Read the text and answer the questions. When I reflect on my journey of learning English, I realize how much it has evolved over time. As a child, I used to struggle with grasping the basics of grammar and vocabulary. Back then, my English study routine consisted of sitting at my desk with a stack of textbooks and a trusty dictionary. I used to spend countless hours flipping through pages, trying to decipher the meanings of-words and understand complex grammatical structures, One technique that I used to rely on heavily was making flashcards, I would create stacks of flashcards with English words on one side and their translations or definitions on the other. I used to carry these cards everywhere, pulling them out during spare moments to review and reinforce my vocabulary. Another method that I used to employ was listening to English radio broadcasts and watching English- language TV shows and movies. I found that immersing myself in the language helped me pick up on nuances of pronunciation and colloquial expressions. As I progressed in my English studies, I used to participate in language exchange programs where I would connect with native speakers to practice conversational English. These interactions were invaluable in helping me gain confidence in speaking and understanding spoken English. In recent years, technology has transformed the way I study English. I now have access to a plethora of language learning apps and online courses that offer interactive lessons and real-time feedback, While these modern tools have revolutionized my learning experience, I still find myself drawn to the traditional methods that I used to rely on. There’s something comforting about flipping through the pages of a well- worn textbook or jotting down vocabulary words on flashcards. Overall, my English study methods have evolved over time, but the dedication and perseverance that I used to demonstrate in my studies remain constant. 1.
