It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then study
grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without studying too much grammar
because that will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead
of speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non-native
students do.

Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power. This could be
achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there are also some people who study
abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English speaking school, but find friends from their own
country and don’t practice English. Some others can speak English well because they live in an English speaking
environment.

Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you will only speak
English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an iPod and listen to English as much
as possible.

1. You don’t need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English.

2. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well.

3. Living in an English speaking environment, people will learn the language better.

4. An iPod may be useful for you to improve your listening skill.

The ao dai, the traditional dress of Vietnamese women, has a long history. In the early 17th century,
