#IELTS Writing

[lordkryze]

Haven’t studied Italian for 3 days because I’ve been preparing for my IELTS test (zero writing knowledge) and playing Assassin’s Creed. I’ve also started studying outside (so dark academic of me). Need to practice more to be able to complete those writing tasks successfully.

This is beside the point but like. I have to take the IELTS the upcoming years and I intend to study by myself since our family can't cover the training center's fees.

So I just wanna ask if anybody can share any tips/ methods to practice Writing and Speaking without actually going to a training center? 🥺🥺🥺 I think I can deal with Reading and Listening just fine but I don't suppose learning S & W alone without someone correcting you as you go would be of any help... 💀💀

I heard about using AI but haven't actually figured it out either. Please if anybody could help I'd extremely appreciate it. 🥺

My first-day writing diary

First, I would say that I decided to create a Tumblr account because I want to record my journey as a normal college student together with finding someone to help me with my writing skills on this platform. This is the place where I used to share my experiences, what I have faced throughout the day, and the whole 4 years of college or you can just simply think that you are reading a silly diary of a Vietnamese girl..hehe... Then give me some feedback about my writing... I'm willing to receive your feedback. Right now, I'm gonna tell you about my 1st day as an English tutor for sixth-grader.

I woke up late in the morning at 7A.M. Then as normal, I grab my phone and surfed Facebook. In Vietnam, we usually do it, that's why the old generation always calls us "The lazy Gen Z". In ancient English, they will call this "Dysania" which is used to describe someone that doesn't want to get out of his/her bed in the morning. I know this is a bad habit but I'm trying to get rid of it recently. At 9AM, I used my motorbike to go to my student's house. His name is Hai. Unfortunately, Hai is busy in his piano class... well actually, I was misheard the day for tutoring him. It was on Thursday but I mistook it for Saturday.... I was waiting for so long that his parent asked Hai's friend to come and study for him instead. The girl is the same age as Hai. She is so elegant, charming, and cute. Because I was prepare my lesson plan carefully and neatly, I was so confident to tutoring her... we learn about the Solar system, doing quizzes and game..that was just so Amazing...We talk to each other and she told me that her sister was studying in Finland at Aalto University in Espoo. I thought her family is rich and the special thing about her family is they love to study, discover new things, and go outside the world. That is what I wish my family could think about. My family is in the countryside of Vietnam. My parents are both farmers so they did not encourage me to go to university. They just want me to go to Japan or somewhere in the world to work as a manual worker for earning money. But I know I love studying, seeing my sister at college, a wonderful horizon for a study that I never stop dreaming about made me suffer from stress for a long time. My parent says that going to university cost so much money and they can't afford it. At that time, I was crying a lot, I won't tell anybody and stop talking to my parents..... But one day, I don't know why I made a call for my uncle and convince him to talk to my parents to persuade them to allow me to go to college. Then he agrees and there you go... I'm here as a college student. Sometimes, thinking back about that interval, I criticized my parents for that a lot. But it was just not the case right now. I think I've made some small changes recently, reading books (my favorite one is Atomic habits by Jame Clears), learning IELTS, preparing lesson plan and enjoy the world, working in Ho Chi Minh city is a different life from the countryside. I love Ho Chi Minh city sometimes charming, sometimes appealing and dynamic but also lonely. This place give me the opportunity to discover myself, and teach me how to be mature and better day by day even with some stumbling blocks (or a-knock- out I thought). ... I will try 200% effort not for anybody but just for myself... I promise, this is my commitment...

Back to the story of tutoring, when Hai's sister came home after her Pre-IELTS class, she want to learn IPA so I teach her and Hai's friend at the same time. I also play Dan Hauer Video On Youtube for them to learn English and I was so surprised that they like that a lot. Hai's sister is 14 years old but she is so intelligent, she has learned Chinese, piano, extra-math-class, swimming, martial art, etc. I discovered that she like reading books and learning Chinese like me so I will have to teach her these fields as her mother asked me to do.....(sigh...). At 11 AM, the class finish but unfortunately, it rained outside a lot... I went to the dorm in my motorbike with a soggy look.. But I'm still happy... I know I love teaching and I'm enjoying it...

A brief triumph today as I was marked ‘Excellent’ in our English writing class!

Question: Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

One prevalent subject of debate among parents is the extent of autonomy given to children in respect to day-to-day decision-making on issues like clothing, eating habits, way of leisure and the possible impact it has in their sense of responsibility. While the art of judgement is imperative in the early stage of a child’s life, I strongly believe that parent should dictate their decisions for them and only allow them to have control over their choices in important issues affecting them as this will result a more disciplined and responsible generation.

On the one hand, the equilibrium of the society is disturbed hence will produce self-centered individuals if children are always granted of choice in their everyday lives. Take for example a childhood friend of mine who was born with a silver spoon in her moth. All her life she got used to her parents always granting her wishers and command. That when her birthday came in the midst of her father getting laid off at work, she started becoming stubborn and locked herself in a room since he cannot fulfill her wish of a grand celebration. What her parents thought as a practice of independence and free will to their child eventually led to a condescending and undisciplined youngster who only considers herself in decision-making.

On the other hand, restricting choices to children at an early age will increase the odds of discipline and success landing in their favors. For instance, having lived in a family who struggle to make ends meet, we were somehow forced to rely on what is dictated to us by our parents. Form the food served on the table, clothes laid out on bed for us to be worn and even practical option of getting enrolled to a government school – we did not have the liberty to day “no”. Otherwise, it will be “nothing”. However, despite not exercising free will, these practices cultivated a sense of responsibility in us to think out of the box and make the most the limited resources chosen and provided to us by our parent.

To sum up, parents could be forgiven for thinking free will in decision-making yields independence in their children. But in reality, tit is the lack of alternatives that helps breed a more responsible youngster.
