　　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)?

　　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．

　　Joining a short English intensive course (强化课程) could produce better results than joining a course that takes place once a week for six months．

　　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．

　　●Read an English article on the net every day．

　　●Do 10 minutes' English listening practice every day．

　　●Watch an English film once a month．

　　●Follow a soap opera, comedy or radio program or TV drama．
