• Look at www.bbc.co.uk site they have a lot of thing to listen!
  
• Watch news shows on channels like CNN and BBC.
  
• The web site www.m-w.com is great for pronunciation help.
• Try books on pronunciation and language that come with audio cassettes.

2. Spruce up your writing skills

• Believe it or not, you have to Read More !
• Well-written magazines are great to read not only to improve language skills but also to learn more about the world.
• In terms of books, read what interests you. The basic goal is to read as much as you can.
• People tend to forget basic grammar when writing e-mails. An e-mail is nothing more than a letter which is sent electronically.

3. Three exercises to practise every day!

• Pretend you are a newscaster and read out the newspaper, focus on national newspapers.
• While reading a book, underline all the words you do not know. Look them up in the dictionary and make a list of these words, and make sure you use at least five of them in a conversation during the day.
• Most important, make an effort to speak in English to your colleagues, friends and family.
