My impressions about the whole year study program in IELTE.

Before expressing my feelings and impressions about IELTE, I would like to thank everybody who helped me and supported me to be a real member of this program. IELTE is giving me a great opportunity to show myself, to be who I am and to improve my skills in English language. Thank you Mrs. Gulsara for helping me to improve my writing skills; thank you Mrs. Yayra for improving my vocabulary; thank you Mrs. Saida Nuritdinova for being patient with us and trying to give us much information as you can; thank you Miss Nadira for sharing your skills with us; thank you Mr. Viktor Valentinovich for making us understand Russian language clearly; thank you Mr. Yaroslav for showing us a virtual world where we can communicate and share our ideas and thank you Mrs. Saida Ergasheva for letting us to be in an equal position as Westminister and Singapur students. I’m happy for being here with you and reaching up our goals)))

Does motivation help people to succeed?

I think yes. I am the living example. Motivation really helps people to achieve goals. Because motivation is a pulling circle that people make themselves. When I was studying at school in 4^th grade I was too careless about my marks. But when my teacher gave me a certificate about finishing the 4^th grade with excellent marks I realized that if I start studying I can get another certificate. So, I made it. The certificate which was given by my teacher was a pulling circle that helped me to be one the excellent pupils of our school. I understood that if you are not educated nobody respects you and you cannot understand the meaning of life.

Should medical treatment be free in order to be effective?

People all around the world fight for something in order to be wealthy, happy and healthy.  Nowadays, medical resources are almost the main needed requirements for humanity: drugs, medical help, medical treatment etc. Some people argue about making the medical treatment free, but the others prefer it to be paid. It’s good for you if you don’t pay for the thing that you owned or got, but not always. In each sphere of our social activities we try to make our deeds more effective. We spend a lot of money and efforts so we could achieve our goals. Almost everything has its own price. Medical treatment also done by someone and that person does his work in return of something. In that way people will make their working process more effective than it was before. According to details, medical treatment was free in Soviet Union and it was much more effective. Most our parents, grandparents say that drugs were given from the hospital if you were ill. But now everything has changed, and people try to get more benefit than helping people with no money. It became as usual situation. Because we live in the world where there is a lot of competition between people and they have to survive in this competition. I think for our days medical treatment should not be free in order to be effective. What about you my dear reader?

What for I use internet?

Internet became a place where people can communicate and find any information they want in 5 minutes or maybe 5 seconds. I use it for both situations as I wrote it above. Internet gives us an opportunity to enter to a world where you can find almost everything, in any corner of the world. I use internet to see the world in a new view. Everything is changing and developing. Resources that we are receiving from the internet help us to save our time. Here is the list where I most enter to:

www.google.com

www.yandex.com

www.mail.ru

www.zedge.net

www.zvukoff.ru

Google and Yandex are the search engines which support me with information and using this information I make presentations, project works and other assignments that are giving for us as a home task. Internet is a useful helper for me. Because it’s easy to use, comfortable and the fastest resource that I have ever used in my life.

My impressions about 1st semester

Hello everybody! Here I’m again. My impression about 1^st semester, especially in IELTE was unexpected and exciting. Because I have never had an opportunity to feel myself comfortable. Subjects were not too difficult, but time was limited. I mean, we couldn’t submit our project works and our assignments on time. Everything seems difficult at the beginning, but if you try, nothing can stop you. Now I feel myself as if I studied here for a long time. I remember when we were worrying about our quizzes. University life was different and I couldn’t imagine my life in it. I thought that I would sit, listen to the lecture and that’s all. But after applying to this place I understood that my future career will be built with the help of this university. I really hope for that. My impressions are positive and I really enjoyed it.

A dairy of a computer mouse

Each single day I wake up and spend my time with doing nothing. But I’m the most convenient equipment that you may have in working with computer. I’m existing in order to make your technology process go easy and fast. I’ve heard that there is another technology which name is called “Touch screen”, but I can assure you that I can be better than “Touch screen”. My owner uses me when she comes back home from her studies. The main thing she does with the computer is her usual study materials, diagrams to make in order to comprehend, playing games, etc. I’m her close friend, and I try to help her with any of my functions. I’m becoming bored when she is not with me. I understand that she needs to be at her lessons, but sometimes I can’t stand that. Anyway, this cannot be the reason for me to be sad of her, right? I hope that she will come home earlier today and cover me with her warmly hand.

My impressions about preparing for and taking IELTE tests

Usually day before testing I spend the night by cramming. I know that it’s not effective, but it helps me somehow. As it is said in the book of Study skills, chapter 11: “you should start studying for the final exam on the first day of class”. It is quite right. But if you don’t understand the lesson or idea, you won’t be able to comprehend the whole material itself and you’ll fail the exams. My impressions about preparing for and taking IELTE tests were unusual for me. At the beginning when I took my first quiz from linguistics, I thought that I will fail it. Thanks God that this incident didn’t happen. I mean, it was good for the first time. The most effective method we have discovered with my friends was questioning each other according to the material. It can help students to remember what was covered in the class. There is test anxiety that distracts student from the test. Anxiety can harm the student, in order to avoid anxiety you should control your thoughts. If you don’t control them, anxiety may occur. So try to concentrate on the test, think about positive things, try to be in a good mood, feel yourself comfortable. Because each time when the students know that they will have a test they cannot concentrate. The fear won’t allow them to feel themselves comfortable and concentrate on the test. So, students if you believe in yourself and think that you know the material well, you can pass the test better than ever. Wish all IELTE students to pass the FINAL tests well. Thank you for your attention.

The features of my concentration

To create my study environment I start with searching for appropriate study place. Then I plan when to study, at which time, after that I try to think how to learn the material and concentrate on it. The problematic side of implementing this huge material is how to concentrate. When I’m going to concentrate, I attempt to not think about something else and empty my mental foregrounding. With this in mind, I try to find quiet place, turn off everything that will distract me and then focus on that material which was given as a task. Sometimes when I’m becoming lazy, with the help of something or someone I feel ashamed and try to pull myself back to the material. During the process I allow myself to take a break. If you work on the material all day long and don’t have a break, you’ll get tired and you won’t have much power to continue. Try to concentrate, do it step by step and, as a result you’ll concentrate more easily than before.

Time management

Time... Have you imagined your life without time? I mean if the time stops and there is nothing you can do about it. Time is very important invention for humanity. So, we must spend our time usefully. For carrying it out we must make a To Do list and organize it well. Spending your day with doing nothing it’s always waste of time. From my point of view I can tell one thing, DON’T allow yourself to waste your TIME. Try to say yourself NO when you want to play a computer game, lie on a sofa or polish your nails. It is easier when you accomplish your work and after that you should reward yourself even for a small success. Because it can help you to achieve your goals. Before doing or making something, think about your reward that you’re going to obtain. I’m sure that it will help you. I often make my own To Do list and hang it on the refrigerator or write it in my notebook. For this purpose, I put my time in order. With the help of my list I can organize my time well. No matter what kind of method you’re using, don’t worry and never afraid in making any step. Wish you good luck)))

My goals and objectives

The main goal of my life was to apply to this university. Goal, as I understand it, is to hope for something to succeed. Before entering World Languages University I set a goal and made some steps to achieve this goal. First, I tried to study hard and get only “A”s , then after lessons I had an extra lessons to deepen my own knowledge. I couldn't even sleep because of this. I was fed up with studies and wanted to stop with it. But I couldn't stop, I thought if I don’t apply to University, I won’t justify my parents’ trust. So, I said to myself:” be strong, you can handle this and you'll obtain your goal”. Finally I achieved my goal. If you have patience and strive to your goal, you’ll make it. Just one simple thing you should know and remember always is to believe in your goal and feel the moment when you’ll achieve it. Nowadays I have so many goals to obtain that I can’t count them. One of them is to study abroad and be the master of my profession. I hope that I’ll obtain them and be the needed person to my country.

My learning style

According to the test my learning style is visual. I can learn something by looking at it. I mean, when information is presented in a written form or in pictures and diagrams. In learning process I try to use highlighters to remember the word or the whole text itself. Except this, I can advantage some flow charts, wide usage of symbols or drawing things to imagine the exact figure of the word. Often I draw lines with different colors under the main word or idea and it helps me to recollect.
