[00:33.75]The more you listen to English,the easier it becomes.
[00:38.32]That's easier said than done!
[00:41.98]Why don't you buy a radio?
[00:45.22]Then you can listen to China Radio International
[00:49.79]or BBC English programmes on the radio.
[00:54.23]Do you think that would help?
[00:57.60]Of course.And why not buy some English tapes and some books to go with them?
[01:03.95]I'm sure you'll find them useful.
