Q: Talking to a person in an English speaking country can be an incredibly fun and exciting adventure to start on. They'll be able to tell you about their culture, their customs, and give you a real path to the English speaking world. And getting mail is always a pick-me-up! Students of the World and PenPal World are both good online resources to finding a penpal. You can either use snail mail or email with your new writing friend. Though email goes much quicker, snail mail can be a lot more personal and exciting. Though you won't be able to correct your own mistakes, you will be able to keep up your vocabulary and discover the words you don't know (and then look them up!). If you don't use words, you're likely to lose them -- keeping a journal daily keeps the words and phrases fresh in your head. This journal can take on a number of forms. It can either be an English journal devoted to other's musings -- where you write down song lyrics, poems, and quotes in English that you like -- or it can be writing of your own: thoughts, venting, gratitude, or just devoted to one specific topic. This tactic is good for writing and recall. Take everything in your home and label it in its English name. The goal is to start thinking in English; at home, you'll be more likely to think, "What's on TV?" if "TV" is right in front of you. Don't stop at what's in front of you (bed, chair, TV, lamp, refrigerator) -- go inside your cupboards and fridge. If there's a place you keep the dishes, label it. If there's a place you always keep the milk, label it. It'll help keep you organized, too!
A: Get a penpal. Keep a journal. Start labeling.

Q: It doesn't make sense to catch the snitch until doing so would result in your team winning. Therefore, if you're the seeker keep an eye on the scoreboard. Don't pursue the snitch until catching it would ensure your team would take the lead. Different roles require different skill sets. If you're the captain, assign roles based on an individual player's specific skills. The seeker needs to pursue the snitch, so pick someone who's very fast. If someone runs track, for example, they could be the seeker. Players with experience playing basketball or volleyball may be good chasers, as it involves pursuing, kicking, throwing, and passing a ball. Anyone who's played dodgeball or a similar game would make a good beater, as they'd be able to hit players with bludgers. If anyone has experience as a goalie in a game like soccer or hockey, they would make a good keeper. While the hoops are different sizes, the sizes do not correlate to points. Any hoop is worth 10 points for your team. Therefore, don't worry so much about which hoop you throw the ball through. This will only distract you. Focus on getting a ball through any hoop that's accessible to you. If you hit your own player with a bludger by mistake, this will hurt your team. It's easy to hit the wrong player if you're throwing a bludger in a crowded area of the field. Look for chasers in open areas, without a lot of other players nearby. These are the easiest targets to hit as a beater.
A:
Stay aware of the score as a seeker. Assign roles based on ability. Don't get hung up on the different sized hoops if you're a chaser. Target chasers in open areas if you're a beater.
