Hello! everyone! Long time I've not updated my news. 5555555 ^_^ Hopefully, everyone is fine. ^_^

 

             Have you ever asked yourself why we live in the world or what I'm doing now? ^_^ Today I'd like to share some ideas about living in the world with the purpose. ^_^

 

            I believe that most of you have asked this question before; however, it doesn't matter. ^_^ As for me, many times in my life I felt that I'm so tired to study or work everyday and sometimes I'd like to go away from the current situations. However, God always reminds me who you are doing for. If I routinely study or work without eternal purpose, it is useless. If I've been struggling many difficulties for myself reasons, I reap worthless results. In case of non-understanding, I mean that I should not live in the world with meaningless life.

 

            How do you define by "meaningless life"? In my opinion, it means that everything you've done is for yourself not God. Even though it seems over-religious, it doesn't.  I could witness many blessings from God. ^_^

 

            In conclusion, asking ourselves everyday, every moment and turn back to God. Praise Him, worship Him and give thanks to Him. Everyday in our lives will be filled with peace and grace. ^_^

Hello! I'm back. 555555

 

             We decided to ask someone and we found one person who was walking in front of us. He said "Umm... you should turn left at this junction and go straight on because this building is not far from here". We were glad to hear that; however, I really didn't agree with him because I looked at the map and guessed that we should turn right. We had walked as the direction the stranger adviced for half an hour. While we was traveling, we saw a map at a bus stop. Nevertheless, it didn't show the direction to our destination. We thought that we should keep going on the same way. As far as we passed on, we were tired and confused. God had reminded me again with the precede word, 1 Pet.5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Thus, I was empowered and I believed that we would arrive that building punctually. I told my friend we should ask someone else.

 

              We inquired an Australian man who was waiting a bus. He said that we came the opposite direction. Oh!!! God!!! Could you imagine our feelings? We were shocked; however, we asked how long we would take if we went there by walk. "15 Mins.", he said. Therefore, we ran as much as we could because we'd got 30 mins left. By His grace, I felt peaceful and thanksgiving to Him. I trusted Him with wholeheartedly that He was with me. Eventually, we arrived at our destination at 8.45 am. Praise God.!!!

 

              The room opened at 9.00 am and started the real test at 9.30 am. I was really nervous, even though I tried to take a deep breath. The test started with the listening part, taking 30 mins. for listening and answer and more 10 mins. for transferring the answers on the answer sheet. Before the listening test began, I considered that this part should not be difficult for me because I had spent a lot of time to improve listening skills. Yet, I found that the unexpected factor, panic attack, effected greatly to me. I missed few answers as I was listening and I couldn't find some answers too. From this view, you may think that  it was very bad but I thought that it was not too bad. I did my best. 5555555

 

              Following this test was the reading test, containing three passages. Each passage was not too difficult to understand but the problematic point was that the type of questions. True, False, Not given type, tricky question,  was the most popular question in IELTS test.

Candidates might be easily confused. Overall for this part, I thought that it was not too bad again. 5555555 The most exciting test came after that the writing test. It has two tasks, namely task 1 and 2. The first task is to describe the graph or the table or sometimes it might be a process diagram. The candidates must pick the distinctive features to write and compare where it is revelant. Next task is the essay, asking for an argument or discussion from the students. In my opinion, the test was not too hard to write. However, I found that I couldn't select the main feature to write in task 1. In contrast, I thought that I did very well in the task 2, whose mark is doubled as much as task 1 is. I disappointed the task 1 so much because I had enought time to deal with but I couldn't do it well.

 

              After the stressful period, I had a half an hour break. The speaking test was waiting for me at 1.00 pm. 555555 By God's grace, my anxiety had gone. 3 parts of the speaking test were conducted by a qualified examiner. For the first part is about the familiar topics in our life. For example, I was asked about cloth and film, such as "Do you like the film" and " Which kind of movies do you like most" etc. After that it is the long turn speaking, the candidate was given 1 min. to prepare to speak and start talking alone for 1 or 2 mins. When the time was ended, the examiner will move into the last part, the most difficult part. The abstract questions were raised and the candidate have to give an opinion or discussion. The questions are related to the part 2 topic. The skill and ability, for instance, was my questions. The examiner asked "What do you think which skill and ability are important in the future".

 

              In my opinion, overall was not too bad but I really have no idea for the result which is released on Feb 16. ^_^  When I came back home, I addressed this story on my blog but I couldn't finish it because I went to play a chairball game with my church's friends. ^_^ 555555 I've got a fantastic period to release my stress and had a great fun time. 555555 Thanks God. ^_^

Hello! Good Afternoon everybody! ^_^

 

        As I mentioned above, I have no idea to describe my experiences which occured a few days ago. Actually my experiences were not bad but I think that they are a mixture of being happiness and sadness. Why do I feel that? I don't know. 555555 Anyway, I am still OK. Pls don't think that I'm in trouble. God always be beside me, even though I couldn't see Him. 5555555

 

        555555 I'd like to thanks God for today because I've finished my exam, IELTS. It stands for The International English Language Testing System which non-English speakers must take before they study in the USA's, UK's, Australia's and New Zealand's universities. Score of IELTS which is required from each faculty is different from other faculty as well.

 

        Let me tell you my special testimony. ^_^ When I got up in the morning, I was really nervous. Even though I've prepared for the test for two months which some consider that it's quite long period, I was still worried it. When some people are in stress, they usually do something to relax themselves. So do I, 55555. I've prayed. Nevertheless, my concerns were still there. God has spoken to me, "don't be anxious because God is beside you." I realized that it was in the Bible, so I looked up and found in 1 Pet.5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Peace from God has replaced into my mind and my confidence came back to me as well. ^_^

 

        Basically, travelling from my place to the building which this exam was held is quite easy; however, it seemed not. 5555 To begin with, I should take a bus at 7.37 am to the train station. I nearly missed this bus because it came late. Actually, I decided to walk from my place to the train station but I prayed that God led me, please. I didn't want to miss any buses or trains. While I had a few steps, suddenly the bus arrived. Amazingly, I met my ex-classmate who was going to that place on that bus and I've also found that the fee was higher than I thought. Thanks God, eventually we arrived the station punctually. We took a train to the middle of Brisbane's city.

 

         I didn't know the direction but my friend said that he has surveyed already. However, we've got lost. 5555555 This is the details. ^_^

My friend said that we should get off at "Central railway station" and walked to the building but when we looked at the map. We thought that if we got off at the preceding station, we would walk shortly. Thus, we decided to got off that station. Unexpectedly, when we were that station, we really had no idea where we should go due to unfamiliar station. We walked through the station and found a street. The street was not appeared in the map and we were getting lost. Oh!!!!!!!!! It was 8.00 am. and the test would start at 9.00 am. ........... So excited!!!! ......... To be continued. ^_^
