Well done, Javier, on all your hard work this term. You are always active in speaking activities, and this is great. I always enjoy reading your writing too; you have very good ideas. You can see from your marks that reading is not a problem for you.

Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I recommend you review many of the language points we studied this term. There is extra language practice in your online workbook.

The area you need to work on the most is listening. I know this is difficult for you. I recommend more practice at home. Listen to English TV shows, podcasts and radio as much as possible. I can give you a list of things to listen to.

I've enjoyed working with you. Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!

Hello Wahiba

It's great to hear that you are so determined to improve your English. I just wanted to make sure that you had seen our Listening skills section. There are a lot of pages there that could be helpful for that. There are also several sections in our General English section that might also be useful for you.

Good luck!

All the best

I gave the IELTS exam in 2010. My average mark was 6.5 from 9. I thought I would score a bit in listening, but I get 5 in reading because it was very difficult.

Hello afnan abdullah There's some good advice on how to use our site to improve your speaking on our Frequently asked questions (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/frequently-asked-questions) page. I would also recommend the pages in our Speaking (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/speaking) and Listening (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/listening) skills sections. Even if you can't speak with another person in English, you can learn a lot by trying to speak to yourself in English during the day and practising useful phrases that you hear in our videos or audio recordings. I hope this helps you! All the best Kirk The LearnEnglish Team

Hello JK Baloch Keep up the good work! Have you seen our Grammar (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar) and Vocabulary (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/vocabulary) sections? Doing these reading, listening and writing pages will also help you with your grammar and vocabulary, and be sure to ask us if you have any questions. All the best Kirk The LearnEnglish Team

Hi everybody, I should improve all skills. Sir. Could you recommend for me please? What do you think ? Which one should I start? Thanks for everyting already now. have a good night.
Hello cuneyt It's very difficult for us to give you good personalised advice without knowing you, but in general it's a good idea to work on all the skills at the same time. This doesn't mean that you should work on all the skills every time you study, but rather that it's better not to neglect any of them for too long. There are some detailed suggestions on how to use our site to improve different areas of your English on our Frequently asked questions (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/frequently-asked-questions) page. I'd also encourage you to consider signing up for one of our free MOOCs (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/moocs) the next time one that interests you is offered. There is one on Shakespeare just starting today, for example. Good luck! All the best Kirk The LearnEnglish Team
