2. Reading English books If you read English books that are well-written and show good use of the language, you can learn many new words and see how they are used. If you like to read, you can learn English by reading well-known storybooks like Harry Potter or simplified versions of famous books like Pride and Prejudice.
3. Watching English movies If you watch English movies, you can practice listening to natural speech and you can use the storyline, body language, actions and facial expressions to improve your understanding. If you like to watch movies, you can learn English by watching popular movies like Hunger Games and Kung Fu Panda.

3b Sample writing:
Dear Wenxin,
There are three good ways to learn English. One way is being interested in what you are doing. If you are interested in something, your brain will be more active and you will be more focused. If you like music, I think you should listen to English songs. If you do this, you will be able to improve your pronunciation.
It is also a good idea to read English books because well-written books can teach you many new words and how they are used. You could try to improve your English by watching English movies. This will help you to improve your listening and speaking skills and you will have a chance to listen to natural speech.
I hope these three ways will work well for you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ting
