There were no words which I had not to memorize. I had to memorize all words.

So I could not read sentence. I study English in my college. English is my second language. I study speaking, writing, listening, reading of English. I don't like English even now, but I want to complete English Because I thought that it is strange I have learned English long time and not to use English.
