Friday Feelings
So, prize seekers, you have been enjoying the weekend! Good, me too!
Nevertheless, week 3 of the course is looming large. Tomorrow we have the first debate - have you read the article and thought about the issues? We should do some pairwork on the speaking test - part 2 especially. I'll be interested to see your essays. We should re-cap on task 1 writing as well.
You are another passive bunch of IELTS students, it appears. There is no obvious leader who will pull the weblog along. It's a pity because sharing ideas and posting work on the weblog can be very helpful. Ah well, you probably think that all you have to do is practise, practise, practise and learn the IELTS formula.
However, you need to think about your English language profile - how to compensate for your weak areas and maximize your strong points.
We'll be looking at the coursebook Insight into IELTS in more detail this week - have you been using the websites and reading/listening to as wide a range of English as possible?
No one is talking to me. Hello? Is anybody out there? Sometimes I wonder why I bother with these weblogs as in recent months it seems that students are too busy to take part. The first weblog www.ieltsmagic.blogspot.com was amazing! Since then the active bloggers have joined the new weblogs but the new bloggers seem a bit overawed and reluctant to participate - what a pity!
Anyway, seatbelt on this week and foot on the accelerator [within the speed limit, naturally :) !!!]
See you tomorrow (any comments/thoughts would be highly appreciated/article reviews and language queries are always welcome)
Over to you prize seekers!
Good night
Tony
