HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH SKILLS

English as an international language is becoming more and more important in the world. When you are in foreign country which English is not the native language because of trip or business, even though you can't speak local language, you can feel at home if you can speak English, so Many countries teach English as a second language. I have been studying English in the middle school in my country. I think that there are three necessary steps for us to improve my English: making up your fundamental English skills including vocabulary, grammar and writing; correcting your pronunciation and participating the social practice.

This first important step is to make up your fundamental skill. Leaning English is alike building a house which includes base, body and roof. How many vocabulary you understand, how your base is strong, so abundant vocabulary is the key to success. Grammar is important as same as vocabulary because you can's express your opinion clearly if you are lack of your grammar skill.for example, "Rose liked cats" and "Rose likes cats" is the different meaning because of tense. The first sentences shows that Rose liked cats before, and the other sentences shows that Rose liked cats in the past. When you didn't see you friends for a long time, you reply business letters and you will plan to do a speech in public, writing skill is very useful to help you solve this problems.

Correcting your pronunciation is another important for us to improve our English skills. When we study English, we always are influenced by our mother language. To avoid the influence, we must be faraway away from mother language tone. Let's study standard pronunciations from stapes, TV and radios, just like a baby who how to learn speaking from your mother.

After you finish these steps, you should attend the social practice. Many people speak English just at a special time, on a giving occasion and with particular person. They perfer to speak their own country language with their family, their friends, and their workmates. These actions can't improve their English, otherwise these will become obstacle on their leaning English way.

All in all, There are no short cuts for us to improve your English skills.You must keep going on making up your fundamental English skills, correcting your pronunciation and participating the social practice. If you follow these steps, you will be succeed.
