Reading

• If you want to learn English more quickly, lots of reading is

important. The more you read, the more input your brain
gets about how the language works. When you read in
English, you can improve your vocabulary, your grammar,
and your writing skills at the same time.
• Reading improves writing and writing improves reading.
• No need to understand the whole sentence, just try to
understand the meaning behind it, that’s enough for
beginners.

I volunteer three times a week after school.I go to an elementary
school in an underdeveloped neighbourhood,and help students
with their homework.They don’t have private tutors,and their
parents are usually busy working.The kids look up to me and ask
me for advice.I try to set a good example,and I encourage them
to study hard.

When I think about things,I try not to think too much about the
negative side of things.I try to focus on the positive.I think
things will work out for the best,and they usually do.Some of my
friends are just the opposite and that can be hard on me
sometimes.I guess I prefer to be around people who also focus
more on the positive,but I get that not everyone is the same.
