English*
practice*
Maybe subsititute "unique" with another word. Maybe change "unique chance"
to "only chance", or "best method"?

Saturday*
Instead of "I have bought this morning", I think "this morning" should be
first. Like: "This morning I bought an MP3 player..."
End the first sentence at Saturday. Like: "Today is Saturday."
Instead of "to listen to"... maybe try "so I can listen to"? How about
this - "Today is Saturday. This morning I bought an MP3 player so I can
listen to an English program that I record every night from the Internet."

Maybe "it also" instead of "also it".
Something like "has a cable that can be connected to a radio to directly
record from it" might work better.

Possibly put a comma somewhere in "because with it"
Maybe "because, with it,"?
"will be able to" refers to the future, so "listening" would have to be
"listen".
Possibly like this - "listen to radio programs in English all day".
With such a long sentence, you might want to end it there, and start a new
one with "This may help me get used to English being spoken at a normal
speed."
Maybe change that whole last sentence to "This is important, because
listening to English in a normal setting is more difficult than listening to
an instructor speak it slowly"?
Don't think too much of my words... I'm not very educated in English, and
may have made many mistakes in this post. But maybe the suggestions I made
could help in a few ways. Good luck
