Listen to it. Try some of the radio stations, they have very good programs designed to help English learners and teachers.

Talk it. Talk to friends who are also learning English. Make a rule that perhaps for an hour, or when you go out together, you will only speak English to each other! Find native English-speaking people who will give you conversation practice. Look at Other Learning Material on the Web. Browse English-learning websites as often as possible. They offer a lot of online English resources, with audio or visual effects. 2) Scan the text as quickly as possible, grasp the opinions of the writer, and answer the following questions:
