    On Friday，our teacher told us that there would an English corner in front of our teaching building．I set about soon after the l ast class in the afternoon．

    To my joy，the English corner had just been on for a few minute．I joined them on their talk．At first，I was afraid that my English was so poor and limit that I couldn’t follow them or make myself understanD． I was also afraid that anyone might la ugh at me．But a smiling face here or an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease．Though I speak to them only in simple English that day，I believe in future I will make a greater progress．

Answer

1.在would前面加上

2.about → out/off

3.minute → minutes

4.on → in

5.limit → limited

6.understand → understood

7.anyone → someone

8.or → and

9.speak → spoke

10.去掉progress前面的a

【解析】

1.1】be. would是情态动词，在其后要用动词原形，故加be。

2.2】根据上下文的意思，要用set out/off ，出发的意思。

3.3】名词minute被前面的a few 修饰，故用复数形式。

4.4】固定搭配join in，参加，加入的意思。

5.5】根据句子的结构，由前面的poor可知此处也必须是一个形容词，故用limited。

6.6】make oneself understood 为固定搭配，让自己被理解的意思。

7.7】本句是陈述句，故不用anyone而用someone，表示某人的意思。

8.8】根据文意，这里的并列连词应该用and，表示“而且”的意思。

9.9】根据上下文，可知全文都是用一般过去时的。

10.10】progress 为不可数名词，故前面不能用不定冠词a。
