On the afternoon of October 20th, 2015, Mr. Brown, paid a visit to our school. He gave us a wonderful speech on “How to learn English” in the Great Hall of our school. First of all, Mr. Brown gave us some good ideas about how to learn English well and encouraged us to study hard. Then many students got on the stage to communicate with him and he gave us some of his books and CDs for free. His speech was so good that it has made a positive effect on our English learning. We all like his speech very much.
