Revision, revision, revision



It is Thursday night of the reading week and my notes are everywhere.



 

 The weather gave us lovely surprise and we had snow!!!!



In the second week of January I started a GCSE English course. Every Tuesday afternoon I’m in college for 4 hours. The course is interesting but very intense at the same time. It is a long day in University and then college, sometimes I think it’s too much and I have my doubts and ask myself why I put myself through this ;-/
It’s hard...working two days a week, studying full time education in a second language and doing an extra course in college. The choices we make in our life are not easy, especially if we want to achieve something valuable and it costs us time and hard work. Since I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. My Mum is a Primary Teacher and she passed on to me her passion about teaching, she is my role model. 

 It is only a few days left until my first exam. I have done plenty of reading and looked through my notes over and over and over again. Now, I just have to stay positive and hope for the best.

Revision tips



Three weeks left until my first exam!!! I'm so stressed already but I’m trying to control my nerves  :-/ I don’t know where to start and how to get ready for this exam. English is my second language therefore I have to spend more time revising and memorising materials. In one of the study skills handbooks I have read the chapter - "Revision and Exam", and decided to share with you my revision tips.



 Revision tips for exam

      Prepare your notes
         Make short notes with main key points
