Dear Li Ming:
I am very happy to see your letter. You mentioned that your English was not good enough, and hoped to improve it. Acutally it is not a tricky question. As long as you make up your mind to take measures, you will achieve your progress.
Firstly, you should keep in mind that English, as a tool for communication, is essentially a language. And as a language, the ultimate purpose for learning it is to use it to express yourself and understand others. So we can not learn it the way you learn math or physics. It has its own way.
Secondly, you should try to remember the words. Because it's the basic of English without which the language system can not be formed. It is not recommanded to rote. Yet, you should try to learn the words through context. It works better especially for the beginners.
Thirdly, you should read more English mateirals in order to foster a sense of language. By watching English movies or TV series or reading English newspapers, you will hold a vague impression of the sentence, and it may help establish your own language system. After reading a lot, you will find it easy to express yourself with proper expressions.
And last, you should find more oppurtunities to practise your achievement. Namely, to find some native English speakers or friends or teachers to chat in English. During the conversation, you should try to pay attention to what others use to express their mind. And if it is something new to you, you should memorize as much as possible and make it your own.
I hope with the methods stated above, you'll soon make achievement in learning English. Good luck to you.
Sincerely
Tom
