3. I'm now top 3 of the class and the top of the whole form in English. Here's how I did it:

a) Buy these channels:

Discovery Channel
Animal Planet
Discovery Science
Discovery Turbo (optional)
TLC
Disney Channel
and other English channels

Watch one of these channels AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. Increase the numbers gradually. Once you like the shows, you'll want to watch them day and night. Then, cover the Chinese subtitles with your hand to improve your listening skills. (This really helped me!!) Watch movies (especially animated movies) in English, and again, cover / ignore the subtitles.

b) Get yourself to like a celebrity from America / England / etc. You'll love him/her and you'll want to speak English just like him/her.

c) Read, read, READ!!! Start with 100 pages, then 200, then 300 ... When you're confident, jump to 1000. Trust me: it's not that hard! After all, you read a book not because of the number of pages it has, but of the amazing story in the pages. Even I jumped from 300 straight to 1050. You'll soon LOVE reading and your house will be FULL of books.

d) Speak English whenever possible, and train your accent by trying to simulate the hosts / voices of the shows you're watching.

e) Play Lumosity. Since the website is in English AND it helps you boost your brain power, it really helps you. Here's the link:
http://www.lumosity.com/

APPLYING ENGLISH IN YOUR DAILY LIFE:
a) get English leaflets when available
b) think in English
c) write in English
...

Just do everything in English, and you'll have the soul of a foreigner. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!

其實依家每日都有英文新聞,有埋字幕,
雖然英文劇集可能會吸引D,但你多數睇劇情多過睇字,同埋睇完就算,你有幾可會真係播下停下去學,
如果你想簡單D去學,或者你上網睇下AL的UE的LISTENING,上網可以搵到SCRIPT同,比劇集同NEWS的語速較慢,同埋有埋SCRIPT,每日認認真真聽半個鐘左右,一開始對住SCRIPT黎睇,之後試下唔睇SCRIPT,咁你應該可以有進步

至於reading,其實唔駛特別睇咩英文書,簡單的可以揀本你有興趣的英文書,每日睇1,2頁,認真咁睇,可以學新字同埋唔同的句式,當你連最簡單的i love you點解都唔識,當你見到呢句就要諗,love點解唔駛加s, you係咩詞性,每句都諗真咁睇,當你睇晒一本書之後,你會發覺已經明左好多野
(當然,你可以買本grammar書去學唔同的grammar)

至於writing,簡單一句就係practice make perfect,每日寫,唔需要多,可以用100-200字,但要用唔同詞語同句式,寫得越多,到時考試果時你就得心應手,唔會驚到咩都寫唔出

至於oral,都係果句啦,睇多D讀多D,大聲讀出黎,讀得多自然有信心,唔駛話咩驚讀錯,唔識就查字典點讀,系屋企讀無人會笑你

P.S. 我讀U之前都係咁做,只係個人做法,可以唔跟:)
