8. “Library is good place to teach yourself to learn more English.
The first step in library with my classmates was with my teacher
Michele Cona. That trip was very wonderful .
In library we found all help with library clerk . After that we make a
tour in the library . We found the books about English language and
the video, and there many way to learn English like : audiobook,
videocassette , DVDs ... as we ask the library clerk about any thing if
we don't know it.
After that we got the library card . It became for us to use it for many
way to learn English like, How to borrow a book a video, How to
return any thing you borrow.
Really, library is a good space to make yourself better with English.”
