LEARNING ENGLISH, TIPS N TRICKS

Dealing with TOEFL and IELTS

2011-12-23T07:12:00.000-08:00

These kinds of English tests are required when you are willing to continue your study abroad.

So if you are interested in registering yourselves for the test, make sure that you have made enough preparation, cause you have to spend money quite a lot--I mean, it would be a great loss, if you simply join the test without preparation, then....( no wonde)get failed.

It's not only about making yourselves learning English in tight schedule before "the day", but also about knowing THE STRUCTURE of the test. You should realize that those two tests have their own characteristics. So, actually this is also the key to pass the test successfully, besides your English competency (indeed).

But no worries...

in this era, you don't have to spend much money for expensive course--especially if your English is not "too bad". You can use the advantage of the internet. There are lots of free websites that will be helpful in giving you samples and also simulations (online), either TOEFL or IELTS.

So please, just take your time to browse. However, you should remember, you will need intensive practice, so make sure to manage your schedule for that need.

Happy learning and good luck with the test.

Chatting Camp--Getting Involved Actively

2010-01-21T22:47:00.000-08:00

When a student are learning a language, especially the foreign one, he must have an idea of being able to use the language actively. Well, it's because of the nature of language--it exists as a device for communication--both in written and oral forms.

Miss Tyas who is teaching the second grade class (the 8th year)has been applying her "Chatting Camp" method to help her students speak English better. This method gives more chance to her students to speak more spontaneously, more fluently, with more self confidence. The students also have a lot of opportunities to apply the common expressions they have got so far, including some grammatical structure which seems simple but hard to apply because of lack of practice in usage.

There are some steps which students should follow to complete this method and prove their gain in improving English speaking competence. As long as they are serious (but still getting some fun) and cooperative, they are going to get benefits from these Chatting Camp sessions. That's why, she always motivates her students to get involved actively in every session to get the best result, in the end ....

Welcome English Learning Class, with tips and tricks...on http://wel-english1.blogspot.com to learn about adjectives.

Okay....you have realized that English good sentences need verbs which are crucial and essential...
But how if we do not have or do not need any verbs to be expressed in our sentences?

REMEMBER! Verbs is a MUST!
So, although we do not have any verbs for our sentences, we have to "make" it. How?

Check this out:
We will use adjectives, still in imperative sentences/commands
silent--Be silent!
--------Be silent, please!
calm--Be calm!
--------Be calm, please!
careful-Be careful!
--------Be careful, please!

Did you see?
You do not expose any verbs, yet the verbs should exist...so?!?!? YES! Just put BE in front of the adjective. The "be" there, substitute the existence of the verb which is " a must" to make up English sentences...

Now....use your own adjectives to make up such expressions, or use these ones:
1. happy
2. tough
3. strong
4. fair
5. patient

Start with The Verbs (part 2)

2009-04-14T05:57:00.000-07:00

Welcome English Learning Class, with tips and tricks...on http://wel-english1.blogspot.com to learn about verbs.
Now you know that Verbs, even the simple ones are essential to help you make up sentences.
The previous practice helped you deal with commands, right?
Let's see...
1. Clean your room!
Clean your room, please! (more polite)
2. Wait for me!
Wait for me, please!(more polite)
3. Listen to the teacher!
Listen to the teacher, please! (more polite)
4. Study hard for the test!
Study hard for the test, please! (more polite)
5. Keep the soup hot!
Keep the soup hot, please! (more polite)
Remember, the bold-typed words are the verbs, okay?

Now, what will happen if we put "Don't" before the verbs?
1. Don't clean my room!
2. Don't wait for me!
3. Don't listen to that bad guy!

Yess....it means that we express prohibition.

Now, you see.....you can use your verbs to express imperative sentences or commands, and just put DON'T before the verbs to prohibit someone to do something.
Do you want to try it by yourselves? I hope so...use your own list of verbs to practice prohibition, or try these ones:
1. go
2. eat
3. talk
