Practice Makes Perfect To be proficient in English, you need to improve your English language skills on a daily basis. Improving language skills needs a lot of practice. Practice, practice, and practice every day! Just like a football player, practice is very, very important. The footballer should not only love the game, but also spend a lot of time practicing: kicking, heading the ball, and many skills related skills to football game. Therefore, as students of English, you need to allocate much of your time to practice listening, speaking, reading, writing. Only by listening a lot, your listening skills will improve significantly. The same is true to reading, you need to read English passages every day. These two language skills, listening and reading skills are called receptive skills. And the other two language skills, speaking and writing are productive skills. To be good at productive skills you have to be good first at receptive skills. So, please practice watching English channels in the language center on a daily basis, if possible. You can also practice your listening by making use of abundant resources on the internet: podcasts, youtube, TED, and, of course, applications on your pc tablets, such as iStorybooks, Tabtales, etc. Listening is considered to be the basis or foundation for other learning. So, you have to be serious in developing your listening skils. The other receptive skill you need to develop seriously is reading skills. You have to love reading and read English passages on a daily basis. Read, read, and read every day. That is why I would like to show you a very good link that will offer hundreds of reading passages and comprehension questions for free. What is interesting is that the passages are given their levels of difficulty, so you can begin with lower levels first. Here is the link for your reading practice. Good luck! readworks.org/
