A BIG,BIG week ahead
The 'phoney war' is over, this coming week will make you or break you!
Every day is critical, you CANNOT afford to miss a single lesson and THURSDAY is just as important as any other day.
So, over the weekend you:
- read the Sydney Opera House passage and answered the questions
- wrote me a task 1 and task 2 IELTS writing
- read the INSIGHT into IELTS reading units 1. 2 and 3
- started your vocabulary lists
- organised your files
- reviewed the handouts I gave you last week
- looked ahead to this week's road map schedule
- checked out IELTS websites online
- looked through the old weblogs
- went to the learning Zone
- practised, practised and practised your English
Fantastic! This week we crack on with the Speaking interviews; get into Reading question types; prepare for the second debate and have a mid-course feedback session tomorrow. Yes, we are almost halfway through the course and some of you (most of you?) are still in SECOND gear!!!
Yes, I know it is hard, but IELTS is cruel and unforgiving. There are no 'free breakfasts' with IELTS!
I wonder how Saeed got on with his third attempt at IELTS - we should get an idea tonight!
This week we sort out your Task 2 essay writing strategy and deal with Reading (Listening and Speaking are manageable.)
OK then you silent, unresponsive potatoes, what are you made of? Give me a reaction! Anything is better than a pathetic silence (Assma and Niveen excepted!)
Your tutor expects a great deal from you, can YOU deliver?
Answers please! No excuses wanted!
Tony

Al Salamu Alaikum,
How are you Mr. Tony? How are you all?
I guess that ieltscommunity15 members do not know what they are missing!!
In fact, when I read Mr. tony's post, I had the desire to look back over the Sydney Opera passage even though I had had the exam.
Dear Mr. Tony,
I have done the exam last day and I believe that I have done well, Inshaa Allah.
I thought that after the exam I will be relaxed and that the stress will go away. But in vain, the exam ghost is still roaming in my head and even in my dreams and will not disappear until I get the results… Time before the exam was passing so quickly but now the clock hands are freezing…
I have to leave now…
I wish all the best for ieltscommunity 14 & 15.. and of course, to our tutor Mr. Tony..
Regards,
Sana' Rasheed

Gosh! Rohini and Sana' - you are so sweet!
Thank you for your kind comments and encouragement for ieltscommunity15 - they need it!
Sana', now you can unwind and look forward, In Sha Allah, to getting your due reward with band 7.0 overall!
Rohini, best of luck - have you taken the exam yet or is it in January? Shall I invite you to join our blog and post messages?
Best regards to you both and past/present IELTS students of mine.
Tony
