0- Part1 About the left part of IELTS
Last Saturday, I took the remianing parts of IELTS test: listening, reading, and writing.
To my surprise, it wasn’t as hard as I’d imagined. I had experienced some much more challenging practice tests during my preparation.
However, I still had several questions where I was not sure if my answers were correct, but it's acceptable.
For each test, there is a room which I named "Error Room"; it’s like a little space where a few mistakes are allowed.
It contains a certain number of errors within an acceptable range, which won't affect what you wanna get.
This is because these standard tests cannot always logically explain all the "correct" answers, or sometimes those answers don't fully convince people. What's more, what I want to get is a score range, so it isn't something I have to get 100% correct. For me, 95% is ok, if 95%-100% counts as an A.
This attitude enables me to stay relaxed and accept some of my mistakes, freeing myself from perfectionism.
- Part2 About the month of IELTS preparation
What's fun is that I downloaded Red Note yesterday, and I started unfollowing over 300 accounts. I want to keep reducing the number of those accounts that I follow, maybe get them down to under 100 ( the initial number was 700+).
The reason I'm doing this is that I don't want to be overwhelmed by the external noise . Most of the time, these accounts have nothing to do with me - they just distract me and fill my brain with tons of irrelevant information.
Now I just want to focus more on myself.
Meanwhile, I didn't do offline socializing either, and I didn't tell many friends that I had been preparing for the test. Part of the reason is that I feel exhausted to explain myself; the other part is a bit of superstition-do not tell others, but do something you want quietly, then you will get what you are after eventually.
*do socializing 社交
*noise 即是可数又是不可数
