To sum up

I want to say that I’m really glad to study at IELTE. I want to say thanks to all teachers who teach me and who don’t teach. Special thanks to Miss Yayra and Miss Gulsara. Since Miss Yayra has been teaching us my vocabulary improved. I also improved my writing because of Miss Gulsara. I really liked the style of study at IELTE. I learned a lot. I feel that I improved my speaking because of our rule always keeping English. The study year is ending you may not believe me but I don’t want to go to vacation, because I don’t want to leave my group mates. Goodbye IELTE! See you at the second course!

Anorexia

Anorexia is an eating disorder  where people starve themselves. Anorexia usually effects on adolescents girls. Why? I think because of magazines and television. There young girls see beatiful models or movie stars without any fat. But they don't know that magazines and televison lie. Actually these models and stars don't look like that. If you saw them without make up, you would see that they are not so beautiful. they do it to make money. To sell a cream from wrinkles or ointment for loosing extra weight and girls beilive and buy all these things. Young girls don't think that there is another way to lose weight. Just to eat healthy food and do exersices that's all. this is the main reason of anorexia. Girls please try to love yourself even if you have some extra weight. Better have extra weight than to be anorexic!

The most important value in my life

The most important value in my life is family. My family consists of the closest people I have in this world.  My family is very important for me because only family help me in difficult times, only family believes in me, only family never betrays me, and only family really wants to see me happy. I don’t want to say that my friends or other people wish me bad things nevertheless I can’t completely trust them.

Today we live in the world of stress and troubles and only at home you can just relax, because you are with your family. There is no principals, no bosses, and no clients who are always discontented. There is love and happiness. I know sometimes it is not everything good in family, but if you pay attention you will see that there are more good times than bad times!

Internet

Today students can’t live without internet. We use it for chatting, study and to gather information. Personally I use internet for contact with my relatives who live abroad. I use odnoklassniki.ru and for videoconference I use Skype. If I want to find some information about something, usually I use Google or Wikipedia.

Sometimes I use internet for download music, pictures, or videos. I use internet approximately 30-60 min almost every day. Well I can’t live without internet (but it doesn’t mean that I’m addicted), because I need it.

My impressions about 1st semester

The first study year it is very hard time for every freshman, especially 1^st semester. So it was really hard to me, too. At the beginning everyone was afraid of quizzes, midterms and finals, but after some time we got used to. And now there are some students from my group, who became A students (but not meL). During first semester I learnt a lot, for example how to do good presentations. And even one of teachers said me that I do presentations not bad. Besides I made a lot of friends whom I really like and respect. Well I expected that to study at university it’s so boring but it turned to be very interesting and even fun place!

ENTRY 9: My impressions about preparing for and taking IELTE tests

Preparing for test taking is nervous and hard period for each student, especially if student are going to have first test and I am not exception.

From one side preparing for test taking is tiresome because students have to learn material in a short time. As a result we are tired and tense. Of course we know that we have to study a little every day, but to tell the truth we not always have time to do it.

From the other side preparing for test taking teaches us to be organized and to be patient.

Everything has good and bad sides and we should learn to attitude to everything with optimism.   

ENTRY 8: The features of my concentration.

I guess each student wants to pass exam with flying colors, that’s why concentrating during preparing for exam is really important. The first what I do is preparation. Before studying I try to relax and rest. Then I turn off everything television, radio and so on.

I think a firm schedule is the best way to get good grades on exam, but of course I give myself breaks while studying. However break shouldn’t be too long. Otherwise it will be really difficult to concentrate after big break. Personally for me it’s really difficult to concentrate. Even of it is quite and nobody distracts me. My problem is that I always thinking about something. I start to read my thoughts just go away and I hardly control them. Accordingly students should learn how to concentrate.
