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. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.
Listen to the music of English
No, not English music, the music of English - its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness of it. The intonation. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.
Slow down
Above all, 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 go about your day, you’re on the job working partly in English, you go to your English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue. While you may be making slow improvements, you’ll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point 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.
Speaking English as much as possible is very good for improving English communication skills.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Amazing Machines!
The deepest diving submarine
The Japanese research submarine Shinkai 6500 can dive deeper than any other submarine. On August 11, 1989, it went down to a depth of 6,526 meters beneath the ocean’s surface. The submarine in 935 meters long, about the size of a bus and can take up to three people. It is used for ocean research all over the world.
The most useful television
The Viera is the name of the world’s only digital entertainment device that can go underwater. It is made and sold in Japan. You can listen to your favorite music, or even watch a movie, all from the comfort of your bathtub. And the battery lasts over five hours if you’re planning to spend a long time bathing. You can even use headphones with it – all you’ll need is to find a pair that is waterproof!
The smartest monitor
The Japanese company EizoNanao has invented a very special computer monitor, called the FlexScan monitor. The FlexScan monitor can stand up to 23 centimeters high, and it can turn almost 180 degrees left or right. It weighs only 4,3kg. What’s more, it can help save electricity. It senses when you have left your computer and turns itself off when you’ve been gone for more than 40 seconds. When you come back, it knows to turns itself back on!
The smallest motorcycle
A Swedish man named Tom Wiberg built the world’s smallest motorcycle that can be ridden by a person. He calls it the Small Toe. The front wheel is only 1.6 centimeters wide, and the back wheel is 2,2 centimeters wide. The rider sits barely seven centimeters above the ground. In 2003, Wiberg rode his machine for more than ten meters and set a new Guinness World Record for the smallest rideable motorcycle ever built
According to the passage, which machine would a deep-sea photographer probably set?
A. Shinkai 6500
B. iRobot
C. Viera
D. FlexScan
Đáp án A Trong các thiết bị được kể ra, chỉ có tàu ngầm Shinkai 6500 là có thể đi được sâu xuống biển (deepsea): dòng đầu đoạn 1: The Japanese research submarine Shinkai 6500 can dive deeper than any other submarine
