Fly the approach as normal, but when you would normally throttle off and touch down, don't. You are not allowed to touch the runway, you should fly 1-3 feet above it. Touch the runway and you loose. When you are approx halfway the runway, throttle up and go around.
I can really recommend this.

I was made to do this by an instructor that was checking me out on the type I currently fly. It made learning the correct 'picture' (what the view outside looks like) a doddle and got me used to handling the aeroplane in the configuration, speed and attitude it would be in in the seconds before touching down. We only needed one or two passes and I've not had a problem landing it since.
