My first english lesson

My first english lesson began at this afternoon. I reported my work of this week to my partner. He asked me some questions. I felt that it's easy to understand the english spoken by chinese, but it's diffcult to understand the english spoken by american, even though they speak slowly. My partner let me translate a chinese story to english about a talk between a man and a cat. Oh, it's too hard. I think, it's more difficult than CET4.
