144 Go for It Vicky is talking to her teacher about her English. (V=Vicky; T=teacher) V: How can I improve my English, sir? T: Well, the more you read, the better you'll write. V: And what about my spoken English? T: Practice makes perfect. Speak English whenever you have the chance. V: But I don't get many opportunities to speak English. T: Remember: You'll have to create opportunities yourself. V: What do you mean by that? T: You can't sit on your behind and hope that good things will come to you. You've got to go for it. V: I see what you mean. T: Good. Now go and put what you have learnt into practice.
