My Reflection ,Week 4

Eventually ,it comes week 4.the last week before our finial exams.Also,It will be my last article in this blog during the time in REW. Looking back again, in the first week,the exams which I felt so nervous ,so anxious about are just in the corner now.Yes, I have to admit that even after these 4weeks I still worried about the exam,however,I know from my heart that I feel more confident now,especially about my speaking skill.

* Listening Skill

*Although I've got a good mark in the IELTS ,at first I found it so hard to do the listening practice in REW ,because of  the note-taking .I 'v never tried to take note while listening before,so it's a kind of blank for me .Fortunately,after the practice in these 4 weeks,I've grabbed some specific skill of taking-note,and in the 2 text-sample practices,I passed both,so now I really feel better about it.Moreover,I plan to listen to the listening document in learning hub to practice more for the coming exam.


*Reading Skill
*I've said in my goals that I love reading,but actually I still feel dizzy and confusing when I try to reading the English materials.However,although reading is hard,the reading exam is OK for me,because during the exam we are not asked to understand every word in the articles,which really save me.hahaha~~~


*Writing Skill
*Wow,here comes the point--writing!Yes,everybody in my class feels weak in this part,but luckily,we got the strategies about how to write a critical response.I felt confused about the structure of the response to 2 articles before,as I said in the reflection in week 3.But now,after Kate's class this afternoon,I finally got the clear structure ,so I just feel alright with it,hoping I can make it in the exam.


*Speaking Skill
*As to speaking,I have to say that practice makes perfect.In these 4 weeks I spent in Australia,I did spoke English as much as I can,and now,I find it's obviously improved.I am finally able to talk to the natives in banks and supermarket.I am preparing my oral presentation at this moment,I have to say it's a challenge for me to do this in front the whole class.I just need some confidence. But I have to try it,and I think I can make it!


That is my reflection for this week,let's pray for a good mark in the coming exams!!!
