ENTRY 6: Time management.


What is time? Time are seconds which, transit to minutes, then minutes transit to hours, hours transit to days, days to weeks, weeks to years. Time is our life and life is going very fast. That’s why we have to value our time and we should learn how to manage our time only few people can keep their time in their hands.
Mr. Yaroslav taught a lot us about time management. He told that we have to make lists of what we should first, second and so on. Besides we have to know time when we are at our best. I really liked methods, which help us to fight with procrastination and learning to say “No.” 
To tell the truth I have some problems with procrastinations and I tried these methods they really helped me especially rewarding yourself works very well.
Personally I think each person should have plan for each day. Today technologies develop very fast and everyone has mobile phone and you can buy organizer or notebook to make notes and make schedules for week. I mean we have a lot of opportunities the only problem is that we are sometimes lazy.                                 

ENTRY 5: My goals and objectives


Each person has goals in his/her life and our goals change during whole life. When we are students we want to graduate from university with flying colors, get good job with good salary and buy a house. When became parents we want to give our children a good life, good education and of course save money for our retirementJ. When we became elders we want to quit everything and go to tour around the world. You see that our goals the meaning of our life.
When we had topic on this theme our teacher Mr. Yaroslav told us that goals should be smart goals, in other words goals should be achievable not like dreams. We have to make plans in order to make our goals achievable.
People are different some people easily give up when they run into problems but some people are reverse. Difficulties and problems make them stronger. I very respect people who set themselves a goal and try to reach them in spite of difficulties. We don’t have to relax because life is too short and we have to a lot of things but we have little time.

ENTRY 3: My learning style

This topic was very interesting, especially because we had test that showed us what kind of learner we are (I just like such kind of tests where you can find something interesting about yourself).  I found out that I am auditory learner. To tell the truth I was surprised, because I thought that I am more visual learner. When I want to remember something I just imagine picture. However, when I read about auditory learners I found some similarities with me. For example, auditory learners speak answers aloud or inside their heads, so do I. Besides I discuss topics with others to remember something, but I think that I am also visual learner, because as I told before I use pictures to remember something and it’s really helps me.

ENTRY 2: The language of study.

There are a lot of ways of learning English. You may listen to songs in English and watch TV or movies in English. I study at IELTE and we have one rule “keeping English”. It means we have to speak only in English with students, teachers, with everybody, thus we practice our English. This method of learning English is one of the good methods. I think when you learn English it’s very important to learn idioms. If you compare English with other languages, English language has a lot of idioms, so if you don’t know idioms, you will not understand native English speaker, besides there is one more way how to learn English well. It is to live in country where people speak in English, but of course not all people have opportunity to live in U.S.A or in Great Britain.
In my opinion everything depends on you. If you really want to learn English, you will learn. Well, I want to say that the best teacher is you learner.

ENTRY 1: My first impressions of the IELTE

 Studing  at IELTE is more difficult than I expected, it's becoming harder and harder, but anyway it's very interesting. Because teachers are very good and classes are not boring.  The most thing that i liked is the way how teachers teach us.They know how to explain clearly. Besides my groupmates are very friendly and kind. I'm very glad to study with them. I want to tell that IELTE gives me only positive emotions.
