First notebook entry: Introducing Myself

I am Cathy. I was born in Foshan of Guangdong Province. I study in a university and major in Marketing. I started learning English when I was ten years old. I was interested in English and I always practice it. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting. I could express one substanceby using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literature and enlarge my knowledge.

We would say either "I started learning English when I was ten years old," or "I have been learning English since I was ten years old."

Practice is the American spelling. I believe the British spell it practise. Either can be correct depending on where you are, just be aware that English is a little different in each country that uses it.
