A lot of students asked me how to improve their English via internet. Actually, there are quite a few websites worth visiting. For example, http://www.chinadaily.com.cn ( this is a domestic one and it's bilingual.) and http://www.washingtonpost.com/ (it's a pure American one and informative). During the summer vacation, do not waste the time regarless of your recent success in this college entrance exam, or CTE 4 or CET 6.There is always a long way to go. Being well-prepared and goal-oriented, we can grasp the opportunity around us and be more competitive among our peers.Here I want to show you a practical means to make a quit lift in your oral English and English ability as a whole.
 

Step one: read an article from a variety of websits or newspaper

 

   The following article is from China Daily which is about a survey among fathers. Reading can always benefit us. Just read it.

 

  Juggling work and family tough for dads too

 

     With Father's Day fast approaching, many dads admit they are struggling with how to juggle long days at the office and quality time with their family, according to a new survey.

     A fifth of the 248 Canadian fathers questioned said time away from home because of work is their biggest concern because they may miss important family events.

    "I think it's tough for all working parents ... Trying to juggle is a difficult task," said Patrick Sullivan, president of job site Workopolis.com, which conducted the poll.

Fifteen percent were concerned about finding time for chores, while 11 percent worried about being unable to turn off work at home.

    Sixteen percent of fathers in families with an income of over $100,000 said they had difficulty letting go of work at the end of the day. Many fathers also said they felt it was difficult getting parental leave.

    Despite the struggles, 40 percent of working dads still claim the family-work balance is manageable.

    Fathers in Quebec claimed to be the most in control, with more than half of those surveyed citing no challenges. Only three percent said time away from family was an issue. Western dads seemed more in tune with mothers, with nearly a quarter agreeing that finding time for chores was the biggest issue.

    About a third of dads took their own fathers' counsel about careers and family to heart and are happy with the outcome, while another 18 percent chose not to listen.( This is from Chinadaily)

 

Step two:

Look up new words from the dictionary and read loudly about this article at least three times.And recite those new words.

 

Step three:

Find yourself a topic based on the artile and have speech on it.

It's a perfect way for you to have oral English practice.

For example, I can focus on the following topics-- My father\ How father influenced me\who has more obligation in a family, father or mother?

 

Through this steps, you may get rapid progress in English. But you have to remember, do this with perseverance.
