國中英語基測出現過 read 的考題。

Read Amy's diary and answer the questions.

May 30, 2003

Today I met an American on my way home. He asked me some questions in English, but I couldn't understand him. I was nervous and couldn't say a word.

I felt so depressed.

I study English very hard and I usually get the best grades on the English tests. I am always looking for opportunities to practice speaking English. But when the opportunity comes, I can't do anything.

I think I have to study English much harder.
