i think so,apart from this,we should have confidence and patience.i believe that confidence is the first step to the success,so we can't get away from or give up learning it when we get into troubles.

I'm in the US and have spoken English my whole life. Just reading your post I can tell you have a pretty good command of the English language already:-) This is a great place to be for people wanting to get better in their English speaking and writing. Just reading peoples posts will help you with the flow of how we construct our sentences and put them together. Writing posts too will help because in a forum, if they don't understand what you're trying to get across, then they'll often ask.
One of the hardest things about reading and learning English is how a word that sounds the same can be spelled different and have a different meaning. (Like the word to: it can be to (I went TO the store), I bought TWO (a number), but that was TOO (meaning overly much) many. Often times you can get the right word just by reading the sentence. Another confusing set is words that look like they should sound the same..but don't. I've often heard that English can be the most confusing language to learn because of these very things. As an English tutor, teaching older people reading skills, I do believe that's true. Good luck chenpingping, I think you are doing great from what I've read so far:)

You need to constantly mingle with those who speak and write well, listen to some news readers - bbc should be fine and also get some tutorial CDs. We have a few here who write well. You can follow their thread.

A deep attraction stimulates motivation and drives the mind to search for ways to learn. Attend coaching classes learn vocabulary daily a new word try to compose words, see TV listen to the music, News, conversation record it listen to it. Read news paper, do not be anxious to know correct usage and meaning. read the whole thing this practice will remind you the correct usage at correct time spontaneously.
Very important is one should have a natural drive, an ambition prompted by need. Browse the internet to learn the language freely learn by yourself. Have the pen friends or the E-Mail friends and exchange the language process.Write and write. Practice non formally by living for a brief period with friends or families, listen repeat ponder - you shall be as good as a native speaker
