How to study English well?

Hi Tdhung, U didn't seem to understand what I said exactly. My problem is not the way I can't understand native speakers, but I'm afraid of that I cope with speaking to them, so I can't listen to the tape. I will take ILTS exam in the future, but I don't have time to listen to the tapes. Do you understand what I mean? Can you give me any more suggestion?
Thanks Ladybird. I'll try the way U told me
Tôi sống và luôn luôn muốn tận hưởng cuộc sống

Hi Lovely ... Star
Oops, it seems you and I could not get to the same wave length . Anyway, stay calm, and stay positive . You'll do fine with tape listening . I don't see any difference . You'll do fine , LovelyStar. I do understand your concern but , be confident, lady. I have no doubt that after you take the test, you'll look back and laugh at your unnecessary worry.

English Grammar
Past perfect tense
A past perfect verb always includes:

had (for singular or plural) + a past participle

Example: They announced that he had resigned for personal reasons. He reported that productivity had declined.

A past perfect continuous verb includes:

had (for singular or plural) + been + an ing verb

Example: When he took over, productivity had been declining for two years.

A past perfect passive verb includes:

had (for singular or plural) + been + a past participle

Example: The new software had been purchased before his arrival.

Note: The past simple tense is used when events are described in the order in which they occurred

Example

In March 1998 she started a management course at Harvard. Three months later she found a part-time job.

Note: The past perfect tense is used when, in describing the past, we briefly refer to an even earlier event

Examples

When she began her part-time job in June 1998 she had already started a management course at Harvard University.

Note: It is easier to understand the past perfect tense if you think of it as an earlier past tense. Earlier past events or situations are indicated by the past perfect tense. The past simple tense and the past perfect tense are often used in the same sentence.
Examples
Several senior employees had left the company by the time the new manager arrived.
Before the installation of the new line, productivity had been very low.
Until the new software was purchased, the staff had struggled to keep the accounts records up to date.

Over the past twenty years, the average size of households has fallen.

Example:
They have completed the research. (meaning: a short time ago; here it is).
They have arrived. (meaning: a short time ago; here they are).
Note: With present perfect verbs, indefinite time expressions may be used.
Example:
They have just completed the research.
