How to improve your speaking
This is probably the hardest thing to do, most of the time we have plenty knowledge of English but we are afraid of speaking. This is maybe because we are not sure about our pronunciation and we have an inner believe that if we speak we will be doing so in the wrong way.
Some hints to get into practice,
Use a dictionary to help you with pronunciation and stress.
Go to an Internet free page for guided speaking exercises such as www.mansioningles.com where you can improve your pronunciation.
Find out where you can talk to other speakers of English.
Read aloud!
Go to the next piece of advice!

How to better comprehend what you read
You can collect things to read in English, could be a magazine, a newspaper... choose your favourite one!
Ask your parents to get a subscription for you in English so you regulary receive information of your interest.
Read the text in portions that you can manage, such as sentences or paragraphs. Underline what you think are the main ideas of the text. This information should answer the questions what, who, when, where, why, and how.
Once underlined the main ideas, give a second reading but just to the underlined text for complete comprehension of the document.
