My best friend

李劍橋?黎土荷

My best friend is Liu Zhangtao ?He is thirteen years old .He is of medium build and handsome .He has short straight hair and he doesnt wear glasses .He is good at football ，but he ?is weak in English .He has been learning English for five years .I think it is difficult to learn English well for him.The biggest problem is his spoken English .He is a shy boy and He is afraid to speak English in public.He never puts up his hands in class.In his free time ，He never talks with classmates or friends in English .Hes a slow reader.while reading ，He always tries to translate every word into Chinese .When he meets any word he doesnt know .He has to stop to look it up.I dont know why .Every day he spends lots of time on new words and texts ，But he hasnt get good grades yet.

With the help of Miss Li.He gets much progress. “Dont be shy ，have a try”.“You can do it” Miss Li encourages him to say out loud in class. ?She invites Liu Zhangtao to join the English club .we also talk with him in English when we meet. We read English story books and sing English songs ?together .we watch English movies or chat on Internet in English on weekends.

Now hes active in class.Everyone says hes a sunshine boy.
