　　样板素材：

　　I would like to talk about the smart idea I had 1 year ago for improving my English. Talking in the English Corner。

　　I had really bad feeling about my Spoken English about a year ago. My pronunciation and tone were understandable but the irritating thing is that I couldn’t express myself with ease. For instance, I always felt frustrated about talking with others. 

　　I read English books loudly at home everyday, but actually it didn’t work at all. 2 months after my self-practicing, I came across an American asking for directions, I tried to help, but couldn’t say anything. Then I realized that I should spend time on real talking, not reading. An idea popped up in mind： Practicing in English Corner。

　　There was a big English corner around my campus and I could go there everyday. There were many English-speakers being surrounded by Chinese students who wanted to chat. English corner is a good place as where we may exchange English study experience, widen our sight and improve interest in English. I would grasp every chance to talk to foreigners there and if I kept on speaking English everyday, my language ability will be greatly improved. It won’t take too long, I would find that I could express my idea in English without difficulty. Everyone knows that practice makes perfect. English corner could help me to overcome the biggest problem---shyness, which accounts for 90% of my disappointment。

　　OK. That’s my way for improving English. I just started last month, hopefully I will succeed。
