    Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so quickly {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I didn't understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because I didn't know {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to pronounce words correctly. I just hid, behind my textbook and never said {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning {#blank#}6{#/blank#}listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to language learnning. I also learned useful {#blank#}8{#/blank#}like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right". I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked {#blank#}9{#/blank#}up in a dictionary.

    Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have {#blank#}10{#/blank#}better understanding of English movies.
