5. The following is a student’s essay in which the author us a mixed style. Revi the essay, making it consistent in style.
Practice Makes Perfect
A famous saying goes that “practice makes perfect”. It means that when people are learning to do something new, they will be good at it only after having lots of practice over and over again.
I have had such experiences for many times. In learning English it’s especially true. To learn English well, we must read more, speak more, listen more and write more. At the beginning, I couldn’t speak English fluently, so I took every chance to practice, such as g
oing to the English corner, talking to foreigners, reading English aloud in the morning, and even speaking to mylf, from time to time. I kept the practice for a long time and to my delight, my spoken English was much better than before. It’s also the same in English listening and writing.
Another example, when people first learn to type, they are not familiar with the keyboard and can’t type very fast. As long as they keep on practicing, they are sure to learn the skill and type fast enough.
I like the saying – practice makes perfect, which encourages me to practice more till I reach perfectness.
