Robin Sharma in 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari' says 'if you want to lead, you have to read.' When you read you will learn something new. Now what to read? An English newspaper, everyday for an hour. Two things will happen. The first is you will know what's happening in your city and country. Second your English will improve. Your vocabulary and sentence formation will improve. Remember this takes time for everyone, but the ones who do it regularly will show marked improvement. What to read next? When we start traveling again in buses and trains, we must use that time to read. No listening to songs and watching videos on the mobile phone. Use that time to read. Again, the newspaper and then books, fiction, self-help books. If your choice is religious books, go for it. Reading books helps your imagination grow. Watching videos or films is only entertainment. It's needed on weekends only. Not everyday. There will come a time when you will enjoy reading and that's when growth begins. Now let's talk about business English.

I read a little in the morning and again after work. From where I was to where I am, the difference is my ability to speak English. Brian T. 9223203441 / 7710027662
