First of all, it wasnt easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked to the class. To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldnt understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesnt matter if you dont understand every word. Also I was afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmate might laugh at me.I couldnt always make complete sentences, either.later on 以后以后;隨后隨后be afraid to do sth害怕去做害怕去做 be afraid of sth/doing sth be afraid+that引導(dǎo)的從句引導(dǎo)的從句laugh at sb笑話笑話;取笑取笑(某人某人)complete adj. 完整的完整的;完全的完全的sentence n. 句子句子 make a sentence 造句造句first of all 首先首先;第一第一Then I started to watch English language TV.
