2023年8月26日「モバイル英語学習」第794号 ( 英語学習法) : Enhancing English Skills Over Summer Break

**************************************
As your English teacher, I want to encourage you to use your summer vacation wisely by improving your English skills. Remember, consistent practice is key. Try to read English novels or articles daily, even if it’s just for a few pages. This will not only improve your vocabulary but also your understanding of different contexts. Listen to English songs or watch English movies and shows. They are fun ways to train your ears to different accents and slangs. Try speaking in English with friends or family members; it’s okay to make mistakes. Lastly, keep a diary in English. It’s a great way to express your thoughts and improve your writing skills. Enjoy your vacation, but don’t forget to challenge yourself with English every day!
