English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the number of speakers after
Chinese. In Viet Nam, more and more people are studying English, considering it a key to success. However, not
everyone knows how to learn English effectively.
The best way to improve the four skills, speaking, listening, reading, and writing, is to practice regularly. You
should make use of every opportunity to speak English with friends in class or at English speaking clubs or even with
yourselves in front of the mirror. Learning by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read a lot because
you will easily forget what you have learnt. Reading books, listening to radio and watching films are better ways to
memorize words. Besides, English learners should not be so shy because making mistakes is unavoidable in learning
foreign languages. Practicing speaking a lot is a good way to correct your mistakes.
