As being government employee, there is always an opportunity to avail fully funded scholarship offered by universities in abroad. I have come across some reputable universities of the world offering for scholarship in the relevant faculty to my career, but subject to having 6 band or plus in IELTS. So, I decided to appear in IELTS test, so as to avail this offer. When I searched for the best institutions where I could prepare for it, I was astonished to see fees of these institutions were so high. However, I registered in one of the most esteem institutions.
The instructor's name was Mr. John seemed like a native, but at outset of the class, he seemed to be a time killer, but when I asked him to equip us with the techniques that we would require in answering the queries in the test, he shared links of some sites and asked us to check it out at home. Every day, he showed some English learning sites and taught us nothing. Perhaps the whole class relished his personal stories and experiences, so no single student felt bothered to smite his conscience and to ask him to the point. Interesting thing, whenever he made pairs for conversation, he chose a girl for me as speaking partner. When I asked him to replace her with someone male, he rejected my proposal, saying with a smile on his face that I was going to a western country. So, it's also a part of my practice.
In a nutshell, all the techniques we learned from some of the sites he referred us. At the end, I felt remorse for wasting not money but precious 50 hours I spent here. However, I would like to thank him for giving me so much importance in the class and appreciating me in everything I did there that really meant to me in terms of boosting my confidence.
