<P><b><FONT color=#3300ff size=3>You're not the first one to tell me about this problem, though. But you know what, it's not a problem at all, because it's only when you face these situations, you realise what the occasions are, and although you do not know how to describe something or did not describe something satisfactorily, you walk away knowing what you lack. For example, you walk into a shop wanting to buy a film for your camera, and you want a 24 or 36 ??? film, but what is the word after 24 or 36? So you wonder. Although it's time-consuming and at times embarassing, you soon realise that the correct word is 'shots' or 'exposure' (either because you ask someone or simply because you pay attention to the writing on the box). </FONT></b></P>
<P><b><FONT color=#3300ff size=3>In short, difficult situations are actually the best opportunities to discover what you do not know. And what you learn through hardship is what will stick in your memory forever. Just today a student in my oral class said she had problem 'hearing' and speaking English with Singaporeans. I told her that the correct term to use is 'listening' because there was nothing wrong with her hearing, which she confirmed. So if she had been too self-conscious and afraid to talk, she would not have learned it. </FONT></b></P>
<P><b><FONT color=#3300ff size=3>Like I always say - the more you learn, the more you learn that you haven't learned! Anbd learning is fun.</FONT></b></P>
<P><b><FONT color=#3300ff size=3>So the secret is - continue talking!!!!</FONT></b></P>
<P><FONT color=#3300ff size=3><b>Anything you don't know how to describe, just drop me an email. Also, please look at my website - <FONT color=#ff0000>uk.geocities.com/ielts6789tam/answers. I am giving out free essays but only for a limited time.</FONT></b></FONT></P>
<P>Send this website to all your friends, please. I would like to expand the IELTS course</P>[em05] |
