What to do one day before IELTS exam?

It's scary when days are getting nearer... Most of us got panic attack. Especially me. I had worried for 4 days before IELTS exam. And when the day comes I was more scared than ever. I asked my mother to do some fortune telling using her special stones. She told me not to worry and you will get more than 6.5. And yes I got 7.

My advice is:

1. Prepare all your documents a night before your exam and put somewhere you will not forget.
2. Get up early because you need to be there 1.30 hour advance. Which implies sleep early.
3. Have a proper breakfast to increase your motivation.
4. Buy some dark chocolate in case you are developing panic and eat it before entering exam. Dark chocolate boosts your brain. :-D
5. Don't drink water or juice right before exam. Because your bladder get full and you want to go bathroom middle of the exam.
6. Check from http://ieltsnetwork.com recent IELTS questions. Sometimes, if you are lucky then you may find exam materials due to time difference. But remember, Asian and European IELTS exam questions are different.
7. Familiarize with the question and answers of IELTS. If you suppose to answer Yes, No, Not Given, then write exact words, not short version of it. And do not get confused with Yes No Not Given question with True False Not Given question.

And don't worry about what will happen. You will be alright.Hundreds of people are giving with you at the same time and they all feel same like you.


Wish you good luck for those who are giving on 10th January 2015.

LET ME KNOW, WHAT ELSE SHOULD I WATCH???

What to read? How to start reading? for beginner

I started reading novels in English from last year. One of my friend was starting to choose novels to read and i got little bit jealous thought that I can also read some. Then we went downstairs to our friend and asked what to read. She suggested to start from easy one.
The first book I read in English was

1. Alchemist, Paola Coelho - Inspiring novel
2. Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami
3. 1Q84, Haruki Murakami (Fiction, very long like 600 pages :-) Anyways i finished)
4. Game of Thrones Song of Fire and Ice

Currently I am reading Goldfinch, Donna Tartt, how much that boy can suffer???

How to improve your listening skill?

Many people struggle with their listening skill. I have been struggling with listening about 3 years and eventually it got better and better. I've done following things in order to boost my listening skill.

1. Watching serial movies with subtitle. I watched Friends (like 20 times), Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City, Game of Thrones (MY FAVORITE ONE) - Highly recommended
2. Always listening to Billboard hits and memorizing its lyrics
3. Lately i've been listening BBC radio online. If you have internet connection then while you are checking your emails, FB whatever, it is not a big problem right?
4. Try to watch TV programs in English.
