Have you ever crashed???? (outside the picture)


The point about speed and altitude control is right on the money -
Some other points to landing:
que results in a "wing down, top rudder" technique for crosswinds, and becomes natural with practice.
One of the best things to do is practice "slow flight" at altitude, not worrying about lining up with the runway or hitting the ground. Fly level at approach speed, practice speeding up and slowing down +/- 10 knots or so. see what power settings are need for the changes. Then, practice climbing and descending at approach speed at +/- 500 feet per minute, see what power changes are needed (often RPM changes, more complex airplanes use manifold pressure, jets normally fuel flow).
Once you have a feel for controlling airspeed and altitude, you will be a lot less confused in the landing practice phase.
Good luck!
