二、［蚌埠模拟］任务型阅读。
I’m Bruce. Three years ago, I started working at the University of Leeds. After moving to a new city, I was looking for things to do that can help me to make some new friends. I noticed that a community school was offering Chinese evening classes. Without much thought, I signed up for a Chinese class.
There was one lesson a week, each lasting 90 minutes. Mr. Kong, the teacher, was an energetic man. For each class, he would teach us hundreds of new words. After each lesson, I felt it too difficult to continue. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to this. Between classes, I would try to review what I had learned until I understood it. Gradually, I began to realize that the more work I put into Chinese study, the more interesting I found it.
To make further progress, I planned to find a Chinese student to help me with my Chinese. Soon I met my new Chinese friend, Li Hua. He helped me practice my spoken Chinese and go over everything I had learned in class. Finally, I made it.
Although there are so many words and idioms in Chinese, I am confident to get over any difficulty and become good at Chinese.
