Reflection

What a week! So much to learn, so much to do, but also so much fun, had my eyes opened, in my country, there's no such thing as tutorial in college, always teachers talking all the time.

Tutorial really makes people think, question other's opinion. Chinese student used to cram up everything they learned, so if you ask them for opinion, they can't deliver, because they been trained not think, but to Memorize. I believe after E7 everyone will have a big change. 
At the beginning of E7, I heard the pass rate is quite low, only 4 passed out of 15!
That really freaks me out. But I cannot stop; I must do my upmost to get in to Master,
Then there’s practice, endless practice, and every period last for 2 hours which is quite long compare with my country, usually 50 minutes a period, but I will get used to it eventually.
Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking, among all four, I worry about writing the most,
That’s my weakness, in my previous IELTS, I got 5.0 at first, 5.5 at second, perhaps it’s my grammar , or my poor sentence structure makes my points confusing, that’s what I need to work on, other than that, I might also need to improve my speaking skills,
I have done many presentations in college, but I always get nervous and talk very fast, even with very few audiences, I can still talk like tornado. However, in E7, with experienced and knowledgeable teacher’s assistance, I can do it fine.
The worst part is when you go home; you got all kinds of temptations around you,
You must build up a very strong attitude toward your learning; otherwise, you can get distracted very easily.
