In the EAP Class

During the classes many things happened as we got closer. 

To face IELTS we were demanded to be master in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. For me, those were very hard. So, practice a lot is the best solution, including practice English out of the class. But, forget it! Karaoke, movies, futsal, for example, were common activities on weekends or after class. Therefore, we should be aware of flyers or advertisements around us to find out the entertaining (free) events. 

Every week, we had module explaining the material and its teacher. We went to listening room for listening session with Mr. Bambang. Usually, to discuss the answers we were divided into group consist of 4 or 5 people. As we used a head-set, it was a tool to talk each other in the group. We couldn't hear what other groups said, except him only, therefore it was possible to him revealing whatever you said.

Reading and writing session were stressful and tough. Here, you need to improve your vocabularies. For instance, how to choose False/No, True/Yes, and Not Given statement. Once you have at least 6 for them, you'll feel quite happy.

For speaking class we had three natives, two from US and one from England (Sunderland). The English one had unique accent. We also had two local teachers. They all were fun, anyway. It's time to be confident for whatever topic.
