The Last but Not The End

"There is no failure except not trying again." - Elbert Hubbard

Hello Reader!!

I hope all is well this week :) 

    This is the last blog on the course on Listening For Academic Purposes. It doesn't feel like we have gone through so many meetings and different types of assignments and different levels of difficulty. here I will tell you about the final test given for the final exam of this course. We are given 3 different types of questions and each level in my opinion is getting more difficult.

      The last meeting, for part A questions like the types of questions we worked on before, this part is quite easy because we have got the same types of questions. But I felt that the time given was insufficient, I don't know why, but with 40 minutes for 30 questions of that type less, so I collected them at the last second. but I am grateful that I got a good score in one try. Furthermore, the Part B question consists of 8 questions, but has a slightly longer text than before so I have to listen to the audio 2-3 times to remember the points asked from the question. for the last part or part 3 it has 12 questions with the same time and a long question too, I repeated it once because there was a question that I doubted the correctness of the answer I chose and it was true that the question was wrong because when I repeated it by answering the same answer and only change the answer that I think is doubtful, it seems correct because the value has increased from before and there is still one question which I do not know where the error lies at that time.

  Thankyou to Miss Novi for teaching us, especially me in this Listening For Acedemic Purpose course, I hope all the lessons given can be remembered and used well in the future.

Thank you for reading my blog to the end.

Hello Reader!!

I hope all is well this week :) 

This is the thirteenth blog, I made it early because I finished the task early. we answer the types of questions with the theme SHORT DIALOGUES STRATEGIES and end with a review of the exercise. Last week's assignment was overwhelming but each task consisted of only 10 questions and it took fifteen minutes to complete it. I finished it well with the various obstacles that exist.

      Last meeting,  we are working on three unit assignments which are divided into several sections and finally there is a formative test 5, it turns out that this is an example of a question that is often used in the TOEFL test. For units 1 and 2 it goes well, sometimes I repeat 1 or 2 times because the value has not reached the passing grade limit provided but when I arrive at unit 3, I have to repeat more than 3 times and have not reached the passing grade. I am very confused about which part is wrong from my answer choice because I think the answer I choose is in accordance with the dialogue that I heard, it makes me dizzy so much that I postpone doing the task haha. Finally, the Formative test 5 is the same as unit 3, there is one part that I repeated several times. However, all of that really trains my listening process in solving this dialogue problem. It turned out that the choice that I thought was correct is still not right because it does not cover the conclusion of the whole dialogue.

For this week enough up to here andddd...

Hello Reader!!

I hope all is well this week :) 

       This is the twelfth blog, I am writing this very late than usual because it was fasting and I really feel lazy to write this blog. but I have made a summary of what difficulties I faced before. The previous meeting I think we didn't have a meeting on google meet to discuss the previous assignment or maybe I was the one who slept and didn't attend the class, but my feelings are always right :)

     Last meeting, I think there was nothing so difficult from the previous assignment because previously we also faced similar questions so there were no specific difficulties, again we have to focus on listening to the statements submitted and choosing the correct answer. Alhamdulillah, most of the results are above the value of 9 and the error is not more than 5. The vocabulary used is still mostly basic vocabulary so you can still guess about the answers related to the statement. My weaknesses are still the same, sometimes I have translated vocabulary while doing the assignment but then the next day with the same vocabulary I have forgotten the meaning :(

For this week enough up to here andddd...
