　　Many students ask for advice about improving their English．There are three basic questions．

　　The first question is about real English．Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs．But it takes a long time．What do you think?”

　　This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words．Just enjoy yourself!

　　The second question is about speaking．Sam, from Suzhou wrote．“Our school has a foreign teacher．But I'm shy and can't speak to her．What should I do?”

　　When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a talk．Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps．

　　The third question is about vocabulary．Oliver, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words．I write them down, but I forget them quickly．What should I do?”

　　Try to remember eight or ten words a day．Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom．Say the words when you see them, and change them every day．And when you're shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?

　　When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful．When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also you can learn how to use these English words．When you read, it gives you a good example for writing．

　　Good reading tips．

　　Try to read at the right level(水平)．Read something that you can(more or less)understand．If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting．

　　Try to increase the number of your new words．If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook．But you don’t have to write them while you read．Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read：mark them with a pen．Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book．Then try to remember them．

　　Try to read regularly．For example, read for a short time once a day．Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday．Fix(固定)a time to read and keep to it．You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime．

　　Read what interests you．Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it．So, choose an interesting book．You can also read newspapers．There are many English newspapers in China．For example, 21st Century Teens．It is easy enough for you to understand it．There is something interesting in it．
