Many people ask "How can I improve my English Skills ?" Learning English takes agreat deal of time and patients. It is something you yourself can achive by practicing these skills by reading newspapers , magazines , books and Listening to music in your free time.
English is A living Language, and Changes constantly, therefore we should improve our techniques in English and formularize ourselfs to the “Changing World”
The English Department of Attarkiah Islamiah Institute has designed this English Skill Magazine issued monthly to help our students and those who wish to learn English, to benefit in improving there English language skills.
I would like to Thank the English Department in dedicating there time and effort towards the magazine.
Head of English Department
