Read the following passage and fill in each blank witth a suitable word

This/ English / from / Finally/ listening/ learn / you/ will/ listen/ students

Speak as often and as much as possible! This is the best way to learn English! There is nothing better than conversation to help (1) .......... you improve. Whereas, you can practise reading, writing, and (2)......... listening on your own, it’s obviously better to speak (3).......... English with someone. The best way to do this is to be in an English speaking environment. Take an English course in an English language school, or better still, (4).............learn English in an English-speaking country.

The quickest way to learn English is to surround yourself with English speakers. Also, get into the habit of thinking in English, don’t translate (5).............. from your own language into English, it will slow you down. When you talk, use the sentences which instantly and naturally feel right to you, these are often the correct ones. Many (6).......... students learn to develop an ‘intuition’ about English, use yours and trust it.

(7)................This might sound a little strange and embarrassing at first, but record yourself talking and (8)............. listen to your own pronunciation, talking speed and the flow of your speaking. It (9).......... will give you a great chance to see the areas you need to work on. (10)..............Finally, it’s fun to sing in English, so learn some English songs and sing your heart out!

HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Find native English speakers

In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

Listen to the music of English

No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.

Slow down

Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!

Record yourself

Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.

Speak English at home

This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.

Speaking English as much as possible is very good for improving English communication skills.

Healthy eating is about feeling great and having more energy. If you choose the right foods, your healthy diet will be a tasty diet, too. You can still enjoy your favourite sweet and salty foods, but too much sugar and salt is bad for your body.

          Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yoghurt are great because they contain calcium and keep your teeth and bones healthy. You should choose low-fat dairy products.

          Meat, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts are important, too. They keep our bodies healthy and they give us energy to work and play.

          Whole grains are an important part of every meal. If you eat lots of whole grains, you will have a healthy heart. Whole grains are in bread, cereal, pasta, and rice. Dark bread and brown rice are great sources of whole grains.

          Fruit and vegetables are the most important part of a healthy diet. They are low in calories and full of vitamins. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables with every meal, and as snacks during the day. Fruit and vegetables with darker colours have more vitamins.

A.      Find the underlined words in the text to match the meanings.

1.________           : an amount of energy.

2.________           : the power that your body gets from food.

3.________           : food that you eat between meals.

4.________           : If food is this, it tastes of sugar.

5.________           : If food is this, it tastes of salt.
