no IELTS for now

As you see my IELTS prep project has stopped. University practice + reading + general relax mood
But I plan to pass it anyway in 2013

Cap Crieff speaking

Today I got to listen to the sixth episode of Cabin pressure (6 season). Btw it is still availible for 5 days http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qjc6k

Martin’s interview for Swiss airlines totally made my day:

Martin: I’m like a duck.

Captain: Deroche: you are like a duck?

Martin: yeah y’know, I’m paddling like hell on top, but I’m very calm underneath-

oh no oh no! I- I mean uh I’m like a CAPSIZED DUCK

IELTS prep day 1

So I've started with my English around sixtish today and anded almost at eleven. That's 5 hours minus dinner, snacks and chatting with parents. That will be approximately 4 hours of studying. It was quite nice, but I'm always distracted to do things which are not related to the the stuff I'm reading or listening to.
So what I've done today is:

• occasional BBC1 listening when I was at home
• read some articles (one about drones in Saudi Arabia, onther about blue cheese, something about tree hugging)
• watched some news vids on BBC
• listened to a new episode of Cabin Pressure
• took listening part from IELTS test (scored 36 out of 40, could have 39 but was a bit absent-minded like always, confusing French and English spelling)
• and added 40 new words to my notebook to learn (from all the previous activities)

That's probably it) I'll just revise words now and go to sleep

IELTS notes (1)

So I've heard few days ago that there is an IELTS test in my city in one month.Yesterday I had a bid discussion with myself on pros and cons of taking the test and I've decided to take it. As I'm preparing all by myself and I only have a month, that will be a tough work. But impossible is nothing, so let the preparation begin.
I think during preparation I will keep kind of journal in this blog, describing my everyday work. Hopefully, this will keep me more disciplined.
