Thank you .Mr.RonBee I thought you did not see the topic.
Eat but not overdone .Drink but be not over hung :wink:

Not only should he look for another articles that helpful to him but also not to keep studying school syllabuses only.

I'm a little bit puzzled about that one. Maybe Tdol can help. :?

How about:

• Not only should he keep studying his subjects, but also he should look for things to study outside school that will help him increase his knowledge of the subject.

What do you think?

Is not a case of studying the things laid out in the syllabuses rather than the syllabus texts themselves.

Um, could you put that in plain English?

:wink:

He has effectively to listen to English broadcasts on radio, watch TV, and videotapes.

I don't think has to fits well there. Perhaps:

• To improve his English, he listens to English broadcasts on radio and watches TV and videotapes.

Another important point for the student is to live in an English environment as much as he can.

• A big help to learning English is to live in an English-speaking area.

If he is able to afford expenses, he had better to travel abroad to have some basic courses, expose to the language, and bespeak to the native speakers. He will have his abilities developed, his talent sharpened and his proficiency boosted.

That can be simplified a great deal. Perhaps:

• He will be able to improve his speaking skills and his listening skills greatly if he moves to an area where a great many English-speakers live.

English words from Arabic:

• algebra
  coffee
  pajamas

We , Arabi-native speaker , have obstacles in pronunciation.

• One obstacle to learning English for Arabic speakers is pronunciation.

Also, in grammar, some differences between the two languages make it more sophisticated.

• Also, differences in grammar between the two languages cause problems in learning English.

Moreover, using prepositions is a real thesaurus; because their apparent meaning may lead us to the wrong concept.

• Moreover, learning how to use prepositions can be dificult. That is because their apparent meaning can be misleading.

How am I doing?

These are difficulties regarding the languages themselves.
There are other difficulties regarding the learner himself. First of all, he might have some troubles with his LAD---language acquiring device .

Those are all okay, but I think it is language acquisition device. I must admit that I am not totally sure what "difficulties regarding the languages themselves" means. Perhaps context would explain that.

Secondly, if he is patient, he will not get along with that.

I don't know what that means. All I am fairly sure of is that the writer sees patience as a detriment.

As is known, students in Saudi Arabia are being taught in Grammar- Translation Method, which is not that sufficient. So, they do not practice enough spoken utterance. Consequently, they cannot develop English easily.

• As is known, students in Saudi Arabia are being taught by the Grammar- Translation Method, which is an inadequate method. They do not get enough practice speaking English. Consequently, they have difficulty developing their English skills.

Nowadays, most of these difficulties are somewhat overcome by using facilities of technology. What we are to do is exploit that successfully.

• Nowadays, most of these difficulties are somewhat overcome by using modern technology. What we need to do is exploit those methods to maximum advantage.

In short, exposing to English is more important than studying it through books, articles and syllabus.

• In short, exposure to English (both spoken and written English) is more important than studying it through books, articles and syllabus.

I think that is right, but I am not certain. Anyhow, you will probably need to make some more changes once you put all the sentences back together.

RonBee, you have the patience of Job. I hope they pay you plenty many.

English is certainly the world's dominant language in that it is the language of the economic imperialists. Much much more power resides with the English-language-speaking bloc.

Arabic And English
English language is known to be the dominating language in the world. Learning English still has some obstacles attributable to mother tongue language , syllabus and environment.
It is accepted that any student often endeavors to develop his skill, ability and talent in the taught language(I think that the previous sentence is not a sentence ;it is a fragment.you must add sth). The main syllabuses should be carefully chosen in line with the various levels that student may go through. He/she may study high courses than his/her real level and vice versa. Confining to curriculums at school is not enough for a student to enhance his skills. Not only should he look for other articles that could be helpful to him/her but also not to keep studying school syllabuses only(the end of this sentence is awkward .You have used not only...but also ;then only at the end .Plz reconstruct it.). He/she(don't be sexist) has effectively to listen to English broadcasts on radio, TV, and videotapes.
Another important point for the student is to live in an English environment as much as he/she can. If he/she is able to afford expenses, he/she had better to travel abroad to have some basic courses, expose to the language, and bespeak to the native speakers. He/she will have his/her abilities developed, his/her talent sharpened and his/her proficiency boosted.

NB: If you didn't like the use of (she/he) in your essay you may replace it by the plural (they;students;people..... ) or you may use only she
It is neutral .
They are solutions suggested by my teachers for not being sexist or having an awkward sentence.
I repeat again I'm not a teacher
