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.
