To
improve
our
English,
it
is
critical
to
do
more
reading,
writing,
listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well- written essays
as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English
writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also
helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can
figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most
desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course
accomplish the task of mastering English.

Perhaps
you
envy
me
for
being
able
to
work
from home on the computer. I agree that the Internet
has made my job a lot easier. I can write

submit and
edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line
and
discuss
work
with
my
boss.
With
a
click
of
the
mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with
the latest news. But then, communicating through the
Net can be frustrating at times. The system may crash.
Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face
communication,
the
typed
words
sometimes
seem
difficult to interpret.
