It is really great to find out about English people, cities and events.  When I study new words I repeat them many times aloud. At our English lessons we speak English, play games, read and translate texts. I like to discuss relation between people. Usually it is easy for me to do my English homework. I like to write projects. It is difficult for me to learn English poems and songs by heart but I try. I have a very good English - Russian dictionary at home.
