Can one improve his or her English skills?

I'm absolutely positive that one would be able to improve his or her English skills as long as the strong determination to learn and improve is in him or her. There might be many difficulties along the way but in my opinion, that should not be the excuse of giving up to improve.

Ways of improving one's English skills include reading widely so as to expose yourself to different styles of writing and expressions, and also to increase your creative writing skills. Another way worth considering would be strenghthening your grammar and vocabularly through watching or reading the news. This would sure be be very useful in writing your essays and even the understanding of comprehension text. In addition, by watching the news, we can also improve our pronounciation which would surely be of great help to our oral examinations.

Since there are so many ways of improving our English skills, I don't see why peolple who are willing to put in effort to improve are unable to succeed in doing so.
