How Nam has improved his English.

pronunciation was really bad and my English grammar was worse. I did not know how to improve
them. I didn’t want my father and mother to know about this. One afternoon after the lesson, my
teacher of English told me to wait for her outside the classroom. She took me to the school library
and showed me cassettes of pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to
use an English- English dictionary to improve my English grammar. “Now I think you know what
you should do”, said she. I made much progress and only one year later, I won the first prize in the
English Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in my hometown.
