I do a lot of reading , it can be physical books, online books , join debate clubs and social media.
One good way of practicing English skills is by interacting with peers. Another way is reading stories in order to improve your vocabulary and comprehension. Next to this is attending social activities such as cinema and sports, and above all, booking for more lessons to get more help from your tutor.
