How To Study English

Lillian Said:

How much will it cost me to study English course for beginners in the U.K plus accommodation?

We Answered:

We do offer English courses for non English speakers free at a lot of colleges. Others make a small charge.

It is the cost of living which will take up your money. You can stay as a visitor but not work for up to six months. If you can rent a flat or room then it will cost about a thousand pounds a month to live. Less in some places more in others.

I am tying to study English better, I want to think in English, how can I do for this?

We Answered:

There is no substitute for live conversation in learning to think in a new language. Your auditory processing machinery needs to learn to hear properly and is a large part of what your brain uses to think about meaning. Live give-and-take conversation also encourages thinking in the language because all else is too slow. I got more from one month in a Mexican fishing village than from 4 years of upper-school Spanish. Exposure to other languages, and non-native speakers of other languages, have confirmed this opinion for me.

How do i get a 30+ in english VCE? whats the best way to study english ?

We Answered:

Talk to your teacher (as well as other VCE English teachers).
Ask them if they could give you additional essay topics to write on and if they would mark these extra papers for you. Most teachers are more than willing to do this (many seem to see it as a personal achievement when a student in their class excels) and you may find it useful to get a second or third opinion on your writing style from other teachers (especially as a lot of SACs are cross-marked). Please talk to your teacher about consulting other teachers before you do it, I have seen a teacher get very hurt over students going 'behind their back' (I know it sounds silly, but it's true). Don't forget to practice all of the tasks on the exam, not just essay writing!

In addition to this, start writing quotes out now, the more quotes that you can memorise the better! You don't know what the topic will be on your exam, so be prepared with quotes that you can use to validate several points.

I would download the exams from previous years and practice those, making sure that you follow the time limit. It is important that you get used to writing under time constraints. Having said that, I found that I had ample time in the final exam. Also submit any previous exams that you complete for marking- your teacher probably won't provide as much feedback as they would on essays that they have set but they will still give you some feedback.

Also, remember that your SACs are very important! Make sure that you are well rested and prepared for each one.

Finally, don't stress out too much! I didn't do any of the things that I have suggested you try and I still did very well, you don't have to do everything. I would strongly recommend that you speak to your teacher, they will be able to tell you if you are on track for a 30+ study score or if you need to put in a bit of extra work. A study score of 30+ is achievable, I'm sure that you will get there!

Jeffrey Said:

Will I be able to study English Literature at University without the B grade required?

We Answered:

My advice would be to stay positive. I got a C at AS level and walked out with a B at A level, and at GCSE I had originally got a D and took that again and got a C.
Have you not already done the AS exam modules again? You should have. If you need to do it this summer because EVERY mark counts. If you have the desire there isn't any reason why you shouldn't get that grade.
