An advice from new friend Yesterday, I met a new friend who has achieved 8.0 in IELTS speaking. She shared me lots of advice about my problem. For example, she suggested me to watching English movies to improve listening skills, especially speaking skills. Because these movies help me to improve pronunciation which is bad for me now, as well as expressing emotions in speaking English. It could increase my IELTS score when I know how to express body language and emotion in utterances, and pronounce accurately. Speaking of how to practice watching movies in effective ways, she told me that watching one movie as much as possible. Don't watching lots of movies. She also revealed that she has been watching movies from 2013 to now. Then, I should learn more vocabulary, grammar, and finally improving fluency. Thanks for her help.

Robbery near my home Today, a lot of people near my house stood in a huddle to see polices for catching robberies. While I'm learning English, I suddenly was noticed by raised voice outside my house. I imagined that having a fight based on that voice. In Vietnam, although most people like to see that, but I feel that it's not necessary because my deadline loom in my mind and I don't like seeing a fight. It could be a accident when someone is curious :) My mother who was outside in that time and knew what happened, and she called me to see the fight. It is because polices appear to catch crimes. Actually, polices don't usually appear immediately when violence erupt. Then, I stopped my study and went out to know what happened near my home. After listening neighbour tell about the crime, I think that the robbery is very stupid. The crimes include 5 members and living in one home. 3 out of 5 made a situation which got hit a women and took out her handbag. I think that the bag contained mobile phone. Maybe it is iPhone which turn on 3G and GPS, and logging her moving. The police traced the robbery and arrested crimes. Victim' relative fought them, despite it could be not good in the law. Robberies who don't know about new technology is stupid and easy to be arrested.

tackle problem of listening English Tonight, I tried to face with scare when I opened booklets from my IELTS course taken 1 month ago to practice listening skills. Actually, I knew that IELTS candidates usually don't focus on their weaknesses, for example, listening skills. It is frustrated tasks for me, despite the fact that I'd like to learning 3 other skills. Sometimes listening English make me feel bored because I don't grasp all ideas from video or audio that I listen to. Maybe I miss some words although I listen to it many times. So my method to tackle this problem is that I read and look up new words to understood all ideas. Then, I listen to English all of the time with a lots of repetitions. And, voila! I got it. The feelings of depression don't appear.

Animal symbolism of Vietnam I think that if I have to answer a question about Vietnam's animal symbolism, I will say that a buffalo is the best answer. It is because Vietnam have been a agriculture country. Vietnamese have acquainted with fields for long periods. The farmer is still hard working with their work to make their children have better education, despite having some changes today. When the authorities make a buffalo to be the country's symbolism in large sport events like Seagame, they will change buffalo's colour to yellow. It could be stronger than its origin and help the symbol more precious.

I have to remember a lot vocabulary Today, I had to remember lots of new vocabulary, following my plan set for taking the IELTS exam. Although I deeply used some techniques such as mind mapping and recording to listen everywhere, I still felt hard to memorise. Sometimes, it seems to me that implementing the plan is hard down the line, but I knew that the endurance with suited method was helpful for me. I suddenly realized that I'm still improving day by day. Perhaps my plan is so big and burn out hard efforts to achieve it, but I will continue my objectives and practice English everyday.

paying to be premium membership Today, I paid some money to be enough for become membership in Italki. Vietnamese usually uses e-banking service for paying online in the local country, but not often use for international payments. I don't have VISA which can paid in other countries, so I have to pay in my older brother's credit card. I seldom pay something like the services of Italki, because I afraid it could be not safe. However, I have to pay to write more notes, make more friends in there. Feeling of writing more which not be limited by Italki was great. From now on, I will write a lot of notes, despite the fact that it can be not fixed by native English people. I hope that a large number of notes written day to day, I will receive more corrections.

why everyone learns many languages simultaneously I saw that a lot of people in italki learn many language simultaneously. They make me seem confusing, because I only learn English now and one language is hard to become a natural speaker. I think they could found difficulties in that. Why do they learn one language and master it in 6 months ? I realized that it could be a trend in Italki.

my essay I need to prepare for the IELTS exam Thanks for your correction ! --- It is a question ---- Some working parents believe childcare centres can provide best care for children, others think other family members like grandparents can do this job. Discuss both views and give your opinion. --- My answer --- It is true that the parents often wonder whether they ought to provide children with care of daycare centers or not. While many people suppose that children receiving cares from their family members can be developed well, I would argue that institutional cares are much better. On the one hand, there are a variety of reasons why the parents have a tendency of choosing a home-based care. Firstly, it is a recognition that caring for youngsters in home satisfies the condition that is safe for children. Those who can be grandparents receiving the responsibility of paying attention to children is likely to spend a plenty of time for doing this. By this way, grandparents take care of all children's activities, which would be less injuries or accidents. Furthermore, children could be easy to make close relationship with family members. If individuals do not belong to their family, the young are probably unconfident, even be scared. On the other hand, I believe that the young are under the care of care centers is beneficial in some ways. One major advantage is that they are often live in educated environment. This is because childcare centers usually hire skilled staffs who have abilities and skills enough to foster the young. Another benefit is that children can be nurtured essential skills. Those centers often have sufficient facilities to provide them a full of activities such as art, reading and outdoors. Such activities allow children to push their imagination and learn vital skills such as collaborative and self-discipline skills. In conclusion, although both nurturing youngsters in home and taking them to daycare centers are advantageous in their own ways, it seems to me that it is better to take care of children in daycare centers.

ielts with trick, please check my mistakes Following the advice which I've just read before.. I discovered some mistakes which duped me so much. I've done a mock practice test and save my mistakes in my notebook with classified page. It's easier for me to follow and be aware my errors quickly. A book for IELTS which I'm doing is "Actual Reading 2" has 7 actual tests with 3 reading articles each test. Each article includes from around 700 to 1000 words, and the exam requires candidates to read quickly, despite with a lot of tricks. I think reading English materials so much could improve my reading skill and taking lots of mock tests correspondingly also reduce my problem choices.
