HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Find native English speakers: In certain areas it's the hardest thing to do, but it's the best use of your
time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking
or otherwise.

Slow down: If you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your
listener has of understanding you. It's tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with,
but you can't do that! Clarity is key - for some native English speakers, too!

Record yourself: Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don't know quite what we sound like.
So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can
concentrate on what you need to work on.

Speak English at home: This is the biggest, easiest mistake to make. You use English at work or in class
and then you go home and and return to your mother tongue. Make sure to speak it at home, too. Have
only English at the dinner table. Stick to English TV at home. Make it as 24/7 as possible.

Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other sources create so
much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution threatens the health of the people
who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when they are poured into the waterways. These
wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in
disposing of their garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling
up. Citizens, governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together in different ways
to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced recycling programs, which cut
down on garbage and the space needed to store it. Residents separate recyclable products from garbage,
and city governments provide drop-off cities or pick up the products from homes.
