Refection for week 3

Today is the first day of week 4. time passes fast and I can not realize that i studied 3 weeks.
In week 3, I had the CAT and today, I received the result. I know that i made again mistakes that i did in several essays before. Problems about spelling, grammar which i have tried to fix, however, It seems not work. :((((. Here some summery of week 3

Writing:
Now, I will write a critical response, however, different from what i wrote in the first three weeks, I 'll write a critical response for two articles, which has been becoming difficult. I need to compare two these and give my own opinion that which is more successful.  I also find it is quite hard to find the correct main arguments. Today, Carla gave us new writing model and honestly it makes me feel less stressful about writing. New model is like the combination of two single critical response and the combination is in the conclusion. This is much easier.

Speaking:
I finished my  presentation's preparation this week. After more than five time changing, finally, i chosen my topic: Idioms. I will talk about definition, why people who speaking English as the second language should learn English and giving some tips to help them learn it easier. Especially, i will try to give some exiting example of idioms. I found several of them from Swanton library and i think this library is very useful because i can find numerous presentation material in this. By the way, I almost finished my power point. It does not look nice, however, up till now, i do not think i have enough time to make it better. ^^.

Reading:
Reading seem the easiest part in comparison with other three parts. We will have 20 questions include short answer and sentence completion. Some of my friends think that there are only 20 questions and it has became easier. however, i think if there are more questions, it would be more safer. I have some problem in sentence completion and i think this week i need to focus on this. In this part, grammar is that i need to be careful when reading.

Listening:
Oah.....Listening is really really really big problem. I have paid a great attention in writing whole 3 weeks and totally forget listening. And now i realize that, this week, i need more focus on listening . I swear with myself that i will go to ILC everyday and listen ted.com. I promise i will spend 1 hour per day to listening. I feel scare about it because i am told that 60% students failed in the last E7 because of listening. They could have put to much there focus on writing and presentation an forgotten listening.

Haizzzz. Admittedly, there are too much things had to do in E7 and i feel overload. Luckily, we do not spend 10 weeks in E7 like the next module. Ok, only one week before having test. Try my best and go straight way toward University ^^

  3. I agree with you that listening is a big problem.In fact I'm quite worried about the listening text too because it is so unpredictable and I think it's hard to be control.
