"What would you like to change in your approach of the English language?

"

Roger Bacon said: “Knowledge of languages is the doorway to wisdom”. Also


Jonathan Culver stated that “English language is a work in progress. Have fun with it.”
As an international language, English is widely spoken by people all around the world.
The English language is the most common language that is used in sciences, books,
magazines, newspapers, movies and other media of news or entertainment.
I consider that, in this moment, English is the most important language and it is
necessary to know it and to improve your English skills every day. English is the official
language of 53 countries. It’s the most widely-spoken language worldwide. It can help
increase your chances of landing a job. And, my favorite part about learning English, is that
traveling become easier.
What I think would help me improve my English (pronunciation and vocabulary)
would be interaction with native English speakers. I would like to live temporarily in the UK
to practice my English and live new experiences in attempt to improve my English as much as
possible. If this is impossible for me at the moment, what I could change in my approach of
the English language is the way I organize my time. Thus, I would allocate time every day for
reading something in English. Anything, it doesn’t matter what: books, articles, news etc.
Also, I could listen to as many interviews as possible in English.
It is really important to improve English skills because it is never too late. Some ways
to improve English are reading, watching movies or even listening to music. This should be
included in the daily task and, after doing it for a long time, it becomes a habit. Watching
movies in the original might help me enrich my vocabulary and improve my listening
comprehension. Furthermore, this solution would allow me to combine study and pleasure
and improve my motivation.
Finally, I should allow enough time for writing and speaking practice, which are
actually the most powerful tools for improving language skills. A lot of learners are afraid of
making mistakes. This fear can lead to writer’s blocks and public speaking anxiety. However,
practice is a critical element of language competence. Otherwise, the new words, phrases and
constructions learnt by watching movies and reading books in English will be easily forgotten
without using them in my papers and communication. Importantly, along with overcoming
my fear of making mistakes, I will need to do everything possible to improve my grammar,
learning the rules and carefully proofreading the papers.
English is undoubtedly one of the harder languages to learn. Full of nuances,
unexpected pronunciations, odd rules and infuriating exceptions to rules, it takes dedication
and perseverance to reach a good level of fluency. 
Therefore, don’t let any day pass without practicing improving your English skills.
Take advantage of every opportunity to be able to speak and understand English at a high
level. William Raspberry stated: “Good English, well spoken and well written, will open more
doors than a college degree. Bad English will slam doors you did not even know existed.”
