Fluency Exercise #5

We must score over 520 points on the TOEFL test to pass CESL(Center for English as Second Language).

That will be so much stress for CESL students.

Actually, many of the students prepare for the TOEFL but the TOEFL score wil change according to the person's condition. So to take the TOEFL and get a high score is so much stress for students. In my case, in the TOEFL test, I got a high score in the listening part. But structure part always beats me.

So people who want to get a high score in the TOEFL, should study all the parts of TOEFL.

I decided to write down about the best way to study vocabulary. Actually, there are many ways to study vocabulary such as speaking and writing down, flash cards and take out vocabulary and read inside much of time. It is just up to people's study style.

In my case, using flash cards is the best way to study vocabulary. Also, many CESL teachers recommend that way. Vocabulary is the hardest thing in studying English. First time, people of course do not remember.
You have to take time with a relaxing mind.

Fluency Ex #3

I would like to recomend campus life in SIUC for my Korean friends. First, it has nice rec-center. I heard from someone that our rec-center is one of the biggest places to exercise in the United States. So I am very proud of it. I will tell my friends about that first. Next, the campus is big enough with nature. The campus is pretty big, has a lake and many places to take a rest. It is good for students, because the place will be good place for a date or for running or fishing so I recommend SIUC.

Finally, it's located in a rural part of America. So it is good for study. Nothing to do in the town but we just exercise, hang out with friends and study. It is good for students. In conclusion, I totally will recomend it to my friend. SIUC has many nice things for students.

what aspect of my social life in the USA is most stressful?

I think my story is just not much of a hard thing, but it's the first time and it is very stressful for me.
When I came to America, I had to buy food and get refunds or something like this, and do it my self, but my English skill was not good enough for that also I don't have a car. In case of my town in Korea, they have a subway so I can go anywhere very easily. So if i had stuff for a refund, I can't take it to refund such as ask to one of my friend who has a car, it was so much stress to me.

I have to pay monthly electronic fee and water fee; That was also very stressful to me, because I tried by Internet, I needed a social security number, but I don't even have it, I had to visit the bill place and pay. It was so much stress for me.

It will make people tired because they can't taking a picture all the time and all of sistuation. Some good things are in picture myself. For example, can take a picture whatever and make some crazy acting or funny face on camera. But it is will stressfull because if want to take picture themselves with background. And I think always same acting, not much way to take a picture.

Also people who have a big head or face the camera just take a face not else. So it will be stressfull, too. They will be kind of social loner because acting and everyting in the picture think alone. So people will sick of picture yourself.
