I enjoyed most of the classes,     1     but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home.     2     The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China.     3    然而, 用英语学习对我来说是一个巨大的挑战。There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology.     4    课堂讨论在英国很重要，but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes     5     I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.
