A. Reading — How to improve English communication skills?
Questions 1–6: Read the passage then pick out ONE best option (A, B, C or D). (1.5 points)
How to improve English communication skills?
Find native English speakers: Sometimes, it's the hardest thing to do, but it's the best use of your time. Talking to real native speakers is the best way to improve your English skills, speaking at least.
Slow down: If you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you.
Record yourself: We really don't know our pronunciation. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can focus on what you need to work on.
Speak English at home: This is the mistake to make easily. You use English at work or in class and then you go home 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.
