I believe that if there is something hard for you try to accept that challenge in a positive way, then you could win it. Conversely, if you do not move forward, then there is only a little opportunity left for you. We gain everything and the way we grow is always because of positive attitude. I agree with this because I had that kind of experience myself, and after I tried it in a positive way, then I can look back, and see that I overcame a problem which I didn't believe I could.
I've been studying in United States for about two years. When I first came here, I couldn't speak English clearly and I can't understand what the teachers talked about in class and meeting. I was really scared. I felt like I have been threw to a different world: Not only the people look different here, the language they speak look much more different. I was envious that how they speak that kind language so fluently, and every time I saw they talked and laughed I was wondered that what kind of way they communicate? It looks impossible for me to speak like them. Maybe some day? Or never. I thought, if I even can't understand what teachers are talking about everyday, then I don't have any reason to stay here. Then I wanted to try and change it. When I was in China, my English was really bad. When I was in primary school, I hadn't passed any of my English tests. I am from Harbin, which is the biggest city in Siberia and also the Northeast part of Asia. It's really close to Russia, the shortest time we go from my city to Russia is just about one hour. So there are huge Russian influences in there. In the other cities of China, schools teach English as our second language and the most important language course. But in where I am from, lots of schools teach Russian as our second language. Although this is not a good excuse, but I still didn't believe that there can be some changes about my English. But I have to try. Then I started to ask teachers about all the questions that I didn't know. I stopped my classes by lots of questions, and I tried to speak. Every time when I met the questions and discussions that I know, then I stood up and tried to talk. Although I couldn't speak for a whole sentence by myself and I have to use my phone as dictionary, but I got experiences from that. I chose not to care about how others taunted about me.
Three months has past, the results of this hard time is finally I can basically understand about my classes, and I can speak English clearly and easy to let others to understand. There was one day, that I was sitting in class and listened to class as usual. Suddenly I felt that I didn't listen to what people were talking but I can understand them. I can't describe how shocked , unreal and surprised I was. Before, I was sitting there and paid 100% attention to listen, but only about 30% of the information I could get. Until now, every time I remembered this, I feel really appreciated about these three months. I overcame my difficult problems, and got on the way to get better. I think this a kind of mode, which can be used in doing everything. Once we tried and insisted, then we would be on the way of success.
