Ang on IELTS handwriting



more fast = more haste
majority of people
Most of the time at work place they need us to print the documents needed.
I guess  most of the people started to learn how to write from the very 1st time they enter school because writing is an essential skill for us to be educated.
writing exercises
some drills to learn how  to write
I've learned writing at school so my teacher taught me the basic knowledge on how to write and aside from that I did a lot of drills in writing in order to hone my skill.
In order for children learn how to write effectively they must try to integrate/incorporate writing in every activities they have and not just rely using devices.
Some people judge others personality based from their handwritings so we may think that people who have very excellent and presentable handwriting as a well organized  person on the other hand people with messy writing can judge as a disorganized or lazy person.

Ang on Engoo exercise

Hello Ms. Renata, happy Thursday to you. It was such a lovely day and I am so happy to teach you IELTS once again. You did great for today's simulation.I can always feel how persistent you are in trying so hard in giving good speaking performance. I want to encourage you not to use descriptive words. Don't use boring words like good, bad, nice, or okay. Use exciting words that convey emotion. Practice using higher level words for every simple word you know. Another thing that I want to point out is for you to avoid using slang words and please keep a steady pace. Don't speak too fast or too slow. I will never get tired reminding you all these things and I hope that you will truly remember all these things. Have a great day and enjoy learning.

1 disparity- a great difference  

2 exhilarating- making one feel very happy or thrilling

There is disparity between extreme and ordinary sports.
Extreme sports are prone to accidents and also it is an exhilarating sport. Only people who have the courage to engage in this sport can play it specially professionals.
On the other hand everybody have the chance to engage in ordinary sports because it is not risky and you can enjoy playing it even if you're not a professional athlete.

what do you think of

#3:
I think it depends on the financial status of the person if the person can afford paying for an expensive sport then that will be fine and justifiable. As long as the person enjoyed it and is able to benefit from it.
But for ordinary people who don't have enough budget to engage in expensive sport I guess that will be impractical and a total waste of money. They may joy it but I guess there are other priorities than spending money on expensive sports.

Ang on Engoo Acomodation

Hello Ms. Renata, thanks for making our class very productive today. We've studied IELTS again and it's such a great time to teach you few vocabulary words and expressions that you might use during the actual exam. Always remember that this is a test and you have to show the examiner how good your English is. If you give very short answers, there is no way the examiner can know how good you are.People make mistakes when they speak all the time, especially when they are nervous in an exam. The examiner understands this and it is fine to correct any mistakes you make. Some students don’t like to do this because they think it is making it clear to the examiner that you made a mistake. Don’t worry, the examiner always knows when you have made a mistake and correcting them shows the examiner that you really do know your grammar.I know we practised a lot of questions but NEVER LEARN SCRIPTED ANSWERS. The purpose of practising questions is for you to hone your confidence in answering a certain topic just in case it will come out during the actual exam. it is such a big mistake to memorise answers. Just do your best and be more confident in using English.


Do you think all people who receives gifts become happy?
Yes I think everyone who receive a present becomes happy because they will feel being loved and cared by others. For me,  present is an epitome of happiness so I think everybody who receive a present will feel appease. 

epitome- a person or thing that is a perfect example of a particular quality or type

appease = satisfy
appease- satisfy
Verb (appeased)
I am not appeased with your lesson teacher Ang!
adjective ( appeasing)

No, there are people who are very hard to please so they are not easily appeased with anything.
