[speaker001:] Do you mind if I ask you a question?
[speaker002:] No, not at all. Go ahead.
[speaker001:] What do you do in order to improve your English?
[speaker002:] I go to movies; I go to lectures; I listen to the radio; I do lots of things. Most importantly, I practice every chance I get.
[speaker001:] It 's a good idea to have a radio, isn 't it?
[speaker002:] Sure. It 's like understanding on the telephone — — you can 't see the speaker! It 's great for improving listening comprehension.
[speaker001:] It takes a long time to learn a language, doesn 't it?
[speaker002:] It certainly does. But if you practice speaking every spare minute and learn useful sentences every day you can make big progress.
