My first brochure and flyer

The next work to do in our lesson was time to create an interestng and very helpful ``sheet of fold papers``. Namely, I was very engaged in working on broshure and flyer. But, first, I couldn`t differenciate them. Later on, when I started making flyer, I realised that it`s a paper where all your invitation or business ads is included in a sheet of paper. Unlike flyer, broshure is made up of several folded pages of paper. Actually, there`s a nuisance: if you have more information to advert, you`d better create a broshure. Suggest everybody to try it once and you`ll really like it!

My test taking experience

From my experience, I can say that test taking is as not so anxious and difficult as it seems. Everything becomes easy when you get accustomed to a particular thing. For example, as far as I remember, my first day of school started from examining my ability. How about my lyceum, Olympiad and IELTS exams?! They all led me not feeling nervous when I took my IELTE exam and I made it successfully. While reading my statements, you have probably noticed that everything lies within practice, not theory. In other words, if you make every day test practice or participate in every exam without considering if it`s important for you or not, you will overcome your anxiety. Of course, take part in the exams relating to your future profession!

How well I use Microsoft and Excel

Actually, I believed that I knew how to work on word or excel, but it appeared to be not so! I could do that somehow,. but Miss. Shakhnoza taught us the easy and effective way of working on these programs so as not to waste more time! However, it was a bit hard to manage to work on word, especially on excel within a limited time! Then, after I started to practice with the programs, I almost became professional!

My wikipage project experience

Being able to create wikipage for the first time in my life and seeing my own information about libraries in Tashkent on google or other websites, I was very happy! However, it took considerable amount of time to make my wiki, especially, to select some pictures. But, as everything has its happy end, it turned to be so amazing when i was able to contribute something to social network, even small information. Thanks to our Computer Skills teacher Miss. Shakhnoza!

The way I used to make presentation

Presentation is thought to be an output skill. Namely, you show off what you have learned. Being the student of the University, presentation has become inevitable part of my study. In fact, I successfully made my first oral report. Because presenting any kind of material is equal to speaking in public places. So, confidence, feeling free, fluency in English and body language are the most essncial aspects of presentation. And, all of these skills I gained through much efforts. How much practice I do, so much confidence I obtain and my spirit becomes higher and higher. That means no need to be afraid of speaking in front of people. What about body language, it`s naturally given talent to me, that is, I use them spontaneously without any practice in advance.

The most Important Thing

TRY TO MAKE A PRESENTATION SO AS NOT TO GET BORE THE LISTENERS!!!

My first presentation

I`ve already studied one term in the University and experienced many presentations on different subjects. IELTE has its strict criterias in making oral report and witout any difficulties, any excitement I managed to do it successfully because if you are self-confident about your knowledge and in general, yourself, it doesn`t make you troubles by any means!!! For example, I got 94 from Integrated Skills due to my speech accuracy, organization, information and the way I delivered the material to our students.
Lately, we`ve covered the topic ``Oral Report``. In this chapter there`s the information about chosing the topic which should be narrow so that we could cover more specific one! We also need to develop our bibliography. Secondly, practice in which we should put our theory into practice by talking in front of mirror, taping our voice or just presenting it to our friends. Thirdly, if you are sure about yourself and willing to present you ready work, you are welcome. There`s no advice for this because if you`re confident, your hands and legs will help you freely.

My Goals and Objectives

Study Skills provides with excellent information about how to set goals. There are five basic steps to follow: First, direction - where to get your targeted aim from. Second, plan - you should arrange how to get. Third, implementation - putting your plans into action. Four, evoluation - go over in what way you did all these aims. Objective is the short-term action with the help of which you can definately achieve your GOALS gradually. Three years ago, I also happened to have accomplished my aim by these steps, but just now I realised that I had processed these important four strategies. It is really of great importance.

The Study Habits and Learning Styles

Every learner of particular subject area has always had their specific study habits and learning styles since education is the most significant part of our lives. Many of them even publish their books about how to make learning styles better and how to urge readers get accustomed to the habits which publishers offer. And, of course, writers` books are based on their experiences. Taking account these facts, I came to a single opinion about learning habits and styles. As I`ve never relyed on someone`s advice or suggestions, I built up my own rules which are, I think, unique in our University. For example, I try to find the comfortable place to study: it can be attic, bench or just my bed. And mostly, I don`t do my hometasks when I have the chance to do them even if before exams. I just cram, but I don`t intent to advice this habit to students... By this, I just want to say that learning habits depends on person`s ability whether they can catch the material at once or not... But still I follow some rules that Study Skills book gives since it`s the only reliable book I`ve interested in. In the end, I`d like to say thank you For your attention!!!

My first Impressions and Expectations

Before applying for IELTE, I didn`t know how to menage my time, place, to study as these are the most essencial things for being a good learner. Fortunately, I entered IELTE by gaining the highest score and got acquanted with subjects which are distnctive. One of them is Study Skills that helped me to strengthen my memory, and to be ready for tests. I advice those students who are reading my blog to follow the strategies that Study Skills offers.
