reading for fun
If you'd like to read more in your own time, take a look at these web links - they cover topics found in the natural English student's books. Some of the links also have audio material, so you can practise your listening too.
By reading regularly, you can improve your speaking, listening, and writing, and also your vocabulary and grammar.
You could keep a 'reading diary', as a record of the things you've read and the new words you've found.
Choose texts which interest you, and which are not too difficult. The important thing is to enjoy your reading - then you can have fun and improve your English at the same time.
Happy reading!
