&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;Account of the recent language learning experience and insights gained through the course both inside and outside of class&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&amp;nbsp;I have learnt some useful skills in the course in these months.(incomplete sentence)&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;The most impressing (missing three letters) lesson &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;teach&lt;/FONT&gt; me &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;how &lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;to write a composition in &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;an (article) appropriate&lt;/FONT&gt; (sp.) style. I do know it is important to choose the appropriate&amp;nbsp;style and&amp;nbsp;tone when writing. I also understand that language style can be classified as formal, &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;n&lt;/FONT&gt;eutral and &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;i&lt;/FONT&gt;nformal before. However, I do not know how I can write in an appropriate style correctly. The skills are not taught when I am in secondary school. After the lesson, I understand choice of vocabulary, sentence structure and grammar, use of transitional words and phrases, use of punctuation and use of abbreaviations and short forms affect the language style. I feel happy that I know how I can write in an appropriate style now. I believe that I can match the type of writing more correctly and therefore, my writing will _&lt;U&gt;not__ _be&lt;/U&gt;__&amp;nbsp; (Insert words here) awkward or unnatural.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Reading English newspapers also helps me to improve my English. I am not used to reading English newspaper before. But I am required to buy South China Morning Post&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;from&lt;/FONT&gt; the courses. From then on I try to make reading South China Morning Post to be my daily routine.&amp;nbsp;I find that it is an effective way to learn more vocabularies. It also helps me to&amp;nbsp;broaden my horizon&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;(Review your use of not only but also) &lt;/FONT&gt;Now&amp;nbsp; I read South China Morning Post form Yahoo. So I can read South China Morning Post &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;everyday&lt;/FONT&gt;. I deeply believe that South China Morning Post is worth reading. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;Personal changed feelings/opinions/attitude towards English language learning&lt;/B&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am convinced that English language learning are stressful and frustrating before. I feel nervous when everyone is focus on me and when teacher is listening carefully. I believe this feeling comes from my self- doubt. I think classmates are step ahead of me. I also cannot correctly pronounce some sounds and sets of sound. To be frank, I have thought that English is no more important because I am in Chinese Language and Literature Programme. I no need to improve my English anymore. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, my friends told me that mastery of the English language is &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;important&lt;/FONT&gt;. Hong Kong being a service - oriented economy, the advantage of having a competent English&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;-speaking&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; work force has become all the more improtant. I know that being a Chinese Language and Literature student is only an excuse to avoid learning English&lt;STRONG&gt; &lt;FONT color=#000080&gt;(You shouldn't think like that! Nothing wrong with being a Chinese major.)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;. This thought only badly &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;affects&lt;/FONT&gt; my interest and progress of learning English. I do know that if I&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;lose&lt;/FONT&gt; the interest of learning English, my English cannot improve anymore. I need to find some ways to prevent feeling so embarrassed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are ways for me to prevent feeling so &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;embarrassed&lt;/FONT&gt;. I think the most&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;practical&lt;/FONT&gt; way is to improve English. I should study English continuously. When I find some words that I cannot pronouce, I will check the electronic dictionary immediately. I will also try to speak English with my friends. I believe I can speak English fluently if I often do that. My friends can also kindly point out my grammatical mistakes. They will not laugh at my absurd mistakes. Therefore, I will not feel embarrassed anymore.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Yes, I agree that my summary is too long, Shall I eliminate it and instead write a cover letter?&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt; I would just make it shorter and in point form. Think of it as a chance to highlight your strengths.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Is this summary suitable to be a cover letter? &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;You could use parts of it, but focus on the purpose of a cover letter. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Say what job/kind of job you want&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Introduce yourself and your skills briefly, in terms of why people should choose you for this job.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Ask for an interview or whatever action you want the agency to take&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Do I need a cover letter for a recruiting agency after all?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;I don't know. I think it's probably a good idea.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;What about the rest of CV?&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt; I've added a few comments.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week voluntary work for&amp;nbsp; Red Crescent during the very first days of catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of medical schools.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Well, I have done them&amp;nbsp;both and I think ielts is easier than Tofel becaues of two reasons:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1- Tofel is on line while ielts is written form.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Simone Braverman&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The process of studying for IELTS can be overwhelming. It always is of great importance to oneâs future and the stakes are usually high. Among countless rules of IELTS it is easy to loose focus and begin drifting in the wrong direction, especially when you have nobody to guide you. This is the reason why people donât receive the score they really deserve. Here are the top 10 mistakes IELTS candidates make.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Give more answers than necessary &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I have already mentioned in one of the previous articles, instructions are there for a reason. If they say âgive one answerâ or âanswer in 3 wordsâ, this is exactly&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;what the examiners will be looking for, and if they find two answers or four words â points are lost forever. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Write answers in the booklet, not on the Answer Sheet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, writing answers on the booklet margins looks more natural then having to copy them to some special Answer Sheet. Well, surprise â the only answers IELTS examiners count are those copied to the Answer Sheet. Every answer written on booklet margins only scores zero.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lose track of time&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During Reading and Writing sections it is candidatesâ responsibility to manage their own time. No one will tell you to stop working on the current task and to move forward to the next one. So, in worst case scenario, you could spend all the time working on just one passage, when there are 3 more to go.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Waste a lot of time on one hard question&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All IELTS questions are of different difficulty. It is wrong to assume that every next question will be harder than the previous one. This is why getting stuck on one hard question is a bad idea. By moving forward to some easier questions you could win points, which otherwise would be lost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Read the whole passage first in Reading section&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those passages are not meant to be read. It is enough to scan through the text, noticing what the text is about and what the purpose of each paragraph is. After getting familiar with the passage, it is the time to read questions and look for answers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Assume they know the answer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is an old saying âAssumptions are the mother of all mess-upsâ. Many people walk right into this trap, by reading the question and assuming that they already know the answer from their experience or general knowledge. What a mistake! The answer is what is written in the passage and not what comes first to your mind. If, for example, the question is âDoes smoking cause cancerâ and your mind says âYesâ but the passage says âNoâ, then âNoâ is the correct answer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Copy the task in Writing section&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me list reasons why this would be a mistake. First, instructions forbid this. Second, you donât get any points for it. Third, it wastes precious time you could use writing something meaningful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Not checking the answers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is only human to make mistakes and there is nothing wrong in admitting it. This is a good enough reason to check and double-check your answers if there is time left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trying to impress the examiner&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What usually happens when a person starts trying to impress the examiner is usually the opposite. Be the best you can at your level, donât try to claim a higher level you are not at. Donât start trying to use super complex sentences or big smart words (without being sure what they mean).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Answering with âYesâ or âNoâ&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When examiner is asking you a question, it is not the answer he is after. His goal is to make you speak. As for you, every chance to speak is an opportunity to show how fluent your English is. Answering with âYesâ or âNoâ ruins every chance of good grade.&lt;/p&gt;
