Class Notes

Making Plans
Date: 29 May 2019

Task #1: For my studies

I) Model Responses

I think today the most important thing is bullying and socialization with other people.

It's an example of my family - I have a cousin and my aunt asked him to start a course at university
but he didn't want to do that course.
If you study a long time ago (in advance) you are more prepared for that exam and you won't have a
lot of stress.

My advice is to read things in English and listen to series and videos and movies. Do exercises every
day is a great thing that you can do to improve your English.

Statements from class

No matter how much you plan, life's unpredictable.

Sometimes you could plan your life but life is unpredictable.

Whether you like it or not, you have to deal with what life throws at you.

There's rarely time to think things through, you often just have to roll with the punches.

You have to stay prepared with everything.

To prove that you're capable, always push yourself to the limit.

Whenever you feel life's too much, you might want to take a step back.
II) Corrections

He don't (doesn't) know what he wants to do at the moment.

It could generate stressful (stress) You have to relax more before the exam and other things to not
generate this problem.

Sometimes when I feel stress I take a glass of tea. (cup of tea) It makes me feel better.

I always see (look at) the schedule of my exams.

this context)

finished it by then.”
