Struggling with Speaking?!

                The book with English topics isn't meant, of course, for learning them by heart. It is not effective and for better results, you'd better only read them. It'll help you to summarize what you've learned previously. You may only get inspired by reading through lines and make your own stories. Also, it's a good thing to pay attention to the sentences and structures. And for sure, if you fall in love with some structures, idioms, phrasal verbs or even simple words you may remember and make them a part of your active vocabulary. Sometimes it's just for revising words on a specific topic you are interested in. English topics
