2. What do you find most challenging about learning English How do you deal with this
As to me/Personally, I find it hard to write in an elegant way. When I write, it is challenging to organize my sentences together.
It is essential to take effective ways to solve the problem. On the one hand, I spend enough time in practicing English. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. On the other hand, reading English magazines is also a good way. To sum up, it is not easy to learn English. But we can take measures to make it easier.
