Pass the IELTS for a score of 7 - 7.5.
Hello everyone! I want to study in another country in Europe and I have found several opportunities to achieve this goal:
- I can spend a semester for the program Erasmus.
- I can study in russian master's for the programe with double degree.
- I can study all my master's degree abroad.
But I have an important restrictiction: I haven't any money for that and my monthly income is about 150 euro. So, I need a good scholarship that can cover all my expenses. And all schoolarships have the requirment: I need to pass IELTS or TOEFFL for the apropriate score.
I evaluate my score on IELTS right now as 5.0 - 5.5. I am good at listening, normal at reading and speaking and terrible at writing. But I will improve this. And here's my plan.
Goal Accomplishment Criteria
The test was passed on the desired mark.
-
Improve each section individually
Every day when I don't do a full test, I improve one of the following sections:
- Grammar
- Listening
- reading
- Letter
- Speaker
This means that I will go through the exact part of the test, analyze errors, and read a few guides to help me get a better score. In the first few weeks, I will analyze the entire section structure or requirements for it.
-
Make writing a part of my life
Every day I will write something in English: probably only my thoughts and feelings, perhaps plans or something else.
-
Make reading a part of my life
Every day I will read a BBC news article and several pages of a book in English (right now I am reading Interview Secrets: Former McKinsey Interviewer Reveals How To Get Multiple Consulting Jobs)
-
Make speaking a part of my life
Now nothing special comes to my mind: I’ll probably try to talk to myself on different topics. I will think about this in the process.
-
Make listening a part of my life
I will listen to TED or other podcasts in English for 10 minutes or more, 3 times a week.
-
Improve my vocabularly
I will try to find applications or sites that will help me learn new words in a convenient way.
-
Deal with the time
I will take 1 full test per week exactly in time (2 hours 45 minutes) with detailed error analysis (45 minutes).
