Ruhi: Hi Ruba.
Ruba: Hello dear.
Ruhi: Can you have some discussion on how to improve the communicative competence?
Ruba: Oh sure. I can help you a lot.
Ruhi: Thanks, but how can I develop my communicative competence?
Ruba: It is a practice, practice and practice. And you have to practice speaking, writing and listening as well.
Ruhi: That’s a good idea and I think you will help me to practice speaking.
Ruba: I’ll be happy to do that. What we can do is that every day we can talk at least 10 minutes over phone.
Ruhi: Sure, let us make a rule that whatever we talk we will talk in English.
Ruba: Ok, agreed and you have to practice other areas too.
Ruhi: So, how can I develop writing skill?
Ruba: You have to practice writing. A good way may be writing the composition by yourself.
Ruhi: And the listening one?
Ruba: You can watch BBC, CNN and try to understand what they are telling about. You can also practice some lessons using cassettes and CDs.
Ruhi: Many thanks for your input. And we will start from today.
Ruba: Yeah, of course. Bye.
Ruhi: Bye.
