I want to improve my English skills as much as I can before going to the U.S this winter. I have been accepted to one of the colleges in California for a master program which will start in Jan 2021.
I also kind of need to take IELTS again because my fellowship is conditional. The better I am at IELTS, the more money is given for the tuition. I recently got a 7.5(L 8.5/R 8.5/S 7/W 6) and I need a 8.0 or above. This is not my priority though. I know it takes a lot of time and effort, and I do not want to spend too much time on test preparation.
I used to live in the U.S for 2 years taking ESL courses and college classes, but now I forgot most of my English skills since I do not use English as often as I did 10 years ago.
Hope to find a great teacher that I can talk about anything with. Thanks.
공휴일 means days you officially don't work(there are exceptions). 명절 is one of 공휴일 but special and traditional like 추석(thanksgiving) and 설날(lunar new year).
