How to Improve Your English

Learning English is a continuous process. For tips on how to improve your English, read on.

Read English newspapers, books, and magazines. Reading is an active process that requires your brain to work. When learning a language, much is achieved by speaking, listening and writing. 1. When you read, you learn new words and will be able to use them.

2. After reading the daily papers, choose one or two articles that stood out among all those that you read, and write down your reactions to them. Read what you wrote afterwards, and check if you made any grammatical errors or would like to improve your work.

Read the book version of a movie that you have already seen. 3. Reading the book version means you will find it easier to understand and guess vocabulary, and you can remember it easily since the story is already familiar to you.

Teach English to children or friends. 4. This also holds true for the English language. When you share and teach English to others, you are able to practice. At the same time, you become more aware of your weak areas.

Use English every day. Whatever you are doing, from washing the dishes or taking out the garbage to going to work or to the gym, use English. Take out those new words that you learned and use them. Bring out those new idioms you came across and use them. 5. Learn how to use it in your daily life.

As you try to improve your English day by day, you will surely see improvements that are going to “make your day”.

B.Keep a news diary.

C.But reading is also a great help.

So you have been called for an interview－well done. Your effort has paid off. Now go to get the job. You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization.

Ask someone who already does it or check it out with one of the advisers.

Ask a member of family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you a practice interview. Afterwards discuss how it went.

Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look. Remember most of the employers are over 30. It is not wise to buy new clothes that will be worn for the first time at the interview. It’s best to wear a familiar dress.

Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job. Arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time. This will give you a chance to have a look around，read the notice board and get the feel of the place. Being late at interviews produces a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door，so take a couple of deep breaths.

Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers.

Don’t take a seat until asked. Then sit comfortably.

Remember the interviewer’s name and use it from time to time.

Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask？” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions. Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to leave a better impression. Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays， pension (养老金) and so on. You can check on these later when the hoped­for job is offered.

And if you fail，look upon the interview as an experience in itself. Learn from it.

We wish you good luck and good job hunting.

The company, which is famed mostly for its Firefox browser(浏览器), has partnered with the Chinese low-cost chip maker Spreadtrum.
