It's been so long time since i posted in ENGTALK board
and during this several years, i dropped my english.
so many things happened, i prepared GRE and TOEFL for study-abroad dream
but got failed due to economic things
getting master degree, finding job,
though i got 700up score in TOEIC 2years ago,
but actually i have NEVER studied any english since then,
and the worst of all,
this whole year i spent almost of my leisure time study japanese
and it is really a english destroyer
i've forgotten most of vocabulary and grammar already,
even writing this article becomes difficult for me.
maybe reading is still fine bot i cannot speak nor write
lately, my good friend wants to prepare for ielts test and invite me to join
we've been a team while learning japanese this year and that is his objection
also i want to revitalize my english abilities
but IELTS is not as easy as we thought, it will be a long and hard way
due to high application expense, i should take whole preparation before exam
but writing and speaking is difficult to practice
and most of i've learned is american-english while ielts test is eng-english
my friend doesn't have much time preparing
but i'm afraid that he is even worse at english than me
what can we do to prepare ielts in short time? it's apprehensive
