Self-Study w/ Z.Y.👩🏻‍🏫✨

🥁🥁🥁 Думаю провести интенсив на Наурыз, в эту сб-вс утром☀️ Будет камерный, закрытый формат🔒 Количество мест: 3-10 человек, хочу поближе познакомиться с вами, ответить на вопросы, где надо направить Этот интенсив спокойно заменит все видео ютуб, книги или даже репетиторов по ридингу, потому что будет вся база: как готовиться, где, примеры, и тд. Единственное, что останется - это делать практисы и работу над ошибками Участие: 10к тенге; места: first come first served basis, отправляйте «+» в комменты или @jyzstar

Прямой репортаж с 📍Шанхай as a reminder of why we wanna be going abroad, exploring the World and just enjoying ourselves, including our English and brains🧠

если у вас средняя оценка по пробникам 5.5-6.0, не слушайте тех, кто говорят, что невозможно достичь 7.0+ за Х время (месяц-два-к лету-за год, etc.) и даже не спрашивайте. в такие моменты начинаются сомнения и self-questioning, а это отвлекает. Нет ничего невозможного, и так же всё возможно. Если вы хотите подготовиться на 7.5 за месяц, и вы чувствуете, что можете, делайте. Не ждите пока какой-то учитель Английского не скажет, что вы готовы. Don’t wait for the external approval. Некоторым выгодно, когда вы сомневаетесь в себе, потому что тогда вы начнете покупать страховку и передачу ответственности. Focus on. Self-belief on. Imagine yourself the main character of some game or a movie: No worries. No emotions. Only you, your determination, and the goal in front of you. Long story short: if you feel like you’ll make it in X amounts of time, go for it🔥 and if you’re waiting for someone’s approval, you got mine🫶

One of the most accurate outline structures for argumentative essays I’ve seen🙏🏻🙄

пришла идея провести 2-дневный интенсив по IELTS Reading, сижу, структурирую🫶🏻 День 1: Работа с Текстом. Как понимать, читать и передвигаться по тексту. Теория + Разбор Примеров + Практика День 2: Разбор ВСЕХ типов вопросов + стратегии подхода к каждому из видов Идеально как для тех, кто уже начал подготовку, так и для тех, кто ещё даже не знает с чем столкнется🌱

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT IELTS PREP STRATEGY: If you have strong English but don’t know the IELTS format → focus on exam structure, question types, and timing. If you know the IELTS format but your English is weak → stop focusing on the exam and build your language first. If you have both strong English and understand the format → practice under timed conditions and analyze mistakes. If your English is not strong but you also have not much time → combine exam preparation with intensive language exposure. _____ Need help choosing the right IELTS strategy?

If you’re stressing about IELTS, this message is for you🤍 I know IELTS can feel like something huge. I’ve been there. I was told IELTS was everything and the only thing I needed. In reality, IELTS turned out to be a tool that helps us move forward — to study abroad, apply for scholarships, work internationally🌎 Don’t make IELTS bigger than it actually is. Don’t turn it into something scary, dramatic, or life-defining, because IELTS is a language exam - nothing more and nothing less. Getting a good score is great. But don’t put so much pressure on yourself that the exam starts feeling like the center of your life. You don’t need to spend months or years worrying about it. Instead, approach IELTS calmly and strategically: - Build your English📚 - Understand the format📋 - Learn how the exam works🌐 IELTS like a step on the road, not the whole journey 🚶‍♀️✨ You’ll handle it, I believe in you🫂

Once I was admitted, I was invited to virtual webinars~ Because of the time difference, had to participate in those at nights but it’s worth it: makes me feel part of the community already

Back in 2020-2021 я псевдо-сохла по одному университету в Америке - Vanderbilt University. Почему псевдо? Да потому что я знал, что I was not qualified enough, yet I somehow had that courage to dream about it. It was the only Top Uni I applied to, moreover, as an ED. I remember I opened the admissions decision with such an excitement, будто моя жизнь зависела от этого. And guess what? I successfully did not get there. It seems life does give second chances for it’s different this time. So if you feel stressed or sad or discouraged about your application and life, just know that this physical world takes time and your inner preparedness to manifest things. The question is not whether you get it or not but When🕰️

Зачем вообще сдавать IELTS?

Я зарегестрировалась на HSK (Chinese IELTS), and that means I have to start preparing for another standartized test but this time with a very limited knowledge of the language. It will again be a self-study, so we will see how it goes. The planning approach will be similar to that of an IELTS: 1. I’ll watch a few videos and read the guidebooks from the official accounts on the format and the requirements of the exam, aka getting to know the format cause i have no idea what and how HSK tests🙄 2. I’ll assess where I am, how much time I have, what resources are currently available to me and what resources I will need to get in the future. 3. I’ll create a plan, more or less flexible, that would give me enough time and space both to study and to do other stuff. And then my journey to conquering Chinese begins🧘‍♀️

Hi, guys, Happy New Year! Finally sharing one of the guides I promised on ELTS Reading💕 Wish you all high scores and joyful preps✨ For the past few weeks I’ve been traveling around China and am only now going back to work. Hope this guide brings you insights and support~

Why do all that preliminary prep? Cause you wanna help your brain stay focused and nervous system stay calm during the exam. Do spend time on building the right foundation cause that’s where compound interest works. It is natural to spend time brainstorming and organizing your essay in Writing, why not spend some time understanding Reading too?

HOW TO START IELTS READING: MY APPROACH —— Step 1: Go to the title and READ the title. While reading it: Predict the tone and theme of the discussion. Is it a biological research or a machine usage instruction? What should you expect from the language of the expected text? Step 2: Scan through text and see if there are numbers, names, quotes. Check the passages, how many? DON’T READ THE TEXT YET. In steps 1-2 you familiarize yourself with the passage. Preliminary preparation as they call. Step 3: Go to the questions and identify types of questions, beware of keywords. Step 4: Choose your reading strategy according to the questions and start doing the test. —— Briefly: Start your IELTS Reading by FAMILIARIZING your brain with the passage and catching the right mood/focus.
