English improving

Read books. In English. Many books, and not the ones with pictures. I'll sink in eventually.
Staying away from grammar-abusing places & stuff would help (most forums, reddit, light novels...).
Alternatively, if you've got the basic grammar, buy some kids' homework / summer hoomework books (according to your level), and practise.

Since this is a thread about proper English; I've grammar, punctuation and spelling Nazi'ed your post.
Decent suggestions though.
Note: I'm unsure if you're telling them to buy a book off a kid, or books made for kids. I'm assuming the former so 's , s' is only used when the word naturally ends with an s. I suppose you could also intend to have him go buy homework books from multiple kids in which case it would be s' but that seems a little dicey...

I think it can be hard task. Truly say I am bad in English a little. I attend to grammar class and try to read many books in English. Writing compositions with bad English skills is bad idea, because you will have a lot of grammar mistakes and better

That's fair enough
Additional advice: make sure you're not too tired when you test yourself, or you'll make a poor display of whatever you are supposed to know already...
I meant both, actually (and somehow my brain thought it was a great idea to garble both sentences into a single one):
- buy some used textbooks from kids at the end of the term (checking your own level with actual kids might be a good idea to know which grade we're talking. Pick one of your friends' kid, not a random one in the street xD)
- buy exercises books (workbooks?) meant for kids. Repetition makes perfect. Just my 2 cents, but absolutely avoid using a computer/phone: pen & paper is where it's at.
