Improving your motivation
Before you start reading, you should know this: Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. Therefore our method is not just for reading; it is for reading and doing. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 EnglishCN.com)
You need two things to learn English well — passion and effective learning methods — and passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English; the learning methods only tell you how to do it faster.
I would like to post
here some big tips from Henrik Edberg to improve our conversation that I
happened to find from his blog. I think that we, Vietnamese in particular,
usually miss these points since we were not taught at school or very little at
home (at least it is my case) . I hope these tips are as useful for you as they
are for me in rare occasions such as taking Speaking English tests or going
to interviews.

Words are only 7
percent of your conversation. The rest is your voice tonality (38 percent)
and your body language at 55 percent. That’s according to research done by Albert
Mehrabian, currently Professor Emeritus in psychology at UCLA. These numbers
may vary depending upon the situation and what is communicated (for instance,
talking over the phone is obviously different from talking face to face) but
body language is a very important part of communication
Improving
your body language can make a big difference in your people skills,
attractiveness and general mood.
There
is no specific advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be
interpreted in several ways, depending on the setting and who you are talking
to. You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to
your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. These
are some common interpretations of body language and often more effective ways
to communicate with your body.
First,
to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice
how you sit, how you stand, how you use you hands and legs, what you do while
talking to someone.
You
might want to practice in front of a mirror. Yeah, it might seem silly but no
one is watching you. This will give you good feedback on how you look to other
people and give you an opportunity to practise a bit before going out into the
world.
Another
tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel
confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself
move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.
You
might also want observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people you
think has good body language. Observe what they do and you don’t. Take bits and
pieces you like from different people. Try using what you can learn from them.
Some
of these tips might seem like you are faking something. But fake it til you
make it is a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work
backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up
straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your
movements you’ll feel calmer. Your feelings will actually reinforce your new
behaviours and feelings of weirdness will dissipate.
In the
beginning easy it’s to exaggerate your body language. You might sit with your
legs almost ridiculously far apart or sit up straight in a tense pose all the
time. That’s ok. And people aren’t looking as much as you think, they are
worrying about their own problems. Just play around a bit, practice and monitor
yourself to find a comfortable balance.
1.
Don’t cross your arms or legs – You have probably already heard
you shouldn’t cross your arms as it might make you seem defensive or guarded.
This goes for your legs too. Keep your arms and legs open.
2.
Have eye contact, but don’t stare – If there are several people
you are talking to, give them all some eye contact to create a better
connection and see if they are listening. Keeping too much eye-contact might
creep people out. Giving no eye-contact might make you seem insecure. If you
are not used to keeping eye-contact it might feel a little hard or scary in the
beginning but keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
3.
Don’t be afraid to take up some space – Taking up space by for example
sitting or standing with your legs apart a bit signals self-confidence and that
you are comfortable in your own skin.
4.
Relax your shoulders – When you feel tense it’s easily winds up as
tension in your shoulders. They might move up and forward a bit. Try to relax.
Try to loosen up by shaking the shoulders a bit and move them back slightly.
5. Nod
when they are talking – nod once in a while to signal that you are
listening. But don’t overdo it and peck like Woody Woodpecker...
As most people find
TOEIC listening Part One an easy place to pick up points and it comes at the
beginning of the exam and so can give you confidence for the rest of the test,
it is well worth spending some time and effort thinking about how you can get
the most out of it. Below are 100 ideas on how you can improve your score in
the short and long term, most of which you can do on your own outside of class:
1.
Concentrate
on your pronunciation. More than sentences
that you would not understand if you read them, most people have problems with
sentences in the exam that they would understand if they could read them
carefully but have trouble understanding quickly when listening to them from a
native speaker speaking at natural speed. Working on your own pronunciation is
the best way of making sure you recognize English words and sentences when you
hear them in the TOEIC exam.
2.
Buy
an electronic dictionary that speaks. If you can get a dictionary that has different accents you can
also use that to make sure you are familiar with American accents (most of the
test) or British and Australian accents (some parts of the test that people who
have only studied American English can find difficult).
3.
Learn
homonyms. Homonyms are words
that have the same spelling and pronunciation but totally different meanings,
and so have different entries in a dictionary. These are sometimes used in the
exam to try and fool you into choosing the wrong answer in Listening Part One.
You can find lists of homonyms on the internet, and learning the more common
ones can also be a good way of learning similar words that you didn't know.
4. Learn homophones. Sometimes a question will try to fool you by using a word with the same pronunciation but a different meaning in that sentence to the thing you can see in the picture. By learning words that sound the same but have different spellings you can make sure you recognize each word in its context in the sentence. Learning words this way can also help you get the pronunciation exactly right...

Learn English Laughing |
Humor is important in learning a language. Not only does it enable the student to learn new vocabulary in context but it also is a motivating force. The student begins to feel like she is in the world of the new language. Puns are especially valuable because they stress meaning.
Puns
Learn English Laughing? Well, maybe not laughing... Puns usually make people groan. They say that for a pun to be good, it has to be really bad. As a matter of fact, they are called "groaners".
A pun is a little word game, playing with language. Most puns use a word that has two meanings, or use two words that sound almost the same.
Here are some puns. Use your knowledge of English, and your dictionary if necessary, to explain the pun.
Example: Why is an empty purse always the same? Because there is never any change in it. In this pun, the word "change" has two meanings: 1. coins and small bills, 2. alteration....
How To Learn English!
Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!
Speak without Fear
The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. 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
Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.

While there are certainly many more varieties of English, American and British English are the two varieties that are taught in most ESL/EFL programs. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct" however, there are certainly preferences in use. The most important rule of thumb is to try to be consistent in your usage. If you decide that you want to use American English spellings then be consistent in your spelling (i.e. The color of the orange is also its flavour - color is American spelling and flavour is British), this is of course not always easy - or possible. The following guide is meant to point out the principal differences between these two varieties of English.
Use of the Present Perfect
In British English the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example:
چرا شما ميتوانيد براحتي انگليسي بخوانيد ولي نمي توانيد خوب صحبت كنيد؟
اگر بخواهيد فقط يك مقاله در باره " چگونه انگليسي صحبت كنيم؟ " بخوانيد ، اين همان است. تمام اين مقاله را خوانده و روش خود را در مطالعه انگليسي تغيير دهيد.
بسياري از مشکلات تلفظي که زبانآموزان با آن نتيجه استفاده غلط از اصواتي است که در زبان مادري خود به کار 
ميبرند. بنابراين مشکلات تلفظي که شما از آن رنج ميبريد احتمالاً مشابه مشکلاتي است که ديگر زبانآموزان «هم زبان» شما هم با آن مواجه هستند

... و بالاخره به نقطه ای در دنیای حرکت پرشتاب غول اطلاعات رسیده ائیم که گریزی از یادگیری زبان انگلیسی نداریم و این نیاز هر لحظه شدیدتر احساس میشود. از طرفی کلاسهای رنگارنگ زبان به دلیل طولانی بودن و خروجی های حاصله جوابگوی نیاز روز نیستند. چر که تاکید بیش از حد بر گرامر و حفظ نمودن لغات ، مانعی بزرگ در رسیدن به حداقل توانائی لازم برای ایجاد ارتباط است. و شاید این سخن پر بیراه نباشد که گفتن یک جمله با رعایت نکات گرامری در زبانی پر از استثناء و جمله بندی با لغاتی دارای معانی متفاوت و گاه متضاد، عملا غیر ممکن است. این یادداشت پیشنهاد یک روش تجربی با به کار بستن تمامی دانسته های قبلی فرد، در جهت کسب توانایی برای گفتگوی نوشتاری انگلیسی دراینترنت است.
نکته های
طلایی در یادگیری مکالمه زبان انگلیسی
یادگیری
مکالمه زبان انگلیسی به شکل مطلوب، آرزوی اکثر جوانان ایرانی است. چه آنها که
انگیزه خاصی برای استفاده از این توانایی دارند، مثل سفر به خارج، ادامه تحصیل یا
استخدام در یک مؤسسه خارجی ویا صرفا از روی علاقه و ایجاد ارتباط با جامعه جهانی.
همگان بر این
اعتقاد هستند که آموزش های زبان در مدارس و دانشگاه های ایران کمکی به مکالمه نمی
کند و اطلاعات مربوطه صرفا در محدوده گرامر یا ترجمه متون خلاصه می شود.
برخی از
خانواده های ایرانی هم چون به سختی یادگیری زبان در بزرگسالی واقف هستند، فرزندان
خود را از همان سال های ابتدایی در کلاس های ویژه ثبت نام می کنند.
اما بزرگسالان
که فرصت شرکت در کلاس را داشته باشند ، همیشه به دنبال یک مرکز معتبر هستند و شاید
چندین آموزشگاه را تجربه کرده باشند. اما چون صرفا در کلاس حضور به هم می رسانند و
وقتی برای تمرین های هفتگی و مطالعه قبل از کلاس نمی گذارند، عملا به جایی نمی
رسند.
برخی نیز که کار و شغل روزمره اجازه حضور در کلاس را نمی دهد، با خرید انواع کتاب ها و نوارها ، تصمیم می گیرند که در منزل یا خودرو ، شخصا اقدام به یادگیری کنند که چون اجبار و ضرب العجلی برایشان نیست، به مرور از خیر این شیوه می گذرند و مجموعه ای از کتاب و سی دی و نوار روی دستشان می ماند....
