    I have found that reading challenging texts out loud has helped my writing, reading, listening, and speaking.

    People mock me for it. But it develops an active vocabulary faster than anything that I have stumbled upon for myself.

      “I have found that reading challenging texts aloud has helped me improve my writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills. Some people may mock me for it, but I’ve discovered that it enhances my active vocabulary more quickly than any other method I’ve tried on my own.”

      I’ve made some revisions so that English speakers can better understand your text.

        Totally unnecessary, and bizarrely patronising.

        If anybody was struggling to understand that comment then they are not an English speaker…

        He’s not looking to be published, he’s just trying to communicate, and doing so very effectively.
