Describe a person who learned a foreign language well.
You should say:
Who this person is;
What language this person can speak;
What he learned this language for;
And explain why he can master this language

50.擅长外语的人（我的高中同学英语很好。他现在在大学学的是英语专业，曾参加过大学英语辩论赛，得了第三名。其实在高中时候他就可以和外教无障碍交流。他能为了学习英语，每天早上5点起床练习说英语，我想这是他之所以英语好的原因。）

Well …off the top of my head, the first person that comes to mind is my high school classmate, Tom342. Besides the fact that we went to the same high school, I live practically within spitting distance of his house and I hang out with him a lot, so it’s safe to say that I know him pretty well. He’s literally the first person that I can think of who speaks a second language really well.

Tom is majoring in English at his university. It’s hardly an exaggeration to say that he’s a straight A student. That kid343 is a genius, and especially has a knack for spoken English. He even took part in a National English Debating Competition and won third place.

Actually even in high school, Tom was one of the best speakers in our class. He didn’t seem to face a language barrier344 when he talked with the foreign teacher in our English classes. I was always blown away by how he spoke English so well.

Tom used to tell me he wanted to be a professional interpreter. He’s been working hard to achieve his dream ever since I met him. Not long ago, I saw a video that he posted of himself practicing English at 5am. His level of dedication and commitment345 is just above and beyond346 what most students aim for. I guess it’s why it was such a breeze for him to347 reach such a high level of English.
