How To Improve English Skills

Hello Readers

 According to my learning, teaching experience & from the feedback of my trainees; I have come to the following conclusions on how to improve our English skills:

1. Regularly read English news papers, magazines & or online articles.

2. Listen to English news & watch decent English movies with subtitles. 

3. Everyday, write something or whatever you have read from newspapers, magazines & or online articles or so. Write a minimum of 15 sentences in your own words and get it corrected. 

4. Stand in front of a mirror and talk on any topic in English & record the audio in your mobile and get it checked form an English teacher.

5. Speak with native speakers & avoid using translators.

6 Most important, think in English and stop translating from your native language to English in your mind. Also have an offline dictionary installed in your mobile.

Follow these steps for a month and see the changes.

 Good luck!

Fire Snow

Some say that love is born of fire, A frantic flame that feeds on breath, To satisfy a wild desire And lead a soul to golden death. I’ve tasted such a burning brand, It seared within my heart and mind; A drought upon a summer land That left a bitter dust behind. But I have known a different cold— Not like the hate that freezes deep, But like the hemlock, dark and old, Where winter crows their vigils keep. For when the fire begins to wane And leaves me heavy with my rue, A dust of snow, like falling rain, Descends to make the spirit new. A sudden brush against the sleeve, A quiet word, a cooling touch; Small graces help the heart believe That passion does not owe us much. For love is neither ice nor flame, But how the white drifts drench the red; It gives the day a gentler name And saves the path that we must tread. -Jairam Kshirasagar
