6 types of bilingualism

What level do you feel you are at?

I think I'm at the passive bilingual level. The reason why I think  I am at this level is because I am a native speaker in Korean language, but I am not good at speaking English language.  I cam barely understand it.

Why do you feel you are at that level?

What do you need to do at school and at home to develop your level of bilingualism?

To develop my level of bilingualism, i should read many books as mush as I can in both languages. Also it would be good for my listening and speaking skills if I watch high teen movie or TV series in English without subtitle.

Action

Take action is to do something unsolved.  Last year,  when my friend and I were playing outside, a bird fell down from the sky. One of the bird's wing was broken. So we rode the bike and brought it to the veterinary clinic. The vet cured the bird. If I ignored the bird,  it would die at that instant. My little care help the bird to survive, so I learned about helping animals are very delightful.
