Practice Makes Perfect The dramatic ballad student, who later became a great performer, could not stand the repeated boring practice which was to lead to his very success in his career. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Consistent practice can result in perfect performance. Practice is of great importance in doing anything. Take my personal experience in learning English for example. Three years ago, I had great trouble with listening comprehension. I couldn¡¯t understand the teacher in class. This was obviously due to my lack of practice. To improve my listening, I started to read English aloud every morning and listen to tapes and radio programs every evening. My efforts paid off and in the final examination I did an excellent job in listening. I strongly believe that practice makes perfect. Whatever we do,we should persist in it and keep on working until we are successful.
