My First Experience

                                                       My First Experience
My first experience learning English was not fun. When I was 5 years old, my parents kept telling me I will leave China and go to the United States at one day. If i want to be successfully in there, I have to speed a lot of times to study English. During that time, my life became busy and boring. Let me tell your three examples how busy and boring about my life.  First of all, I had to wake up early in the morning because I had to go to school at 5:30 AM. My older sisters said go to school earlier is good for me. If I study in the morning wold help me to remember the words easily. Also, I had to read the English books at less two hours after school. My parents said it could help me to improve my reading skill but I hated reading. Reading will make me feel in sleep. Finally, I had to listen to the English radio for two hours before I went to the bed. So, I did not have time to play computer games as same as my friends. During weekend, my friends were playing together, but my parents did not let me to play with them. They didn't want me to waste my time to play. To sum it up, my first experience learning English made me feel unhappy.
