As a student who has almost
done with the Modern English Course, I’d like to let you in on some secrets of
effective training. Hope they’ll help you to make a good progress in mastering
English and to gain excellent marks.
To start with, try to organize
your dictionary in a productive way which would contribute greatly to your better understanding of the word families and more
efficient memorizing them.
Of course, you’ll be required to cover a lot of ground, not only hitting set
texts, but also jotting down nice collocations related to the topic. Pay
attention, it’s not necessary to cram all active vocabulary – just try to single
out the most difficult collocations and go through them with your group mates,
making as many sentences as possible. In this way, you will definitely avoid
having utter chaos in
your head and encountering some difficulties with unfamiliar words.
The more you brush up on them, the better.
Secondly, you have to take
your blog assignments seriously, as this is the best way of learning through
practice. The main thing is, don’t put them off until the last night. It’s not
as hard as it sounds – just undergo your laziness and get down to writing. When
you get inspired later on, it’ll be no problem to brush up on the first draft. Meeting deadlines is quite stressful, so the most sensible decision would
be to write your blog assignments
in advance.
Talking about myself, it’s my
firm conviction that thanks to this course I’ve got an excellent grasp of how
to use loads of new collocations, idioms and phrasal verbs in a proper way.
Frankly speaking, it wasn’t all as easy as ABC – I put a real effort to
memorize all the stuff and sometimes had to burn the midnight oil, especially
during the session weeks (a student’s real character, lol), but now I enjoy the
fruits of my hard work, which is really thrilling. It goes without saying, I
must give a credit to my teacher Tetiana Oleksandrivna for having taught me not
to back down too fast
(to tell you the truth, it was the underlying enemy number one in my studies).
Leaping to conclusions, I hope
my pieces of advice will come in useful for you and by the end of the Modern
English Vocabulary course you’ll have got a genuine elation from it. Just keep calm and study hard!:)
