The Life of an English Learner

Ravi is a young man who really wants to learn English. One day, Ravi went to take an English test at his school. When the teacher gave the test paper, Ravi started reading the questions slowly and carefully.

Then he saw one question that made him stop. He was not sure about the answer. He read the question again and again, but he still could not answer it.

If you think your English is good, then answer the question that was on Ravi’s paper.

The question was:

Which one is correct?

A) We had finished before he came.
B) We finished before he came.
C) We had finish before he came.

Write the correct option in the comments.

One evening, Ravi watched a simple video about learning English. The video said that English is a skill, and a skill grows with daily practice, not only with books. This idea stayed in Ravi’s mind. He decided to change his way of learning. The next morning, Ravi looked around his room and started to describe things in English. He said that the window was open and the air felt cool. He said that his bag was on the chair and his shoes were under the table. At first, he felt a little funny talking to himself, but he also felt free because nobody was judging him. For the first time, English felt like a friend, not an enemy.

Ravi also started to learn a few new words each day and use them in real sentences. When he learned a new word, he did not just memorize it, but he tried to say it in different sentences about his own life. If he learned the word “plan,” he would talk about his plans for tomorrow or his plans for the weekend. This helped him remember words better, and he began to enjoy learning.

Of course, Ravi still made mistakes. Sometimes he used the wrong tense, and sometimes he forgot simple words. A few people corrected him, and a few people laughed, but Ravi did not stop. He told himself that every mistake was a small step toward improvement. He realized that people who speak English well today also made many mistakes in the past.

After some months, Ravi noticed a change in himself. He could talk about his day in English for several minutes without stopping. He could ask simple questions and understand simple answers. His sentences were not perfect, but they were clear. More importantly, he was no longer afraid to try. His confidence grew little by little, like a plant growing every day with water and sunlight.

Now Ravi still learns English every day, but he does it with a calm heart. He knows that learning a language is a long journey, and every small effort matters. He believes that anyone can learn English if they practice daily, stay patient, and do not fear mistakes. Ravi’s story is simple, but it is real for many learners.

And if you are an English learner like Ravi, remember this: you do not need to be perfect to start, but you need to start to become better. Speak a little every day, learn a few words every day, and do not be afraid of mistakes. One day, you will look back and see how far you have come, and you will feel proud of yourself for not giving up.
