【参考范文】
I’m a senior student． I like English very much． Besides attending English lessons
at school， I Often go to the English corner in the park nears my home on Saturday
morning． It was set up （formed） two years ago． Many high school students gather
there． Sometimes， some college students and even foreign friends are present at the
English corner． There， we practice our spoken English， talk about what we are interested
in， exchange our experience in learning English and so on． I’ve learned a lot． I have
greatly improved myself in English since I visited it． It is really a great help to me．
