Do the quiz to check your vocabulary. 6 страница
You can read English alone. You can write English alone. But, you run a serious risk if you speak to yourself in English! That is why you should speak as much as possible at school where there are people to speak to.
How can you speak English outside school? That depends on where you are. But you should make a big effort to find somebody for conversation practice. In a large city, it should not be difficult to find people who speak good English. You can put an advertisement in a local newspaper. You may find an English person, for example, who wants to practise your language. Then you can do a conversation exchange.
Reading is an excellent way to learn new vocabulary. But you need to read the right level of English. If it is too difficult, you may become dis- couraged. If it is too easy, you will make no progress. Try to read something that is slightly above your level. Try to understand the meaning of a new word from the context. If you really cannot understand, use a dictionary and record the word. What can you read? Well, there is no shortage of read- ing material: books, poetry, newspapers, magazines, Internet.
Practise your English by writing letters to a pen friend. Today, with the Internet, this is very easy. You can exchange letters by email. To find a pen friend from anywhere in the world, check out English Club ESL Forums.
