 READING ACTIVITY

Why did you decide to learn English? The answer is obvious for most people - they want to communicate with
others in English confidently. Research shows that the key to building these communication skills is to practice
communicating.
For the language learner, communication includes input (listening and reading) and output (speaking and writing).
To support these skills, students can also study grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. But what do all of these
things require?
The answer is simple: conversation. English learners must speak with others, and they must do this regularly.
Nothing improves language skills as much as regular practice expressing your ideas. But how often should you do
this?
After a day without practice, humans forget about 67% of what they learned, so more often is better. Many learners
find that short but regular study sessions and 2-4 speaking lessons per week lead to strong language development.
