there are a lot of ways to fill your mind with english instead of chinese.you can read Jane Austen(of course the english version),watch gossip girls,listen to bbc news and maybe you can think in english.but for me,the most practical way to practice english is to enjoy english songs.you should pick some specific time to do the things above mentioned.but for music,you don't need.i just turn on my mp4 when i go to bed,and listen to an album downloaded on Verycd.i'm now in love with old love songs like A Man Without Love.it kills two birds with one stone.you enjoy,and you learn.
