Reflect on your experiences of (trying to) read and write in your target language.
From my experience of learning Korean, I think that I am better at writing than my reading. The writing part is based on sending messages to my Korean friends. By sending messages to them in Korean, I will try my best to express what I want to say in simple Korean, and if I write something wrong, my friends will correct me immediately. So, most of my writing practices are by sending messages, and it really helps me improve a lot when someone can correct me immediately or teach me another way of expressing what I am trying to say. However, I am not really good at reading. I think most of the reasons come from watching the dramas. By watching dramas, I am used to listening Korean but not reading them. Also, there are no many chances that I will read Korean in daily lives. Although, when my Korean friends will also message me in Korean, yet, they know my Korean level and will send me in the easiest expressions, so my reading really does not have improved that much. Thus I think to be better at reading, I will push myself to read more in Korean in the future by trying to find some lyrics of songs or stories, and try to read and understand them as much as I can.
