Reading Passage - Test A
Lina used to wait for a free hour before she practiced English. Most days, that hour never came. Then she changed her plan. Every morning, she listened to a two-minute news report while making tea. At lunch, she wrote one sentence about her day. At night, she read that sentence aloud and corrected one mistake. After three weeks, Lina noticed a small change. She still made grammar errors, but she answered questions faster and felt less nervous. Her teacher told her that consistent practice was more useful than rare long study sessions. Lina realized that progress did not need to feel dramatic. It only needed to happen regularly.
