[多项选择]我学的是英语，以前从未接触过，学习的困难可想而知，失望与迷惘曾使我陷入痛苦的深渊。是如饥似渴的求知欲驱散了我内心苦闷的阴云，激励我从ABC开始，一步一个脚印坚实地朝前走。我自知 自己起步晚，便采取勤能补拙的办法，坚持每日清晨多读一小时，晚上多写一小时，平时身上也总装着一张写满单词的纸条，一有时间就拿出来念上几遍。在一次去食堂的路上，我边走边背，竟然一头撞在一棵树上，引得同学们一阵哄笑，我却无所谓地笑一笑，继续背诵单词。

I majored in English, which had been completely strange to me. It is imaginable what formidable difficulty I was faced with. For a certain period of time, I had been caught in the depth of misery because of despair and perplexity. It is my thirst for knowledge that broke up the dark clouds in my mind and encouraged me to learn English, from the very beginning, step by step with great perseverance. I knew clearly that, being a latecomer, diligence was the only means by which I could catch up with my classmates. So each day I spent one more hour reading in the morning and one more hour doing exercises at night than my classmates did. Besides, I always had a slip of paper in my pocket on which were written the new words, and whenever I was free I would learn them by heart. Once, on my way to the dining hall, I was so preoccupied with memorizing the new words that I bumped into a tree. It made my fellow students all roar, while I simply smiled it off and returned to my new words drudgery.
