I think this task is very difficult at first because I was not using the English language for years
except just a little to read. However, after reading a few articles back I sure can use English again to
make a summary of the article. Although the language used is not accurate in grammar, I can read,
understand and then write in English back after a long time did not apply it in everyday life.
