Can One Improve on his/her English Skills?

I think that one can indeed improve on his or her English skills only through hard work and perseverance.One can start aiming for good English skills by starting from a young age.CDs that teach children basic English skills are helpful becase it builds a strong foundation in the English language.Also,growing up in an environment where English is often spoken can also be beneficial to one in order to improve the language.However,if one does not start learning English at an early age,one can always read more English books to learn new vocabulary words and build up grammar skills.One other alternative is to read or just skim through English newspapers like the Straits Times to develop writing skills or learn more about what is going on in the outside world.Lastly,there is always the costly option of going for English tuition lessons to hone one's English skills.
If one is willing to practise their English regularly with enthusiasm,it is possible that one can improve on his or her skills.

T1W3 Journal: The Deadly Gas

I was in the lift with some other people when the unfortunate event happened.I had the urge to fart,and nothing could stop it,not even the end of the world.At first,I had tried to repress it,but i soon realised it had no use.Therefore,I emitted the gas surreptitiously.I breathed a sigh of relief as the farting noise was barely audible.However,relief quickly turned to horror as I had a sudden thought:silent farts are deadly.My theory proved to be correct-the deadly gas permeated the whole lift almost immediately.I watched in silent horror as the people around me started choking as though they had just breathed in sarrin gas.I prayed for the lift door to open.As if my wish was granted by some unseen higher force,the lift doors opened with a silent swish.The people in the lift surged out of the killing box and strated gulping in fresh,untainted air from the environment.As I stepped out of the lift,I could not help but think that the ultimate fart could indeed jeopardize human lives.

T1W1 Journal: Meticulous Max

A few minutes had elapsed but it was still a fruitless search.Max sighed inwardly,thinking of how his elder sister had coerced him to find her jacket.He had almost missed out what his sister was garbling as he was deep in concentration doing his homework.He was meticulous in almost everything while his sister was the total opposite-which was why he disapproved of his sister.'Some things just cannot be helped,'Max thought before he resumed the search of his sister's missing jacket.
