Elizabeth´s Interview

As students, we really want to reach the maximum level of the 4 famous skills, but during our trip in our major we have realized that they are kind of difficult not only one by one, but also all together...as in every single field of our lives, some students are good at ones some are good with others...

Elizabeth shared with me that her pain in the neck always was the Reading skill, why? because it was really hard for her the fact of getting acustom to read even if she didn´t want to or if the reading wasn´t interesting enough for her to start doing it...but, as we know...reading is a MUST in our major and even though she didn´t want to...she had to.

What she did in order to improve her skill was : first, she looked for interesting readings like magazines, short stories, news or even some books atractive to her.  With this technique, she reached her goal, because she practiced a lot her reading without pressure, and at the same time she increased her new vocabulary while practicing. 

One of her favorite practices was when the teacher used to gave her funny readings, and after a while they took them away asking for what the students remember about the story they previously read. Some of them, as Ely said, were interesting others maybe not so much, but at the end the reading was practiced even without notice it.

Until this moment, she has the same problems with the reading skill, because it is really difficult for her to find an attractive lecture to be eaten...but at the end Ely is such a good student that I know she will handle the famous skills when necessary...

Keep walking Elizabeth!!!!

  1. Does it mean that I could not care less?
    I remember falling asleep in more than one class!
    why? because it was B-O-R-I-N-G !
    It is so nice when a teacher give his/her best effort to make the class entertainment, and I dont mean it has be one game after the other, but just different from all the other lectures we receive in other classes. The teacher has to be outstanding for the class to be oustanding aswell!

  2. what I believe is that if you put something in your mind, you can accomplish it.....

    Not everything will be appealing for you, but if you have to do it you have to see the good side of things!!!!
