It is essential to read and listen to English from a wide variety of sources. Of course, it should be standard English as it is used by native speakers.
Why is this important?
If you wish to achieve a high level of spoken and written English, you need to expose yourself to a wide range of grammatical structures and vocabulary. You need to look beyond textbooks, which provide only limited language "input".
You also need to see how native speakers use structures and vocabulary, especially less commonly used words and idiomatic usage. These are best understood and illustrated in authentic language contexts.
I agree with you .Will you please elaborate it and kindly define the sources we can use as non native speakers to achieve the benchmark. thanks.
