Getting better at English requires consistent habits: read actively, plan your essays before you write and review your teacher's comments carefully.

• Read actively: the more you practice reading with a pencil in hand, the easier it becomes to pull evidence for essays and class discussions.
• Plan before you write: a clear thesis statement and a list of supporting points before you write keeps your argument on track from introduction to conclusion.
• Polish your work: using a checklist for spelling, punctuation and paragraph structure before submitting turns a rough draft into a polished piece.
• Apply corrections to future work: reviewing the comments on graded essays and applying those corrections to your next assignment is one of the fastest ways to improve.
