Hi,赵玉玲, Needing to use English at work is a good incentive for improvement. Since you are in the hotel industry, it will be good to start with the basics you need for work. And you must decide how much time to devote to practicing it everyday.
Hi, 快乐之星, Do you read English stories? If you don't, you should start now. Find a book that is right for your level and read it, looking up the words in a dictionary and write them down in a notebook together with how it is used in the story. Review that regularly.

Hi, 何雯, Welcome! You have taken the first step to improve your English by practicing it here!
It is good that you have a goal to work towards - which is to work overseas. Since you like English, that will help you improve also. But perhaps you are not a person who pays attention to details and hence may have difficulties in writing even though you understand a lot of English. You can try listening in English more so that it becomes natural to you. Set a goal to listen to English for 15 minutes. English news would be a good start. Listening to the stories we have here is good too.
Hi,麦子, Once I read that Lin Yutang suggested people learning English to first learn to listen and speak. I totally agree. That is how babies learn a language.
Dear John Doe teacher, I am an undergraduate,but I want to learn english well so as to pass enterance examination of graduate in 1th,2005. Could give me some some advices on how to effictively improve english as soon as possible? I always feel the structure of english sentence is too complicated to easily understand and identify. Could you give me some practical tip to easily analyse and understand the structure of sentences? Best wishes yours XinHui

Hi,Xinhui, Your English is quite good.
Learning English well is a bit different from being able to pass your entrance exam especially if you are required to understand sentence structures. Since you have just a year to do that, I think it will be a challenge. I would suggest that you work on the language structures last. To improve English fast, you need to be hearing it and using it often so that it becomes natural to you. Even if you don't have much opportunity to speak it, listen to it as much as possible. It takes self-discipline. I would suggest that you set a goal for yourself on how much time to spend on it everyday or every week.

Hi! My name is John Doe. if you
are learning English and have a question, you can try to find
the answer here. You can also ask me, and I usually come and
answer questions once a week. Many answers are read aloud in
an mp3 file. So it is another good opportunity for you to
practice listening!

answer them, from now on previously answered questions will not be
answered again. Please use the search engine to look them up.
