The learning approach I use is learning with the help of visual aids. For example, I often use a world atlas (地图册) to find each country.

My favourite subject is English. I prefer to communicate with a partner in English rather than learn individually. I really enjoy chatting with my English friends online. Distance learning is of great benefit to my study because I can choose my own learning materials and practice English whenever I want. My learning goal is to communicate with foreigners fluently in the future.
