Without a good pronunciation of English, it will be complicated for us to communicate properly and understand English. 

To start with, English has  vowel and consonant sounds which can be different from our sounds in Spanish, so we need to be aware of these differences.

The first step is to be aware of this fact. Why not have a look at the usual and less common spellings for the different sounds in English? In your book «English File» you have the sounds of English and their possible spellings at the end of the book. Why don´t you visit the following link to see how a native speaker pronounces the sounds of English?. If you do this regularly,  your pronunciation will improve little by little.

And remember, good pronunciation is not pronouncing like a native speaker, it is pronouncing in a way that native speakers can understand you.
