Read the following passage, then answer the questions. 

In the first year of lower secondary school, I had some difficulties in learning English. My English pronunciation was really bad & my English grammar was worse. I did not know about this. One afternoon after the lesson, my English teacher told me to wait for her outside the classroom. She took me to the school library & showed me cassettes of pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to use an English – English dictionary to improve my English grammar. “Now I think you know what you should do”, said she. I made much progress & only one year later, I won the first prize in the English Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in my hometown.
