Study English

        I love studying English. That's a reason I always work hard - my teacher told me that and I also feel the same.  It has been 2 months since the day I registered for English class in WSI. School fee is expensive if I don't want to say that it's the most expensive in Singapore for part-time studying. I never regret about that. I think that's one of the best decisions I've ever done after New Year. The service is very good. There are 3 visits per week, 1 hour per visit.

    The first and also the most important one is Encounter class. This is mandatory for student. That means you must finish this class before you can go to next Unit. There is only one student, one teacher in the class as usual. It's rarely to have more than one because students in the same Unit book class in different time. I forgot to say that the the study time for this class is dynamic. I can call to the center to book a class whenever I feel free and I also can cancel when I'm busy. In the class, the teacher will check the student manual (home work) and help to fix the errors. Because there are so much exercises, teacher only checks the writing section. The remains, student can check again the Key at the end of the book. After that is the free discussion. Student can ask what ever he/she want to know, to clarify. For me, I mostly focus on the pronunciation. I'm very bad on this subject.

    The second class is the Social class. Time is fixed and all students can join this class. Teacher will give out an topic/game/...and then we follow. Students are divided into a small groups from 2 to 3 for each one. I remember last time I studied about phrasal verb, before that is the business writing, pronunciation, show the famous place of our country, ...There are 2 Social class per week. One on Wednesday and one on Saturday. There are around 12 students attending thisclass.

    The third one is Complementary class. Only students in the same color (level) can take part. In general, we are categorized into 4 groups: Survival, Way Stage, Upper Way Stage and Threshold. Luckily, I'm in the highest level (red). Only 4 or 5 students get together. It's small enough to ask teacher and talk with each others freely.

    I registered this course just after I'd returned from New Year holiday. That's right decision. I'm feeling my English is being improved day by day. What's the reason? Because I do spend time to study everyday. Yes, everyday. That's the most important one. Beside that, I have a good method to study. That's practice and practice a lot. My responsibility is practice, following the guideline. The teacher's responsibility is to help me to go on the right way. No force, no stress, only help and support. In this school, I'm taught to pronoun correctly. I studied about aspiration. I recorded and compared my voice with the native one, ....

    This afternoon, I had an Encounter class on Unit 45, the first unit on Threshold 3. I've finished 2 level (Threshold 1 & 2). There are 2 more levels to go. If I keep going, I'll finish in 2 months.I'll spend last 2 months for reviewing again.
