Dialogue on difficulties in learning English
Salim: Hey Sakil! How are you doing?
Sakil: I'm fine, and you?
Salim: I'm doing well too. I'm really happy that you came to visit me.
Sakil: Oh, really! It's been quite some time since we last met.
Salim: Yes, it feels like ages. Anyway, I've made a decision to master English so that I can speak and write fluently.
Sakil: That's a wise decision, and I truly appreciate it. Learning English is essential for building a successful career.
Salim: Exactly! But I'm not sure if I'll face difficulties or if my efforts will be in vain. Do you think I'll find it challenging to learn English?
Sakil: No, I don't think so. I believe you will succeed. To learn English well, focus on developing the four language skills.
Salim: What are these four language skills, and how can I improve them?
Sakil: The four language skills are reading, writing, speaking, and listening. To enhance your writing, start by learning the basic grammar rules.
Salim: I understand. But is that enough?
Sakil: No, it's not. Write a few pages every day, learn new vocabulary, and practice correct usage and spelling. Maintaining a daily diary in English will also help.
Salim: And what about improving my reading?
Sakil: Read English newspapers daily to improve your reading skills effortlessly.
Salim: And how can I work on my speaking and pronunciation?
Sakil: To develop your pronunciation, watch BBC, CNN, National Geographic Channel, or English news on television. You can also practice speaking in English with classmates.
Salim: That's an excellent idea! Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions.
Sakil: You're most welcome. See you again soon!
