         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think that probably the most challenging skill for me is writing. I always get confused with the grammar structure or the order of the letters; to improve, I apply many things, so here is some advice. <br>When you see a movie, you must put it in English, and put on the subtitles; you should read some books in the language, and also, try to have a diary in English<strong>. I</strong>t is an entertaining activity.<br>Starting to do these things is a piece of cake; writing will be <strong><sub>an</sub></strong> easy peasy with time.<br>- Yuliana C.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Well, I think the most dificult skill is grammar in my case. Usually<strong>, </strong>when I try speak, I confuse <del>times </del><strong>tenses </strong>or don't have the correct structure and when <strong>I </strong>try <strong>to</strong> write I have the same mistakes. To avoid having these mistakes<strong>,</strong> I try to listen <strong>to</strong> music in english and then search <strong>for </strong>the lyrics<strong>,</strong> and I play <strong>all of the</strong> videogames <del>all </del>in <strong>E</strong>nglish with subtitles to watch how they talk and how they use the grammar. <strong>W</strong>atching americans and british streamer<strong>s</strong> and youtubers <del>americans and british</del> <del>it</del> is a good idea too. That is a good idea and you enjoy the content, so you don't feel that like <del>a </del>homework. Thinking in english is a good exercise to practice when you don't talk with anybody and then write to search for <del>a</del> mistakes.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For me, the most difficult skill is probably speaking because sometimes I just can't put into words what <del>Its</del> <strong>is</strong> in my mind... <strong>A</strong>lso grammar is still kind of difficult sometimes,<br>but I think that grammar will naturally become way easier on the way. <del>for </del><strong>T</strong>o improve the speaking skill, someone told me to do something <del>the </del><strong>that </strong>help<strong>s </strong>them too, and <strong>i</strong>t's&nbsp; when you're in your house, pick a random word, in your mind, like "morning" or "Fairytale" Idk, and try to talk about that for a minute straight, I mean, the word is like, a start point, then you just keep going with what feels natural. <strong>A</strong>lso<strong>,</strong> record<strong>ing</strong> yourself <del>its</del> <strong>is</strong> a good idea, so you can listen and maybe catch some of your mistakes.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A difficult skill for me has always been grammar, I have a hard time identifying and memorizing the rules and order that must be followed in order to say or write something in a grammatically correct way.Some alternatives to improve this ability could be knowing the parts of speech, using the dictionary, listening to music in English also helps a lot to improve grammar, watching series or movies with subtitles, reading books in English, having the phone in that language, and finally, something that helps a lot is memorizing lists with the conjugations of the verbs. <del>But</del> <strong>S</strong>omething very important that we must not forget is that we must not give up, we must have a positive mentality in order to improve, in this case in grammar, but also in every aspect of life. ;)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>F</strong>or me the most difficult thing is grammar <del>Why do</del> because you need to memorize too many structures<strong>, and </strong>that leads to confusion in many aspects. <del>that</del> <strong>What</strong> can help me sometimes <del>in that</del> is to write all the structures and try to learn them completely. It also helps a lot to be studying every day because if you practice you will <del>never </del>be able to learn. So the most recommended thing is <del>after</del> doing it every day so that you arrive at a moment <del>and</del> in which learn all the grammatical structures.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For me, the listening part is more difficult because sometimes they contract the words too much and you can't understand them or they speak too fast and even confuse you or maybe you don't know some words and you can't understand them. Some ways to improve listening is to do listening practice or listen to how they pronounce to be able to understand what they say in conversations.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In my case, speaking is the most difficult skill and I think it's because when I talk to someone I don't have enough time to think about what I'm saying, so sometimes I get nervous and run out of ideas. The best advice to improve this is practice. <strong>Y</strong>ou can talk to someone who has a higher level than you and they can help you if you make a mistake, but this is not the only option. If you don't have anyone to talk to, you can also do it alone, speaking in your mind which is something I usually do, while I'm doing something I narrate it, like when I'm getting ready to go out or when I'm cooking something. <del>And </del>This has helped me a lot.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In my opinion, my worst skill at <strong>E</strong>nglish is when speaking. A very long list of ideas go through my brain, w<strong>h</strong>ich is tedious because I <strong>cannot</strong> choose what I wanna<strong>("want to"is more formal when writing)</strong> say as faster as I want to; so I speak too slow and have many pauses when speaking. I usually speak with my mom whom knows <strong>E</strong>nglish and I think it would be fine in a long term, otherwise I am willing to talk with strangers by using omegle or some websites like that. Read<strong>ing</strong> books and articles in <strong>E</strong>nglish might be useful too, because you will see new vocabulary and words you have not ever seen yet; you will also see some structures that you will keep in mind (unconsc<del>h</del>iously) when speaking or writting. Another thing I do is writting many sentences on a book, there are not specific sentences, I just write what is floating in my mind at the moment<strong>,</strong> <strong>a</strong>nd the most important you can do to improve that skill is thinking in <strong>E</strong>nglish, I mean, if you are thinking <del>in</del> <strong>about</strong> what<del> is </del>your next food <strong>is</strong>, then think <del>in </del><strong>about</strong> that but in <strong>E</strong>nglish.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;In my case<strong>,</strong> I always say when I write, always when I have writing exams I fail too much like in words or when I have to make a summary I get too lost and I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like I lose a lot of points because of that and I also see that I have to improve that part but I fail a lot in writing. I don't believe the sentence or what I want to say it's very funny for me. I like to talk a lot, but I fail in writing it's the funniest thing on my part, and I want to improve in that part because writing is very important, but I also have to improve in many things. <del>but </del>I want to focus on when I have to write and <del>write to </del>be able to improve a lot <del>in</del> my imagination when I <del>make</del> write paragraphs.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Listening is very difficult for me because I don't understand many words. Sometimes, speakers contract many words and there they make understanding difficult.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><del>So</del> <strong>F</strong>or me, the most difficult skill in <strong>E</strong>nglish is the grammar and the reason is because <del>how</del> some words change and others <del>no</del> <strong>do not.</strong> <strong>T</strong>he situation<del> too</del> depends <strong>on </strong>how I need to change or <del>modification</del> <strong>modify </strong>the word so that’s why.</div><div>Now how you can be better <del>with</del> at this skill, here <strong>are</strong> some recommendations:</div><div>You need <strong>to</strong> read, because reading you can see a lot of the rules in grammar, so you can see how they are used and <del>to</del> see what mistakes you are sometimes<del> doing</del> making <del>sometimes</del>. Writ<strong>ing </strong>a lot is <strong>an</strong>other good thing you need to do because you need to remember how you use the rules. <strong>Another suggestion is</strong> <del>and</del> practicing writing a lot of times. If you spend more time <del>in</del> <strong>on</strong> that you can be better <del>with</del> <strong>at</strong> your grammar skills<strong>.</strong> <strong>To</strong> quiz yourself is other way <del>how you can</del> <strong>to </strong>improve your skills<strong>;</strong> making like a online quiz or by your own.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The most difficult English skill for me is writing. I always struggle to find the right words to express myself in written English. That’s<strong>(when you write, do not use contractions; it is for formality) </strong>why I’ve been trying to practice it a lot lately. The first thing you can do to improve your writing skills is trying to read more in English. That way you can get more used to the English written structure. Another tip that can help you to improve your writing skills is to expand your vocabulary. So, if you don’t remember a word, you can try to find another way to express what you are thinking. Finally, I recommend you not to use a translator when you don’t know how to write a sentence. Instead, try to write it yourself and then look it up so you can learn from your mistakes.</div>]]></description>

Since I started in contact with the language, the pronunciation was not corrected appropriately and now I need to stop pronouncing what I had been saying during my studies since I was 8 years old.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I know the fastest way to be more fluent is talking English as a constant practice, especially with native people, but feeling uncomfortable is the rock on my way.&nbsp; I need to force myself searching options to practice, it is my first recommendation.

I've <del>put</del> <strong>paid</strong> more attention on&nbsp; pronunciations because before I was only trying to understand the context. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The final tip is repeating until tiredness, each word that we think is difficult to pronounce, saying several times to familiarize ourselves with the sound and mouth and tongue movements and make it easy to say.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>
