My first ever opinion essay here - It's kinda hard writing my thought as a formal writing

Day 3

Choose an online article and write an opinion essay about the topic, including some ideas from the original article.

You Need These 3 Ingredients to Build Stress Resilience (click the title to read the article)

I believe that we should not avoid stress and any other negative emotions. Rather than avoiding them, we should "befriend" them by realising, welcoming, understanding, and managing them. (Read my article (in Indonesian language) Menyadari, Menerima, Memahami dan Mengelola Personal Branding Layaknya Perasaan)

This article represent what I believe in simpler way. It tells us to practice resilience, which includes awareness, equanimity, and flexible coping.

Being aware is the same with realising what is going on with our emotion. Do we perhaps feels like we cannot breath easily? Then it might be that we're angry. When we're angry, chest is the most area that will feel burdened, like it is fired by flame. Recognising or being aware to our emotion is the first step or becoming resilience.

Then, equanimity is the same as welcoming and understanding. It won't be any better if we only recognising our emotion without trying to do anything about it. Do not chase away our negative emotion. Instead, we should welcome them, then understand them. If we're stopping right at welcoming, then it is the same as bringing back a stray kitten without any care of maintaining its health and behaviour. And that is not good.

After that is flexible coping. In my opinion, it is the same as managing emotions. Note it: managing, not avoiding. According to the article, avoiding our negative emotions (avoidant coping) 'can reduce distress, often immediately'. Therefore, the need to be flexible toward our negative emotions is necessary. Try to do something meaningful, such as helping other people, cleaning our home, doing our hobbies, et cetera without indulging it toward the negative side.

I strongly disagree that people should hide their feeling all the time, even with their family and close people. That build up negative emotions could lead to distress (depression, anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder). In the end, we should be aware of our emotions, approach it with equanimity, and cope them with flexibility.

Hi Allie, I think I have seen you answered some questions about your experience in England recently and know that you are actually from Brazil. Do you speak English as a mother language or just learnt it in school and only use it on the internet or on studies/works? I ask this because I only use English on the internet and read the news and still I have so many unknown words to learn... I have also learnt another language in college, and I am really into languages but I just do not feel like remembering all the vocabularies. I would like to know your experience in languages since you speak both English and Brazilian Portuguese. If the question sounds too personal to answer, please just ignore me.

Hi, darling. No, it’s okay! I will be happy to help. I’m going to answer under the cut because that's a long one:

So, the thing is… I barely spoke any english until I was like 18, I think?! I learned a bit of english at school like everyone in brazil but, honestly, what we learn is not even enough to form a coherent sentence, is it? I think the internet (but mostly songs and video games) helped a little bit when I was younger as well but I never really felt interested enough to *actually* learn a language.

What pushed me to finally learn it properly and for good was my ex. He speaks surprisingly very good english since he was younger, so that motivated me a lot. So honestly, I just decided to put a lot of effort into it because I thought it would be something useful in the future for me. And I know it sounds cliché saying that but what is going to bring your english to the next level- especially in terms of vocabulary - is to really immerse yourself as much as possible. What worked for me was to do everything I already did in portuguese also in english. So… books, podcasts, movies, songs, youtube, twitter, etc etc. Really, everything! Learning a new language as an adult can be really tricky, it’s not easy, so the only way of building a solid foundation is to get in touch with it as much as possible. I never really learned english properly, to be honest… like, actually studying. It was from reading and listening to other people talk. Plus, I also travelled a lot during that time, so it helped to improve my speaking a lot as well. And then my ex was transferred to England and I wanted to do a postgrad course there so I had a goal in mind and I studied for the IELTS test and I did pretty well!! And obviously living there and going to uni made my english 100x better. I barely spoke any portuguese while living there. I think one of the main reasons why brazilians can’t speak good english most of the time it’s because we’re lazy 😂 we look for other brazilians to speak portuguese, we try spanish before trying english. And not doing any of that and immersing myself as much as I could was the best thing I did. And of course, university helped a lot, especially with having to write stuff on more of an academic level.

Right now my life is really confusing when it comes to that hahaha I’m back living in Brazil for four years already, and in the first two I completely stopped practising, I was soooo rusty!! When I realised that, I immediately tried to get back to the things I used to do before. So I *never* see anything with subtitles in portuguese, always english or no subtitles. I only read books in portuguese when they’re originally in portuguese, otherwise, I *always* get the english version. It’s the small things and the consistency, to be honest. Coming back to blogging also helped me so much! Now I talk with you guys every single day, so I’m always practising. It helps a lot! It’s important to practice expressing yourself in english and not only listening and reading it. My speaking, though, is kind of rusty because I don’t really practice as much as I should but oh well 🫠 Sometimes I use english at work, but it’s not something that is really required at my job, it’s just a convenience I guess. So I just try to make good use of it in other areas of my life as much as I can. I know sometimes is harder because it didn’t come naturally to me as it did for some other people.. I see younger people online now, and everything is so globalized! It’s so much easier to practice and learn it. So my advice to you, anon, is simply: practice practice practice! Especially if you still feel like you’re weak in vocabulary and you’re learning it as an adult.

How to Apply for a Canada Permanent Residence Visa

If you’re a Canadian citizen, you already know the value of permanent residence in this country. But if you’re from another country, your journey to becoming a Canadian resident can be quite daunting. With so many forms and applications to sift through, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

But don’t worry! In this article, I’ll take you through the entire process of apply for a Canada PR visa. I’ll explain everything from eligibility criteria to required paperwork to application fees. This guide will help make your transition into life in Canada as smooth and stress-free as possible!

Determine Your Eligibility for a Canada PR Visa

An important part of your permanent residence visa application is to make sure you meet the criteria for approval. Generally, you must prove that you can become economically established in Canada. This means demonstrating that:

You have sufficient English or French language proficiency to live and work in Canada

You have relevant experience and education as determined by Canadian standards

You pass a medical exam, background check, and security clearance

You possess an employment offer from a Canadian company or be self-employed in Canada

All applicants must go through the same processes, regardless of country of origin. It is important to make sure that all the required documents are submitted with your application so that it can be processed in a timely manner. Applicants may be asked for additional documentation as part of their application process.

Choose a Canada Immigration Program

Once you decide that you want to make Canada your permanent home, the first step is to choose the right immigration program. Canada has a number of immigration programs that offer different pathways to permanent residence. You need to research each one and find the one that best fits your goals and qualifications.

Here are some of the most popular programs:

Express Entry: The Express Entry system allows skilled workers from around the world to immigrate to Canada with their families in as little as six months. This system is points-based and applicants are selected based on their skills, education, work experience, language proficiency and other factors.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Each Canadian province and territory has its own PNP program. These allow provinces and territories to select skilled workers for immigration based on their own criteria.

Family Sponsorship: Canadian citizens or permanent residents can sponsor family members who would like to live in Canada permanently.

Take some time to research each program and determine which one is right for you. Once you have chosen a program and assessed your eligibility, you can start the application process!

Gather the Required Documents to Apply for PR Visa

You'll need to have all the documents ready in order to proceed with your application for a Canada permanent residence visa. To make sure you have everything ready, here's a checklist of the documents you'll need:

Proof of Funds

Proof of funds could come in the form of a bank statement or investment portfolio that shows enough money to support yourself and family while living in Canada. Generally, you should have enough money to cover living expenses and your family’s travel costs for 6 months after arriving in Canada.

Language Ability

You need to prove language ability — either English or French — by providing an IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test report or CAEL (Canadian Academic English Language) test report, issued within two years of your application.

Education Credential Assessment

The Education Credential Assessment (ECA) is necessary if you’re applying under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or Canadian Experience Class programs. The assessment compares your foreign educational credentials to those earned in Canada and must be issued by one of three organizations approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Police Certificate

If you’re 18 years old or over, you need a police certificate from any country where you’ve lived for more than six months since turning 18 years old. You may also be asked to provide police certificates from other countries where you've lived since turning 18 years old even if it was for less than six months. These certificates show that you don't have a criminal record and must be up-to-date — issued within six months before submitting an application — and if not available, IRCC may accept older certificates as long as

Submit Your Application for Canada PR Visa

Getting ready to apply for your Canada PR Visa? You're in the right place! Applying for a Canada Permanent Residence Visa can seem like a daunting process, but it doesn't have to be.

Here's what you'll need to do to submit your application:

Complete the application form. This will include all of your personal information, as well as information about your family members and any other dependents who will be traveling with you.

Collect all required documents. This includes proof of identity and other documents verifying the information on your application form, such as proof of employment, education, and any other supporting papers that may be requested by the Canadian government (such as a police clearance certificate).

Send in your application package along with all supporting documents and the applicable fees. Fees can vary depending on the type of application you’re submitting and how many family members are traveling with you, so make sure you have enough funds ready to cover the cost of apply for a Canada PR visa.

Wait for an answer from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). You should receive an answer within six months after submitting your application - though sometimes it may take longer if CIC needs additional information or if there is any other issue that needs to be resolved before they can grant you permanent residence status in Canada.

Following these steps will ensure that you get approved for a Canada PR visa in less time!

Prepare for the Medical Examination

The next step of applying for a Canada Permanent Residence Visa is to get ready for the medical examination. This is an important part of the application process and must be taken seriously. 

Attend an Interview and Get the PR Visa Decision

The next step in the Canadian PR Visa application process is to attend an interview with a Canadian visa officer. At the interview, you'll need to provide evidence that you are eligible for a permanent residence visa and answer any questions the visa officer may have about your application.

At the end of the interview, the visa officer will make a decision on your PR Visa application. Your decision could be one of three outcomes:

Approved – if approved, you will get a letter in the mail that outlines when and how you should arrive in Canada as a Permanent Resident.

Refused – if refused, you will receive a letter in the mail that outlines why your application was denied and what steps you can take if you wish to appeal your decision.

Put on hold – if put on hold, it means that the visa officer needs more time to review your application before they make their final decision. In this case, they may request additional documents or further clarification before making their final decision.

No matter what outcome is reached at the end of your interview, it's important to remember that applying for a Canada Permanent Residence Visa can be a long process but with proper preparation and understanding of requirements it can be done successfully!

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Canadian permanent residence visa application process is complex, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. With the right guidance and resources, you can maximize your chances of success and make your Canadian visa journey easier.

By taking the time to research, consult experts, and prepare all the necessary documents, you can put yourself in the best position to obtain your Canadian PR visa. Though the process may be lengthy, the outcome could be life-changing and worth the effort.

That post that 50% of US population can't read is shocking. I am studying english as a second language an IELTS test includes such tasks as reading for gist, reading for main ideas, reading for detail, skimming, understanding logical argument and recognising writers' opinions, attitudes and purpose. Isn't it a part of native reading education?

Original post referred to (read the reblogs)

When I was first learning to read (3-5 yrs old) in school, there were no courses or lessons at my private Catholic school that was named so specifically as the ones you listed just now, but they were pretty much included in "reading comprehension". So yes, they are here in the U.S., the problem is that the importance and focus placed on this all might have changed since I went to kindergarten. Catholic/private/religious schools don't reallycount, because the curriculum isn't decided by official school administrators by the state but a private board for the community.

Another thing is that my dad sometimes taught me with books he bought, and I also read independently because I was a bookworm who didn't go anywhere. So that also put me ahead of other people--I noticed--as I grew up. I can't be used as a measure of the average or indicator of it unless you ask my parents how I learned to read.

So the steady decline in teaching "reading comprehension" to children in America, I suppose, has been happening for at least 30-40 years? This is a number I personally guess, considering how old I am (26).

New Leaf on Tumblr - This Tumblr is now officially an actual blog V:

Day 1

Start writing a blog – it can be about anything: your hobbies, life goals or favourite films or music.

I am starting a new life here on Tumblr. To be honest, I have one other blog -- which actually a more legit blog than this, lol -- but I do not really care with that one. This blog is funnier and there's more freedom.

So! Hello (again?). I now am officially a job seeker and also a scholarship hunter (for master degree).

Wait. My timer's up. I need to pause this for 10 minutes.

I found a seven days IELTS writing challenge from British Council (here's the link: https://www.britishcouncil.org.tr/en/blog/nine-tips-to-improve-your-ielts-writing-score), and I think I need to do this challenge as a start. I have done a free IELTS mock up test by E2 before (here's the link: https://youtu.be/NXJa7GFjY3U), yet other than that mock up test, I've never actually practice IELTS, let alone the writing.

By the way, i just learnt a new... preposition. It is "let alone". It's said that "let alone" used to indicate that something is far less likely, possible, or suitable than something else already mentioned. For example: He was incapable of leading a bowling team, let alone a country.

I also just learnt that "preposition" means a word or group of words, such as in, from, to, out of and on behalf of, used before a noun or pronoun to show place, position, time and method. Honestly, I understand what is preposition, but never actually know the name. Hehe. Typical me. This time, I will be honest with my incapability.

Let me wrap this post with my IELTS listening and reading scores (mock up test). Listening: 6. Reading: 7. I've done both of them in an extremely noisy house (I remember it was when my sister and mum got into a fight), thus giving me a lot more confidence for both parts (because i know the test place will not be that noisy). I am also confident with the speaking part, yet only for the first and third part (Jay from E2 said the second part is kind of weird, and I have to admit, yes).

I will write something again tomorrow, and that is going to be writing from the National Library~! As I wrote before, I would like to use this blog to share anything Broadcasting, thus I think will be the next topic I write here ^^

Corrections:

Red: Incorrect; Green: The correction; Yellow: Should add this

Education Loan Eligibility Criteria for Studying Abroad

In this article, we'll cover the education loan eligibility criteria for studying abroad, key requirements for applicants, and tips to maximize your chances of approval.

Key Eligibility Criteria for Education Loans to Study Abroad

Education loan providers—whether they are banks, private lenders, or financial institutions—typically evaluate several criteria before approving a loan. Here are some of the most common eligibility requirements:

1. Nationality and Residency

Most education loan providers require applicants to be Indian citizens. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) may also be eligible, though they may face additional requirements. Loan applicants generally must also demonstrate proof of residence in India.

2. Academic Background and Admission Confirmation

A strong academic background can positively impact an applicant's eligibility. Lenders often prefer applicants who have consistently performed well in their previous studies, as it indicates the likelihood of successful completion of the chosen program. Admission confirmation to a recognized foreign institution is also a core requirement.

To qualify, you’ll need:

Admission to a reputable university or institution abroad.

Proof of enrollment in a recognized program (undergraduate, postgraduate, or doctoral).

Official offer letter from the institution, detailing your course and duration.

Some banks may also require you to submit standardized test scores (GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, IELTS) as proof of your preparedness for international education.

3. Loan Repayment Capacity and Co-applicant Requirement

Since most students are financially dependent, banks and financial institutions typically require a co-applicant or guarantor for education loans for studying abroad. This individual, usually a parent or close relative, guarantees the loan repayment if the student defaults.

Co-applicant Eligibility:

The co-applicant must have a stable source of income, often demonstrated through income tax returns or salary slips.

A strong credit history is essential, as lenders assess the credit score of the co-applicant to evaluate the likelihood of timely repayment.

4. Course and Institution Eligibility

The type of course and institution selected for study abroad can impact loan eligibility. Lenders often maintain a list of recognized institutions that they consider eligible for education loans. Most programs covered by education loans for studying abroad include:

Undergraduate and postgraduate programs in STEM, humanities, business, and social sciences.

Professional courses such as MBA, engineering, law, and medicine.

Doctoral programs and research courses.

Note that short-term courses or language certifications may not always be eligible for education loans.

5. Age Limit

Many banks and financial institutions impose age limits for education loan applicants. For instance, applicants for undergraduate loans are typically expected to be between 18 and 35 years old. Age criteria can vary depending on the lender and type of program (e.g., undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral).

6. Loan Amount and Collateral Requirement

Education loans for studying abroad are often substantial due to the high costs of tuition and living expenses in foreign countries. Generally, loans below a certain threshold (e.g., INR 4 lakhs) do not require collateral. For higher amounts, especially loans exceeding INR 7.5 lakhs, lenders may require tangible collateral, such as:

Fixed deposits

Property deeds (immovable property like land or a house)

Insurance policies

This collateral serves as security for the lender in case of non-repayment.

7. Minimum Required Documentation

When applying for an education loan to study abroad, prepare the following documentation:

Admission letter from a recognized institution abroad

Identity and address proof (Aadhar card, passport, voter ID)

Proof of academic records (certificates and transcripts)

Income proof of the co-applicant

Recent passport-sized photographs

Standardized test scores (if applicable)

Collateral documents, if applying for a secured loan

Tips for Meeting Education Loan Eligibility Criteria for Studying Abroad

Maintain a Good Credit History: Ensure the co-applicant has a healthy credit score, as this plays a key role in determining loan eligibility.

Apply to Recognized Institutions: Choose institutions that are well-regarded and recognized by education loan providers, as this can simplify the approval process.

Research Lender-Specific Requirements: Different lenders have unique requirements, so compare banks and financial institutions to find the one that best aligns with your eligibility.

Prepare All Documents in Advance: Missing documents can delay your application or result in rejection. Ensure you have all required documents in order before applying.

Start the Application Process Early: Banks may take time to process and approve an education loan, so apply early to avoid last-minute delays.

Final Thoughts

Securing an education loan for studying abroad is an invaluable way for students to bridge the financial gap in pursuing a global education. By thoroughly understanding the eligibility criteria, students can boost their chances of loan approval and stay focused on their academic and career goals. Lorien is a revolutionary marketplace dedicated to helping students secure the best student loans for their study abroad dreams, providing tailored solutions and guidance every step of the way.

It’s been 2 years since it was last updated, yet I’m here again!

Tumblr always was a safe space for me and I guess it will remain the same, even with the passage of time. Something about the idea that people you know and care about are unlikely to find your page and read your posts seems borderline appealing to me. Okay, let’s make a little update on my life, rewind and think bout how we got here.

First of all, I’m 20 now. On January 2022, here I posted a story of how I tried to get my shit together and pass IELTS exam without adequate prep, well I ended up scoring 7.0 even tho I could do at least 7.5 but 10 days of prep prolly weren’t enough and that’s totally ok, I was still so excited and grateful and then the uni application season began! I applied to several schools, Anglo-American uni in Prague, KIMEP in Almaty, some public uni in village-like town in Poland the name of which I don’t even recall, even freaking community colleges in the States, then I return to my hometown and my mum proposes an offer to go to Istanbul to see some unis there. I was like, why not, cause at the time I was fully confused and not ready to deal with emotional separation and the idea to go and live overseas and to catch a cold there felt diabolical and scared the shut out of me. Istanbul seemed like the smartest option with convenient flights that last 2-3h and pretty normal prices (almost the same as most European ones as I found out later). So, we get there 2-3 days later, land there, check in, fall asleep to the sound of chaos and wake up to go shopping. The day after we go to Medipol university, our first location, to see what even unis are in Ist. We took the bus, the ride was kinda exhausting cause your girl was using bus for like 3rd time in her life but it was so worth it. Me, my dad and mum enter the uni, it was an open house day, strangely enough. Then I see that uni and I’m like: “Seems like it was designed in a sophisticating manner and even has Starbucks on the entrance floor, I’m in.” That’s it. Starbucks was a normal coffee shop for me at the time, the whole Palestinian thing hasn’t started yet and times were more or less peaceful.

A week later we come back to Atyrau, Kz and I start preparing all the documents required for application. Then I get in. Then we buy tickets and the remaining month before leaving for studying I spend in my hometown, mostly by taking care of myself, working on my hobbies and hanging out with my local friends. It was August, or September, now I don’t know, when me and my friend were supposed to meet in a cafe near my place and I was a bit late so I walked there and when I entered the cafe I saw someone sitting across from my friend. We greeted each other with my friend and he introduced me to this guy who was acting really nonchalant and chill, even apathetic in some way. Then, I don’t know how but we became really good friends. I guess it was that my original friend texted me after they drove me home and said that this guy asked for my number. I was like yeah, why not. After that, we started hanging out more and there were periods when I was ghosting him and we stopped talking for many months, but even now we talk. That’s also a lesson, people you meet, you meet them randomly, maybe the moment you were in a rush getting ready to have a chat and an iced latte is the moment this guy bumped into your friend and decided to go to the cafe with him and this exact moment was just meant to be without you guys realising. I do believe in fate, I do believe in chance, so I guess it was just it. And I adore this mf!

Also, when I was 18, I first started dating a guy. No, not the one I met in a cafe. I will not dive into details cause it’s kinda pointless but basically it was a positive experience. I would even rate it, as if I used ordinal data, very good. Why not excellent? Cause we weren’t meant to be, that’s the missing point. This guy is kinda older tho, wanted to marry, when I say marry I mean quickly, he wanted me to be this traditional woman which I kinda am but without being too into it lmao. Like, ok man, I do adore traditional values and want men to be gentlemen and open doors for women and go to war and build architectural wonders and women be nurturing mothers and drive their children to the kindergarten, educate them and be a soft and loving wife but BRO I was 18 at the time. Why will you even tell me that. 2 years do make a difference and that’s the best thing. I want a career, I mean, I’m working on it. But I do believe that being a mother is beautiful and it’s like a natural function that you do experience if you consent and it’s fucking beautiful. And ofc, it ruins your health to some extent, depending on many factors, so you need to rest and not work your 9 to 5 in the office or with some toxic bitches. So yeah, I guess after all years of reevaluating my beliefs I came to the conclusion, I’m a traditional woman, for Fuck’s Sake.

Also, my fingers are tired of typing so I guess it’s time to wrap up. Let’s call it a day for today. I’m really happy that I started using this page again cause honestly, I love to talk about my life just like everyone does. So, if someone is even reading it, wishing you peaceful time full of positive energy and success. Be good to yourself and to others, bye!
