Years ago, I went to a special English class because it was the only school subject that I wasn't good at. I got excellent marks because of my fine memory  . I could read and translate any text that I heard once but I couldn't make my own   sentences. My face usually turned red when my teacher wanted me to answer questions in English. A few months later, I had to pass an exam. I couldn't _ the novel with my own words, so I decided to learn the book by heart. I told my teacher 10 pages of the book. When the teacher understood what was happening, she stopped me and said, "Gagik, you have a fine memory, but it's much easier to speak English." That day on my way home, I met a foreigner. He couldn't find the way to his hotel. To my surprise, I spoke to him in English and helped him find his hotel. I found speaking English was not so difficult if I didn't think too much about making mistakes. I thought that was the secret of learning to speak English. How happy I was! What was the writer's problem in learning English?
He couldn't read any text. He couldn't translate any text. He couldn't make his own sentences. He couldn't learn the book by heart.
