Hello musica -
I read several of your other posts, but decided to respond here.

In a debate or vote, etc. .... pro = for something ; con = against (NOT for) something. So..."pros & cons" = for (or good points, aspects, etc.)
& against (or bad points, aspects, etc.).

As for your question about how to improve your English...
Have you read any of the other posts with similar subject titles in this (or other) forums?

Also, try typing "How to learn English" in the search function on the Index Page of this forum. You will be able to find many interesting ideas to help you.

Please let me know what you find. :) Philo

Use your English whenever you can.This is very, very important. The more you use English, the more you will want to learn it. Because English is so popular, you can use it everywhere. You can use various search engines to find English-language websites with interesting information, you can watch cartoons in English language, you can play adventure games on your computer, you can read interesting books in English, or you can do other things that we write about.
If you do these things, you will not only have fun and learn English. If you see that a new English word lets you understand your favorite TV show (or communicate with people, or beat a computer game), you will want to learn more words. So you will learn English more, use it more, learn it more, use it more... If you also use effective learning methods, your English will grow faster than you can imagine.
Find a friend who is learning English.If you can find a friend who is learning English and is on a similar level of skill,you will have someone to talk about English with. These conversations will increase your interest in English, as explained in the previous section.learning English will be easier, because you will be able to discuss your problems with your friend. you will study English more, because you will want to be better than your friend.You should meet your friend regularly. Ideally, he/she should live near you, or go to the same school as you. If you absolutely can't find anybody willing to learn English with you, you can try to find somebody by e-mail. This is a worse solution: your conversations will probably be less frequent, and it is difficult to compete with someone who you don't know well.
