Writing exercise

I bought a English book that name is Job’s memoirist. I wanted to know his experiences and learned grammar and new vocabularies in the book. I’m use the English dictionary to check when I meet some new word. Although that is really difficult for me, but I think I will be able to achieve improvement, if I’ll learn everyday, even only one sentence or one word.
