Ways to Improve your English by yourself
Virginia Lang, an Australian English teacher, shares her tips on improving your English by yourself.
First, change the language settings on your devices such as phones or laptops to . It forces you to think in English all the time and it will help you to more quickly.
Second, read with your passions. Read something you are interested . If you're into sports, read a sports magazine. When you read, read actively, and consider the tools that you can use while reading. Highlighters are great for highlighting new words you do not know. Have a good online dictionary or a good paper dictionary so that you can check the definition and put it to memory as well.
Third, listen to podcasts and watch videos and television in English. You should also write down or say aloud summaries of what you heard or watched.

Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct option.
Step 1: Make your own cleaning products. Doing this will reduce the use of plastics because you are reusing plastic containers to hold the cleaning products.
Step 2: Use cloth bags at the grocery store and for all your grocery needs. If you don't have a cloth bag with you when you are shopping, ask yourself if you need a bag at all.
Step 3: Buy energy-saving devices. They may cost more but you will save money because they use less energy. Replace regular bulbs with energy-efficient bulbs. You pay a little more, but the life of the bulb is significantly longer.
Step 4: Set up compost bins. Add fewer things to the landfill sites by composting your kitchen scraps. All plant-derived foods, coffee grounds and tea leaves can be composted. Have small containers in your home to place them in. Use this rich fertile soil in the garden.
Step 5: Grow an organic garden. If you don't have the space or time to grow a garden, shop locally and support local farmers.
Step 6: Reduce the use of car travel. Consider using public transportation, walking, and bike riding to get to where you want to go. If you must travel by car, shop for a fuel-efficient vehicle.

Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct option.
The Secrets of Sleep
Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours sleep every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of serious illness. People who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work.
The scientists found that, on average, adults sleep for seven hours a night, with thirty-two percent sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is completely untrue. “People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives," Dr Thomas Roth, director of the Foundation says. “Good health needs good sleep."
“But not too much of it,” says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University. “Sleep is like food and drink” he believes: “you would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you need it." Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed; after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!
