IELTS

1096 views. 2012-11-3 08:32 |Individual Classification:dairy|

I just got my achivement in IELTS, much to my surprise, the grade is so low away from my anticipation. I still can't believe it. When looking back the dairy just after the exame, it went with a positive forcast for the grade, what a huge contradiction between reality and illusion. With a total 6 score, how can I do with it, the dream of studying abroad seems so vague and slim, and I even don't know how to face up the whole thing.  I have spent almost three months to prepare the exam, during which, everyday was so hard with thinking about the methods to improve my english level, but it comes out as such a result finally,  I do can't believe it.

However, I have to accept it and believe this is true, because the grade itself lies there and nobody can change it. Do I need to take the exam again? It is so confusing because it takes too much time. But now I try to analysis the failure, in the hope of getting some lessons from it.

Writting, which turned out to be 5.5, was least thing that I practised in the preparation. From a quantative point of view, although I have looked through no less than 10 writting samples, I just finished four passages. Even worse, I didn't correct it, as a result, I just got the feeling to finish a paper within 60 minutes, but with little atttention to the grammatic and spelling faults, and the writing speed was also slow that confined the number of words. These might be the reason.

As for the speaking part, I do think I did very well, but with such a low just 5 score. If i try to analysis the poor performances in the test, it must be the part 2. The reason is I didn't reply to it with a good logic and the vocabulary didn't vary much. There was also another thing that might contribute to the disaster, When answering to a question, I spent a much longer time to think about it, while in fact i might have said something easily, since it's not hard to reply to it, but I just thought about it with too much time.

Listening and Reading were just the normal level, so i have nothing to say about it.

If I want to take one more atttempt, I might find a good partner to practise speaking and correct writing mutally. Keep writing should be of vital importance, I will try to make it. My firends, would you please help me find some faults from the writing in the future?  I will appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

I can feel that you had great expectations of passing the exam and you must been very disappointed at the result. I have no desire to hurt you more by sayings inapprortiate things. However, facts and facts and I believe you would want to know the truth so that you have enough confidence to try again.

I have assesed your standard using this blog you have written. No doubt, your english ability is strong, but the problem with IELTS is that they take away a lot of marks from grammatical and mistakes. I am sympathetic to you. You must have studied very hard, otherwise, you would not have reached this standard. You are not weak at all, so you should try again. Your standard is  like a person who has just learnt to ride a bicycle but still have problems balancing on the bike. Quite soon, that person would be able to balance and ride with confidence. What you need to do is to upgrade your writing skills a bit further and you would be fantastic.

Allow me to point a few mistakes here;
- the grade is so low away from my anticipation
= the grade is low and far from my expectation

- When looking back the dairy just after the exame, it went with a positive forcast for the grade, what a huge contradiction between reality and illusion.
= Looking back at the dairy just after the examination, I had positive and expections for passing with good grades, but it turned out to be a great disappointment. What a great contrast between reality and illusion.

- However, I have to accept it and believe this is true, because the grade itself lies there and nobody can change it.
= However, I have to surrender to reality and accept the grades because it would be futile to chellenge the results.

As for seeking a partner to practice and improve your spoken English, you have to realise that learning and teaching English is an  tedious, time consuming and long term effort. It would not be easy to find somebody who is able to take on this challenging task. Practising through watching TV and news media is a good way to improve your spoken English too.

Failure is the beginning of success. Wish you the best.
