How to speak English?

Dear students, 

Many of you are really afraid of speaking exam the most. I'm sure you have all the reasons in the world regarding this matter. However, I believe that you are not confident in using the language because you don't expose yourself to it. 

So, how to do it? Here I have some tips for you to 'handle' the speaking exam soon...

1. Get a good dictionary. If you need to, a dictionary to translate between your first language and English is best.
2. Practice everyday by checking your pronunciation, and learning a few new words.
3. Listen to people who speak English. If they talk too fast, kindly ask them to speak slower.
4. Learn the grammar with careful study. A teacher may be best for this.
5. Talk in English with other speakers, especially those who speak it as a first language.
6. Think in English when you have learned it well. Translation in your brain can become confusing after certain points.
7. Read Simple English in your spare time, and books written for young children.
