Since this article is intended for those people who are not enrolled in school with language bias or did not finish a bachelor's degree in "English language", the first and most logical step would be to search for a good tutor. To find a good private teacher is not so difficult if you have the desire and financial possibilities. Recommendations can give your friends, even those who do not seem linked in language at all. They will certainly find more friends who successfully prepared for passing the exam and entered the University.

As a rule, the hallmark of a good teacher is his willingness to spend so-called introductory lesson, which is a conversation for 20-30 minutes, during which you can form an opinion about the teacher as a professional and as a person, to draw conclusions, if his way of talking and explaining, and the teacher at this time determines your level of proficiency. Usually a trial lesson is entirely in English. Thus, the "sorting out" a few candidates, you'll find the right tutor that will be fun, not torture.

Although the tutor may give a large store of knowledge, including the practice of speaking, we should not forget about "homework". Your success largely depends on it. The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, reading. Read as much as possible, read fiction, ranging from adapted novels and ending with the novels in the original language. Read news and science articles. At first, the dictionary at hand is essential. First you will experience difficulties in understanding all the words. Only after a couple of months you will feel much freer due to the expanded vocabulary and a new skill fluent reading. Fluent reading in English is a person's ability to read the text and grasp the main idea, meaning, most of the thoughts instead of fixating on unfamiliar words. Read aloud, it will help to get used to the sound of certain words, and also to capture the peculiarities of his way of speaking.

To start mastering English literature better adapted stories of your favorite genre. For example, it may be Agatha Christie and her little stories about Hercule Poirot. After such reading will be to deliver more fun than difficulty, you go to the adapted novels, and later the original works.

Learn poetry. Nothing better effect on pronunciation than poetry in the target language. Set a goal: one verse every two weeks. Memorize it and recite aloud with expression. A very useful practice would be to record yourself on a tape recorder. Listening to the same poems on the Internet performed by native speakers, you will be able to catch inaccuracies in their pronunciation to eliminate them. It is important that the verses you like. You can choose a beautiful poetry of English poet Robert frost or the legendary Shakespeare's sonnets, then your choice is not limited, it all depends on your desire and determination.

Sing in English. If you like foreign music, it's a definite plus. When a person sings, he automatically learns a phrase and specific ligaments. All sing along with favorite songs, so why not benefit from it? Choose what you like, open the text and sing along with their favorite performers. Also, this practice allows you to learn slang and informal culture of communication.

Listen as much as possible. A must-have in this category is English-language news outlets. First, you will hear beautiful English spoken with a competent build and correct pronunciation, and secondly, listening to the news can significantly expand the vocabulary. In addition to news, you should pay attention to the series, because there is often a living speech with its "swallowing" endings and slang words. If you have already graduated or graduating from a bachelor and fairly well versed in his profession, you can try a specific series. For example, to lawyers, "Force majeure" (Suits, 2011-...), doctors or forensics - "Elementary" (Elementary, 2012 -...), etc. If you are far from special terminology, such series can beat off all desire in the future to undertake such. For those who are beginning to learn the language and just wants to listen to live speech, you can advise "the Customer is always dead" (Six Feet Under, 2001-2005) and "Gossip girl" (Gossip Girl, 2007-2012).

Since the entrance examinations in a magistracy is very similar to the IELTS, you need to learn more about this type of assessment as well as download the tool for its delivery, which, fortunately, the Internet is now abundant. Also pay attention to training exercises, because they give a good skills in the solution of language tests and develop all areas: vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.

Writing skills are developed by writing an essay and, oddly enough, by reading. It's no wonder they say: who reads good books, he is learning to speak beautifully; who speaks well, he writes beautifully. Write essays every day on different random topics: about the new discovery in physics, world peace, about your new shoes. Write about everything. Very good practice is doing your own English language blog. The basic rule: write at least for a little bit, but every day. The fact is that when we are unable to correctly construct the sentence, we asked for advice to the Internet, and after that hone new knowledge into practice. Thus, it is very unlikely that the lesson learned will be forgotten. Keeping a blog is a fun and interesting idea. For example, you can publish a separate philosophical posts in my LJ or on another platform, or simply to make interesting signatures in English to your photos in Instagram. The choice is yours! The world opens up many possibilities, and only you can decide which one to use.
