2. Auditory
3. Reflective
        There are a few ways I prefer for learning. Usually there are a lot of ways for learning, but I think that choosing some appropriate ways to study are very important. They can help me quickly improve. First of all, I like a visual learning style. I think that it is a easy and general way to study. I can read books, auxiliary materials, and magazines anywhere. I use my eyes to see and understand other things. PCC Library provides several levels books for students that can quickly improve my vocabulary quantity.  In addition, I am good at auditory learning style. Listening can make us understand what we want to know. We listen to others, and learn with teachers. It make our listening more and more good. I listen to the radio, a CD, and TV that it practice my listening a lot. Last of all, I like a reflective learning style. When I see a thing, it gives me an image in my brain. I can make it connect with knowledge that I studied. I can try to describe in new language when I see something. Also, I can try to talk with other people who can speak English. This way can practice my reflective ability. In conclusion, appropriate learning ways can improve my level of English very much.
