I can speak English fluently. But I have some problems with my grammar. I learn English because I often visit Britain and I have a lot of friends there. English helps us overcome (преодолевать) our communication problems. Besides, I like to read British youth magazines. They are interesting.

I can chat with people from different countries on the Internet. I can find the information and new ideas on the Internet. To use the computer I have to read and write English quite well because nearly 80% of all the information in the world’s computers is in English.

Task 8: Cluster Jigsaw 1.

1. How can we study the English language?

Speak without Fear The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right.  Like anything, learning English requires practice.  Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. 

Use all of your Resources Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. 

Surround Yourself with English The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it.  Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television.  Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .

Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate.  The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. 

Watch English Films and Television This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective.  By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors.  If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. 

Listen to English Music. Music can be a very effective method of learning English.  In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension.  The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings.

Study As Often As Possible! Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. 

Do Exercises and Take Tests Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun.  However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. 

Record Yourself Nobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time.  You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much.

Listen to English By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you.  Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.

Finally Have fun!
