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

• Engage with the text: active reading means looking for themes, literary devices and character development instead of just following the plot.
• Structure your ideas first: a clear thesis statement and a list of supporting points before you write keeps your argument on track from introduction to conclusion.
• Review your drafts: 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.
