"IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".
John 14:14
Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

Sa listening naman. Merong site na http://hbr.org/multimedia marami silang interviews with famous people na makaka tulong sayo. Pwede mong i emulate ang mga ininterview sa website na ito. Meron din silang transcript nang interview if gusto mong i check kung meron kang lines na hindi naintindihan sa ausio file.

Nevertheless, meron akong links na kinolekta which I posted here

Sa listening naman. Merong site na http://hbr.org/multimedia marami silang interviews with people who excel in their fields na makaka tulong sayo. Pwede mong i emulate ang mga ininterview sa website na ito. Meron din silang transcript nang interview if gusto mong i check kung meron kang lines na hindi naintindihan sa audio file. I listened to the audio files na na DL ko from this site and it helped me sa speaking. Atsaka sinubukan kong i answer ang interview sa isip ko lang. You'll never know, baka lumabas sa speaking or sa writing ang pinakinggan mo dito.
Review centers do work. They give you the basics of writing and they also give you lectures on what to expect and some even have support systems in place. So it is always a good idea to enroll.
Between IDP and BC, BC charges more than IDP. Yan lang alam ko when I took.
Here's what you should do IMHO
1. Stop watching tagalog shows for now. Watch national geographic, discovery channel, CNN, etc. If you can not forego the Juan del Cruzes or the Apoy sa Dagats, you should try to forego the Kris Aquinos. LOL. The moment you start making dal-dal like Kris, your speaking exam results go down the drain.
2. Read anything. Not just anything, but read something about technology, science, sports, politics, hobbies - i think these are the topics that usually come out in academic writing and speaking. I'd skip romance novels if i were you. One good site for which has a lot of articles is http://pulse.me and they are categorized . Anything you read will translate to your speaking and writing skills.
