Josh - FCE/CAE preparation

Yesterday, Michelle asked me how to prepare for the FCE and CAE classes. I asked the Cambridge teachers and they told me about this website. It is useful not just for Cambridge preparation, but also if you are bored and/or want to practice your English online.

what to do in your freetime in perth

Do you feel bored? Do you want to fill in your freetime? No problem. In this article you will find some ideas to perke up your freetime.
First of all you need money. To earn some you can search a part time job, for instance as a waiter, kichen hand, bar-tender and many more. In fact, as a student you don't have a lot of time to do a job but in some restaurant you can choose a suitable time for yourself  if you find a job in Perth. And the salery , for a student , that you earn is quite high, for example student who's under age can earn about 9 or 10 dollers per hour and for who's over 18 denfinitely can earn more than that , so I think doing a part time job also is a good way to spend your boring free time in Perth. Besides that, as a student we only can work for 20 hours in one week , so that you still have had some leisure time to do other things.

When you have money, you can enjoy your nightlife after you study or your job. You can go to KTV if any of your friends have a birthday party. You may stay there for whole night with your friends. You may drinking or singing until everyone get drunk. Some of them may decide to go to night club to dance or drink. It is a good place to relax when you feel pressure from your study or job. You can dance with someone you may don't know them and also you can make new friends in there. For some of them who don't like the place are very noise, they may stay at home or go to their friend's house to play computer games or play cards together and it is more cheap than you go to  Ktv or nightclub.

Apart from earning money and drinking u want to focus on your social life. Perth is an cosomopolitan city and a lot fo nationalities are living peaceful together. Now wonder there are a lot of diffrent social groups.
Do you want to learn spanish, for example? No problem, every monday some people meet in the "Happy Elephant" in Northbridge to improve there spanish skills.
Or are you fed up in doing exercises every day alone? Well than you should join the "fit in Perth" group. Every morning the meet in Kingspark.It's for free and fun is guaranteed.
Now for all the wimen outside. Do you Want to meet some conspecifics and have a great time? Well then just pump in to the "American Women's Club of Perth", a non-profit organisation focused on friendship.
Now are you pondering to join one of them? Just go to www.bcl.au/perth/intgroup.htm.

All in all we hope you won't be bored anymore.

Huyen - Not being in a good mood and when the class gets boring.

Not being in a good mood, and when the class gets boring makes you stop learning English because you aren't interested in it.

I don't know what your opinion is about that, but for me when I have a bad mood, I'm often angry easily, and I don't want to study at all, for I just want to forget anything in my mind.

The boring class means there is nothing interesting in class or the teaching process isn't vivid.

For example:Teachers always give you a stupid topic, and you fell uncomfortable with your classmate. When teachers give you a topic to discuss with your classmates about culture between your country and their countries, but when you start discussing they only talk to their friends who they like while you're sitting there in the same table, yet they pretend you're transparent. It makes you feel embarrassing, and you don't enjoy the class any more.

The best way you can be in class is you should tell teachers your idea what you like learning about, or you can change to another class. It will be better.

Roberto - Continuously learning

I think that the main problem with English learning is forget it,  things that you've been learning, as any kind of knowledge, we need to continuously learn it, In my opinion, if you stop to learn your brain will forget most things. To keep your  English in your mind, you have got to watch good films, in my case, when I watch   series that instead of using lots of slang, use clear and simple language like Friends, 24hr, Lost, all of this using english subtitles     is the best way to improve the reading and listening. Another good way that I'm pretty sure that improve mainly the speaking and the accent, is listening good English music, I could learn lots of words with The Beatles, Rolling Stones and other bands. Try it, it could be very usefull my friends!

Gabriel - Watching Movies helps you learn English

Watching movies or television programs is a good way to improve your English. If you spend your time at home, you should try watching movies or TV programs, and they have to be in English. If you think that it's difficult to understand, you can put subtitles and try to compare them or just move on. Also, try to get the main words in the sentence and realise the meaning. Don't stop to watch it, yet you don't understand anything. I'll write about some techniques that you can use. First of all, you have to like it. It doesn't work if you try to watch boring things or things that you don't like. Try to watch movies or TV programs with easier speaking or formal speaking, so you'll understand more. At the beginning, try to watch news, documentaries and others. When you start to watch movies and you don't understand, come back and listen one more time, but don't do that often. Watching movies is definitely one of the best ways to improve or still practice your English, because you can train your listening, vocabulary, accent, speaking and also have some fun!
