  There are many ways for you to improve your English.You can find the right way for yourself.Here are a few tips that might help:

  Motivate (激励) yourself

  If you are not motivated to learn English, you will become frustrated and give up.Ask yourself the following questions:

  ●Why do you need to learn / improve English?

  ●Where will you need to use English?

  ●What skills do you need to learn / improve? (Reading / Writing / Listening / Speaking)

  ●How soon do you need to see results?

  ●How much money can you afford to learn English?

  ●Do you have a plan or a learning strategy (策略)?

  Set yourself achievable goals

  You know how much time you can dedicate to learning English, but a short time each day will produce better, longer-term (更长期的) results than a full day on the weekend and then nothing for two weeks.

  Here are some goals you could set yourself:

  ●Join an English course.

  ●Read an English book every month.

  ●Learn a new word every day.

  ●Visit an English speaking forum (论坛) every day.
