It depends on what you want to focus on. There are many types of books that present different situations that a foreigner might experience in a different country. For example: "Get a room at this hotel in English." "Order drinks for you and your friends in English." etc. But if you just want to improve your written English in general, I recommend you keep a daily journal. Talk about what you did that day and/or write down your thoughts. Try to write at least one paragraph per day. Get a language partner who will go through your journal entries with you once or twice a week and explain everything you did right and wrong.

Hello, I have found some printable worksheets you may practice cursive on. It is customisable; you must enter the text you want to write in cursive first. This is how we practiced in school: 1) Make rows of the miniscule letter 2) Make rows of capitalised letter 3) Write small single words with the letter you are practicing 4) Write multiple words in a row with the letter you are practicing 5) Repeat, repeat, repeat. http://www.worksheetworks.com/english/writing/handwriting/cursive-practice.html Hope it helped! :)

By italic do you mean cursive?

I would recommend downloading the same worksheets that grade school teachers give to their students. You can download teaching materials online, for free, and print them out for your own use.
