First and New




Well, the New Year had come and the vacation is over.To be honest, I didn't feel pessimistic after the vacation and wanted them to continue; by the way, when I studied at the school, we had much shorter winter vacation. Now, it's time to learn English again, and I expected, that EAP 3 will be totally different, than EAP 2 and will be REALLY 0_O hard!=)


Actually, it is hard, but there are many similatities with Fall semester. Many things, we have to do, like lectures or speaking journals are pretty simiar. We do have new kinds of assignments, like term papers or book projects, but they remind to reaing projects of EAP 2. And of course, course grades are stricter, but I think, it is good for stimulating hard work.




Our teachers told us about one intresting and I've been thinking about that. And what's the real scoop is that now we are not only learning mechanics and grammar of English, but mostly we are leazrning how to apply and use English in our University experience. We are practising a lot, we are surrounded by English, we are watching movies, TV shows(I don't like to watch TV shows often, but whatever=D) . We are applying our English almost everywhere in opur casual life, and that is one of the factors, that our second language experince is increasing. Our EAP courses with lovely and funny teachers Scott and Murray are just awesome. And we are using things, that we are learning to speak, write, entertain and so on in English atmosphere.
I think, that's the best way to learn new language.


What's going on-the classes.
Music-No music now.
