D. I was very excited when I knew I was going to New Zealand because I had never been there before. I
didn’n think about the problems of speaking English until I met my host family. At first I couldn’t
communicate with them because my English was so bad. All the 8 years I had been learning English wasn’t
much used at all, because we didn’t have real practice at school. Even though my grammar was good, but my
pronunciation wasn’t. My host mum helped me a lot by correcting my bad pronunciation. I usually practiced
by talking to myself when I had a shower, so no one could hear me. After 4 months my English was much
better.
