阅读表达（共5小题，每题2 分，共 10 分）
Lisa is from London and is now working at a university. She shared her story of learning Chinese.
Three years ago, I started working at the University of Leeds. After moving to a new city, I was looking for things to do which can help me to make some new friends. I noticed that a community school was offering Chinese evening classes. Without much thought, I signed up for a Chinese class.
There was one lesson a week, each lasting 90 minutes. Mr. Kong, the teacher, was full of energy. For each class, he would teach us hundreds of new words. After each lesson, I felt it too difficult to continue. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to this. Between classes, I would try to review what I had learned until I understood it. Gradually (逐渐地), I began to realize that the more work I put into Chinese study, the more interesting I found it.
To make further progress, I planned to find a Chinese student to help me with my Chinese. The University of Leeds had more than 600 Chinese students. So it was not difficult to find one. Soon I met my new Chinese friend, Li Hua. She helped me practice my spoken Chinese and go over everything I had learned in class. Finally, I made it.
Although there are so many words and idioms (习语) in Chinese, I am confident (自信) to get over any difficulty and become good at Chinese.
1．Where is Lisa from
2．What did Lisa think of her Chinese classes at the beginning
3．How did Lisa make further progress in Chinese study
4．What does Lisa think of her Chinese study now
5．What lesson can we learn from the passage Use an English saying to express.
