I began to learn English when I was 13 years old. I was a middle school student.The Culture Revolution was just over and the university entrance examination was restarted that year.All the young people were studying hard so as to pass the examination.

Although English was not a required subject at that time,we already had English lessons. Our first English teacher was an elegant woman. Her voice was so attractive that English sounded extremely beautiful to me. 

Many people thought that she was kind of arrogant,but that's not true. She was just too elegant to be loose enough to get along with the people in that little town. 

Anyway I liked her and I could feel she payed more attention to me than to other students.
