【作文三】话题：英语（Unit2 English around the world）
写一篇题为 How I Overcome Difficulties in Learning English 的英语短文。写作任务：你是怎样克服困难学好英语的？①你在英语学习中有哪些困难？ ②你是如何克服这些困难的？
审题构思 注意以下几点：
1. 存在的困难。在短文的第一段就应该写出“我”在英语学习中存在的问题，比如受家乡话发音的影响,/r/音和/l/音不分；记忆力差，很难扩大词汇量；阅读速度慢，不能在规定的时间内把试题做完等。
2. 采取的措施。在第二段中，要简单说明“我”是如何克服这些困难的。如通过勤学苦练，尝试其它不同的学习方法，或者向老师、同学等寻求帮助等等。
3. 说明的方法。我们可运用举例说明法，把学习中的困难和解决的办法列出来。
4. 心得与体会。唐僧师徒四人历尽磨难终于取得真经，那么当你成功地克服了英语学习中的困难后，必定也会充满成就感，总结出心得体会。何不简要点出来与各位朋友分享呢？
I had many difficulties when I started to learn English. Since I come from Chaoshan District, I could not tell / r / from / l /. Because they sound exactly the same in my dialect, I had great difficulty in telling “right” from “light”. My poor memory was another challenge for me when I decided to enlarge my vocabulary. I could only remember the English words for a while. In order to tell the slight difference between / r / and / l /, I forced myself to practice a lot every day. Whenever I started to speak English, I reminded myself of the difference between “right” and “light” as well as “read” and “lead”. At first I felt it rather unnatural, but soon I got used to speaking in this way. As for my poor memory, I gave up mechanical memorization and tried many other ways. Finally I found a most efficient way for me: memorizing English words by their syllables and pronunciation. This is how I succeeded in overcoming the difficulties in learning English and now I have a stronger belief in the proverb that where there is a will, there is a way.
