you should speak and talk to english speaking people as much as you can.
2 :
I suggest you read newspapers online and find someone to speak to. It is also very good practice to write the language you want to speak. The IELTS test is fairly rudimentary but you do need to have an idea not only of English from books but also general conversation.

"The legend of Urashima TarÅ (浦島太郎, 'Urashima TarÅ') is a Japanese legend about a fisherman who rescues a turtle and for this is rewarded with a visit to the Palace of the Dragon, or RyÅ«gÅ«-jÅ." "One fine day a young fisherman named Urashima TarÅ was fishing when he noticed a small turtle being tormented by some children. TarÅ saved it and let it go back to the sea. The day after a huge turtle approached him and told him that the small turtle he had saved was the daughter of the Emperor of the Sea, who wanted to see him to thank him. The turtle magically gave TarÅ gills and brought him to the bottom of the sea, to the Palace of the Dragon (RyÅ«gÅ«-jÅ). There he met the Emperor and the small turtle, who was now a lovely princess. TarÅ stayed there with her for a few days, then he was caught by the desire to go back to his village and see his aging mother, so he asked her permission to leave. The princess said she was sorry to see him go, but wished him well and gave him a mysterious box which she told him never to open, for whatever reason. TarÅ grabbed the box, jumped on the back of the same turtle that had brought him to the Palace, and soon was home. But everything had changed. His home was gone, his mother had vanished, the people he knew were nowhere to be seen. He asked if anybody knew a man called Urashima TarÅ. They answered that they had heard someone of that name had vanished at sea long ago. He discovered that 300 years had passed since the day he had left for the bottom of the sea. Struck by grief, he absent-mindedly opened the box the princess had given him. Out of it came a cloud of white smoke. He suddenly aged, his beard grew long and white, and his back bent. He was now a very old man. And from the sea came the sad, sweet voice of the princess: "I told you not to open that box. In it was your old age …" As always with folklore, there are many different versions of this extremely famous story. In one, for example, after he turned into an old man he took the body of a crane, in another he ate a magic pill that gave him the ability to breathe underwater. In another version, he is swept away by a storm before he can rescue the turtle." For the full story in English, see "The Story of Urashima Taro, the Fisher Lad" : http://www.rickwalton.com/folktale/japan03.htm

How can I increase my chances to get a job at an embassy?
How can I increase my chances to get a job at an embassy?
I am curious if anyone has strong ideas on what I can do to get a job in a US embassy in East Asia, preferably in Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan. I am currently an undergraduate student who is close to graduation and I want to go teach English for a couple of years in Japan, and then maybe a couple more in Korea and work my way up to have some skills, but I was wondering if there were any suggestions people could make though education or experiences/skills which could help me. I don't have the money to go to graduate school, and I am not looking to be the ambassador, but I am looking to work somewhere in an embassy or counsolate general. Any suggestions on what I can do or what kind of skills I should have? I can already speak a little of Japanese and my Korean is a bit better. I am currently studying East Asia with a focus on Japan and Korea (no classes on Taiwan at my university). Suggestions?

I can suggest that you write to the Secretary of State's Office and ask them this question. They can give you up to date help on this and give you excellent help. Go to www.state.gov and go from there!
2 :
If you are interested in working for the embassies, I would recommend you to contact the State Department. You might find http://careers.state.gov/ helpful. I believe you are looking to work as a specialist or officer?
3 :
If you are a US citizen, you basically have two options - get a job through the US Department of State or one of the represented agencies, or go to the country in which you are interested in working, arrange for your own residence/work permit, and then apply for a local hire position. Research each US foreign mission location on the Department of State websites for further information.
