Advanced Reading, Writing, and Grammar

In the last two months we have done a lot of things that improved my English skills. Following to the Eric’s pieces of advice how I’ve succeeded in reading. The skiming and scanning approach helps me to understand a main idea of long texts. Practice of Ultimate Reader Program has also increased my reading speed. What also I have discovered in my English improvement is that reading the texts enriched my vocabulary.

My writing skills have also become better. The acquaitance with the structure of the TOEFL essay has changed the whole understanding of the writing process, as the awarness of the main rules about prewriting, writing, and postwriting stages.

But I still feel that I need to work on my further development of writing and reading. There are many words that I do not know. There are many topics that hard to discuss as if I were writing in Russian. To advance my English I need practice, practice, and practice. I have to learn about different types in writing, and read distinct genders.
