England 在英国学英语

I came to England last summer. I have been in England for eleven months. I am going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave for China next month.

去年夏天， 我来到英国。 现在我在英国已经待了十一个月了。 我将很快结束在英国的学习， 下个月我就将回中国了。

At first it was very difficult for me to communicate with other people in English. Now I can speak English much better, and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have helped me a lot. I have lots of English friends now. Some of them have even invited me for dinner at their houses. They are interested to learn about China and Chinese people. Every time they ask me a lot of questions, I realize how little I know about my own country.

一开始， 我觉得很难用英语和别人交流。 现在我英语说得好多了， 甚至可以看懂英语电视， 这是因为我学习很努力， 老师和同学对我的帮助也很大。 现在我有许多英国朋友。 一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家吃饭。 他们对中国和中国人很感兴趣。 每当他们问我许多问题时， 我才意识到自己对祖国的了解是如此之少。
