Since I am a rookie in AUO company in Shanghai in china, there are many new things for me to learn except english. I have just finished my college,Being greatly interested in english, I would abandon everything but it. All of my friends are chinese, so I almost have no chance to speak in english. To be honest, my english is not good, I'd like to improve it with all my best. Recently, a english training agency called me and advised me to attend their class. It is actually a opportunity, but eventually I have to refuse their kindness just because of its high tution fee. I hope you could give some advice, thanks.
