What is Success?.....The difference between success and failure is the point at which you stop. Never give up!

In fact, the concept of real success is very ambiguous and abstract. Everybody defines their success distinctively:p For me, the most yearning triumph would be getting high score in the SAT that is coming up in 10 days

I have studied for TOEFL for 3years.
From my experience, I think that increasing vocabulary and understanding structure are very important!
Please believe me and your teacher!
I persevered in memolizing vobabularies very much. so, I am able to enjoy reading a book in English now

I am from China too, I aslo meet a same problem to improve my English because we seldom have opportunites to practice in English in China eventhough we studied it for years. What we learned in school was to memorize vocaburary and grammar. Let's help eachother and good luck to you.
