He was at the top of his class for two years in his junior middle school as the English teacher was kind and patient and often praised all of the students. In his senior middle school, however, he lost his desire to say anything at all in English because the English teacher would punish anyone who gave incorrect answers. Although the college English teachers were patient and kind, he felt frightened and was lack of confidence since the classes were very large and many students spoke English much better than he did. The situation changed when he was offered a chance to study English through an online course. As a result of his hard work, he could communicate with many more people than before. Though learning a foreign language is frustrating, it is well worth the effort. 3. Pre-reading Activities Listening passage（听力原文） ???? English language learning is not easy and at times frustrating.
