Paragraph: My English Class
Write a paragraph about your English class.
In our English class there are many people. Some are businessmen. Some have their own dry cleaning or nail shop. Some are retired and just want to improve their English. All of them had some English when they were in school, but they realize that they have to study more to be able to talk to their customers.
We practice English in various ways. Sometimes we read a book that is not too difficult, like a children’s book, and then translate it. Sometimes we read aloud to practice our pronunciation. Sometimes we write a letter or a short paragraph, like this exercise. Another good activity is to play a puzzle or a game, to get us thinking in English instead of our mother tongue. Sometimes we watch a TV program or a movie for listening practice. All these different activities help us to understand and use English better.
At the end of the semester, we have a little class party. In the summertime we can go somewhere and have a picnic. Otherwise, we just go out to a restaurant, or have a pizza party in the classroom. It all depends on what the class wants to do. No matter what, we learn English together and have fun doing it!
