Very quickly, all the IELTS lessons is completed. I am waiting to receive the result whether I am passed. But actually, I don t have enough confidence that I could be passed. If passing mark is 50, I should pass. But if the passing mark is 60, I dare not say, depends on faith. I attended all 20 lessons except the last half lesson after final exam was completed.
From the course, I definitely say I have my Oral and listening English standard improve and my confidence increase that compare to the date I just left my secondary school. But I know I still couldn t reach my listening skill to the time I was in the secondary school. Especially when the speakers change his/her tone, consonant, speed and speaking style. Such as the speakers speak from slow speed to fast speed, I seem to be idle with no response and no memorisation. Maybe I am old, maybe I am never be a young man, maybe I am on the downgrade road. But anyway, I know my speaking technique is much better than I was young. But I dare not say my oral standard is now better than I was young. I just got a pass in my HKCEE English exam listening and oral component when I was completed my secondary education.
Frankly speaking, I hope to meet some friends from the course, but in fact I couldn t. Maybe there was not enough time for us to socialize during lessons, maybe they were busy in their day time work. Maybe we were all concentrated to the teacher and she was very motivating to teach us English. So we didn t talk much privately apart from the time we had to describe the movie we had been watched and answered the mock IELTS speaking questions.
I think I am used to take at least 6 months to fully prepare the notes given by the teacher. but I dare say my writing skill, especially university level English words are downgraded due to I still couldn t memory them tightly. Also lack of sleeping and long working time are another reasons that I don t have private time and fit private health situation to make revision. I always feel a bit dizzy when I am working.
That why I said "I know I (will) never reach IELTS 7 marks and TOEIC 750 marks" in my past diary. This was based on my present situation and environment.
Good luck to me and good night to everyone, I have to sleep, it is the time 11:20.
