Hello, beam-- and welcome to English-test.net.
Improving one's foreign language is a long, slow process, and there are no magic answers.
Improving vocabulary depends mostly on extensive reading and word study; watching movies will not help much.
If they do not have subtitles, movies can help your listening comprehension, but more helpful are sound recordings that include tasks and exercises.
If you are focusing on a good TOEFL score soon, then your best strategy is to take sample TOEFL tests-- as many as you can.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for giving some advise about the way to imporve english! I will do the toefl test sample as much as I can. I know that if want to improve englsih not 1 day or 2 day, it need a long time to do it. Actually everyday i'm using english in my studies and supposed to be improve a lot....But for me is not...I'm not improve anymore and my writting is too bad and my speaking also not so good. My pronunciation very bad!
What should i do...I'm so anxious and don't know what should i do....The another thing my vocabulary is limited and grammar is very bad! How to improve? Is it i need to read stories book or what else i can do? What is the best way can improve in a short time? |

Hi beam,
To improve your pronunciation, you should try to imitate spoken words as often as possible. Here is our audio course to help you get going!
Learning vocabulary needs time and patience. Read as much as you can and don't get disappointed when you feel you're not making enough progress.
It takes time! But once you've reached a certain level, you'll find that learning new vocabulary will com much easier to you
