Practise, practise, practise!

 


Practice makes perfect (or if not perfect, certainly better!)

The more you practise anything, the easier it gets. Repetition is key! Ask any tennis player or golfer how they got so good at their skill and they'll tell you they just kept at it, even when they didn't feel like it.

It's the same with language-learning.  And the good thing is that you don't need to sit down for long periods of time to do a Use of English exercise. Keep your text book handy, have a link in 'bookmarks' on your computer that'll take you to a good website with exercises (and answers). It's much easier to actually get down to doing an exercise when you tell yourself it'll only take ten minutes tops. You'll always learn, or reinforce, something. Oh, and you can try exercises that are just above the level you are studying for, then you'll be well equipped to answer the slightly more difficult questions in your exam.  Today I've posted an Open Cloze exercise about Casinos, basically so I could insert Motörhead's brilliant 'Ace of Spades'! A great head-banging song!
