Do you have a smart phone or a computer? If so, there is a good way for you to learn English: listening to podcasts(播客).

Podcasts are made by people all over the world. You can find them easily on the Internet. There are all kinds of podcasts. Some are about music. Some are about interesting stories. Some are about language learning. Fortunately（幸運的）,the podcasts are free, so you can choose what you are interested in and keep listening. The other advantage of listening to podcasts is that you can do it almost at any time. You can do it when you are walking to school, or when you are running on the playground. You can do it before you are going to bed. In this way, your English will improve a lot.

If you want to improve your English skills by listening to podcasts, here is something you need to remember. First, do not listen to podcasts when you are riding a bike. That’s too dangerous! Second, make sure that the sound of your smart phone or computer is not too loud. The loud sound may be harmful to your hearing.

In short, nothing is impossible. If you put your heart into it and pay more attention to the listening materials, you will be more knowledgeable.
