  Hi, Dasha! I can't recommend you Davidova or any other Russians for I use audio recorded by natives only. What I can recommend is listening to podcasts. They are of different level. Please, read what I said on the top of this page. There are some links. As to audio books. They are useful, no doubt. But you should have them together with the text. You should read level 6 or originals. Do you know Englishtips.org? You can find a lot of audio fictions of different levels there. Besides, I will try to find one more link for you. That is the records of the American radio together with scripts

  Hi, Dinh! In that sentence "being" is a gerund. It means "... names because it is the second day of school"

  Dear Syed! I don't understand the first sentence clearly but I think you mean the following:
  
  Dear Mr. Nasr!
  
  I hope you are doing well!
  This email concerns my contact_ detail file that I have to upgrade. Would you mind providing me with the details such as a person's name, designation (do you mean position?), email Id, cellular phone # and his/her location (address ?).
  
  Thank you!
  
  Sincerely,
  
  (your signature and name)
  
  I am also unsure what you mean by designation. It is often used to define the information for identification of a person but it can also mean a position.

  Dear Tanya,
  Hope you are always in good condition.
  
  Your answer to Mahmoud makes me "aha moments". Because I have same problem with him. I have taken many courses and studied English long time but my English is still bad and can't speak fluently. You said that we should have one teacher so that we focus on his/her teaching. Perhaps it caused my problem. You know when I attended a course i didnt finish or complete it. I only took one or two level and moved to other course since I bored. It happened many times. Likewise English book, I have many kind of English books. I just bought and bought but havent read its. I confused with all the books, which one should I read first. If I read, as usual I just read it a little or just look a glance. Sometimes I want to throw up when I see all these stuff and have feeling desperate with this condition ( is it to much, isnt it :). Maybe the less lessons/knowledge that I took from many different sources makes me as you said have "a mass" in my brain particularly in English. It will be good if I put away some books and only keep a few, dont I ?
  
  The other problem is I shy to speak English. It suit with your explanation (the problem no 3). I have heard the solution to read louder but I rarely practice it. Now after reading your suggestion I more sure and convince my self to do it a lot.
  Thank you very much Tanya for your valuable explanation and suggestion that makes me understand and have clues what is my problems.
  
  That its from me Tanya and sorry my vocab and my grammar are still poor. If you dont mind and have time could you please correct my writing.
  Thanks a lot in advance.
  
  Success for you and have a great day.

  trust yourself and whatever you feel is right to do is right and it will make you feel so different from others... but that doesnt meant the other peoploe are wrong ..it shows that you are different from them in either a good way or a bad way:)
