Joining a short intensive course 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 (and attend regularly).
- Do your homework.
- Read a book a month.
- Learn a new word every day.
- Visit an English speaking forum every day.
- Read a news article on the net every day.
- Do 10 minutes listening practice every day.
- Watch an English film at least once a month.
- Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.

Improve your reading and vocabulary:

Improve your writing and grammar:

Make learning a habit. Try to learn something every day. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, etc.) 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week.

Find friends to study and speak with. Learning English together can be very encouraging.

Use the Internet. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource that anyone could imagine and it is right at your finger tips.

Nowaday, English 's a popular language so English skills about listening,speaking, reading and writing are very important and necessary for you in every field. I hope you will improve your English skills better when you see my above tips.
