At a gathering of students from China and some other countries, Yang Weiping and Virginia Wang, both first-year college students, are talking about their learning of English. Hello, my name is Yang Weiping. I'm a freshman at Peking University and I'm majoring in chemistry. At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States. I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can. Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job. I've been studying English since high school. I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult. When I graduate from the university, I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.
