    Practicing sounds, you know, is difficult—the “th” sound for example. Choose words that 3“th” and repeat them over and over again until you are comfortable with them. Let's try! This, that, those, them, think, thought, through, thin, thick.

    Read, read, read— in English, of course! Reading is one of 4 ways to increase your vocabulary and 5 your grammar in a natural and fun way. Be sure to choose topics or books you are interested in.

    When someone 6 in English, listen for the main point. If you 7 a word you don't understand, ignore (忽略) 8 and go on listening. If you stop and think about the word, you will miss 9 the person is saying.

    Always remember—Practice 10 perfect.
