Consejos
para un mayor rendimiento en inglés.
1. Estudiar más la Gramática, vocabulario
del tema y verbos irregulares del final del libro.
2. Repetir los ejercicios de Gramática
que no te salgan bien
3. Traducir textos y frases (oralmente) ya que
tiene falta de vocabulario y pronunciación
4. Pensar y Hablar en inglés siempre que
puedas. Esta es la mejor manera de todas para
aprender inglés.
Seguro que poco a poco irás
mejorando.
Saludos.
