I am afraid to speak English. I dont know how to tall with other people. My teacher told me to speak loudly, but I cant. I cant change myself. so bored.

----------> The important thing is to not be scared. You dont need to talk loudly. But you need to be confident in yourself and know that you WILL make mistakes. Mistakes are a part of learning~ Dont worry so much about it ^_^

If you try hard every day to learn English, you can be. Remember, you can ALWAYS improve at something~ \(^.^)/

A business proposal is what you write to give ideas for a business (like an idea). A business report is what you write ABOUT an idea (you alread know about it, so you are writing about it). ^_^

Thats a really great way to improve your reading; many people dont really think newspapers are good to practice reading but actually it is really one of the best ways. ^_^

The best way is just to speak with native speakers. try and find some and talk with them. Listen to how they speak the language, and the sounds they make, and try to copy them. If you cant find anybody to practice with, try watching English TV or movies. Listen to how is sounds and copy the things you hear. :~) Also, try talking to yourself. You may be able to catch things you know are wrong, and correct yourself at the same time; and at the very least, get practice anyway.

nice to meet ya, too
