  • That's lovely @MoustaphaColy. It is natural to miss home when moving abroad. If you keep yourself busy with studies and exploring the country, it may be easier to cope with homesickness.

  • Thank you for sharing your learnings from this step,@MadinaKhudayqulova. You probably meant "scope", not "ope".

  • What university are you planning to apply to, @MoustaphaColy?

  • Good job, @DavidKamau, for finding the university website's academic integrity and misconduct page. They went into great detail there; even self-plagiarism is covered.

  • Thank you for sharing your answer. @DavidKamau. You can check the PDF now and compare your choices.

  • It's a good idea, @DavidKamau, to allocate some time for proofreading. Thank you for sharing.

  • Thank you for your comment, @DavidKamau. You are spot on the difference between the two types of writing.

  • Thank you for sharing @ShogofaMirzad. It is not easy to leave your country, family and friends, but you are right - you will get a good education, new experiences and new friends and connections. Luckily, modern technology helps us to stay connected.

  • Oh, that's so sweet @RuthEdiale. It may help you to feel more at home. If you ever feel homesick or down, remember that you are not alone and help is available. You can find some useful tips on how to manage your well-being in this free course: https://www.futurelearn.com/admin/courses/managing-your-wellbeing-when-studying-in-the-uk

  • Thank you for sharing @ShogofaMirzad. As Brian mentioned in his comment above, be careful what type of food you wish to bring in; there may be restrictions.

  • Which university did you check, @RuthEdiale?

  • Well done, @RuthEdiale!

  • Thank you for your feedback, @CarolineNwobu, and congratulations on completing the course.

  • Thank you, @MaryamParsa, for being such an egaged learner. All the best for your future plans!

  • Thank you for sharing @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI. It is a pretty significant learning point.

  • Thank you for sharing @OluwayemisiJenfa. Some of your learning points are very important. I hope your new knowledge will be useful in the future.

  • It is good to hear that you found the information in this step useful, @MaryamParsa.

  • Thank you for such a lovely comment, @OluwayemisiJenfa. The best feedback for us is to know that our learners feel more confident and empowered after completing the course.

  • It sounds so cute, @OluwayemisiJenfa. You could buy a mixer here, but carrying your "old" one will remind you about your home.

  • That's a good idea, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI!

  • All the best with your plan, @MaryamParsa!

  • I completely agree with you, @OluwayemisiJenfa. You can't underestimate the power of networking. Create new connections in your study field and personal network while studying in the UK.

  • Thank you for sharing @ShogofaMirzad. A spoken presentation or wtitten assignment get better with practice. They require slightly different skills, but you will need to master both.

  • Thank you for sharing @CarolineNwobu. Do you work well under pressure then?

  • Thank you for sharing @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI. This type of assessment has been used more frequently in the last few years. Did you find it less stressful compared to a face-to-face assessment?

  • Thank you for sharing @OluwayemisiJenfa. Did you have any challenges during a group work assessment?

  • Thank you for sharing the statement of the university of your choice @OluwayemisiJenfa.

  • Thank you for sharing your learnings, @OluwayemisiJenfa.

  • Great job, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI. Thank you for sharing your answer.

  • This is a very good try @OluwayemisiJenfa. Well done. Have a look at the PDF and compare your answer.

  • Thank you for sharing @ShogofaMirzad. I completely agree with you; if you know that you have enough time, you are less likely to get stressed and make mistakes.

  • Absolutely @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI.

  • That's a good idea to create a plan of actions, set up deadlines for each @RuthEdiale

  • Thank you for your suggestion, @OluwayemisiJenfa.

  • Thank you for sharing @MaryamParsa.

  • Thank you for the comment, @OluwayemisiJenfa. While numbers and facts may be used in IELTS essays to support your ideas, the main focus would be the language.

  • Thank you for your comment @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI. You are definitely on the right track. Let's see if you will think about any other differences by the end of this week.

  • Thank you for sharing your thoughts @ShogofaMirzad. Let's see what you think at the end of week 4.

  • Thank you for the comment @DavidKamau. I assume you have done academic writing before.

  • Thank you for sharing @DavidKamau. I completely agree that the library environment helps stay focused and more productive.

  • Excellent! Which university (or universities) are you planning to apply for @DavidKamau?

  • Thank you, @DavidKamau. Is there a suggestion in the article on how to speed up the process of changing consumers' behaviour?

  • Absolutely! I could not agree more.

  • Thank you for sharing, @ShogofaMirzad. Text A has, indeed, a lot of detailed information and includes some strategies for reducing meat consumption. Are there any other reasons why this text is relevant to the assignment?

  • Thank you for sharing your main learning points, @DavidKamau. Critical thinking is a core academic skill, and you must master it regardless of the subject you will study.

  • That's very unfortunate @MoustaphaColy.

  • Thank you for sharing @MoustaphaColy. I completely agree with you that searching for information online is very convenient.

  • I hope this course will help to make this journey easy, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI.

  • Glad to hear you have learned some new information about the UK and UK universities, @MaryamParsa.

  • Thank you for sharing @RuthEdiale.

  • Thank you for sharing @CarolineNwobu. Some learners also memorise better when they write.

  • Thank you for sharing @CarolineNwobu.

  • Thank you for sharing @RuthEdiale. Many students prefer university libraries because they have so much to offer.

  • That's fantastic, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI, that you can adapt to almost any environment.

  • Thank you for doing your search and sharing @RuthEdiale! Many universities in the UK offer similar services. Of course, it is good to know what the university of your choice offers.

  • Absolutely @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI.

  • Thank you for reading the article and summarising the main points @RuthEdiale. What is your conclusion? Do you think this article is relevant to the assignment?

  • Thank you for such a detailed evaluation, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI!

  • Thank you for sharing @DavidKamau. Have you searched for information/resources related to your subject yourself? Anything you plan to read before the start of your course?

  • Sorry to hear you have issues with your internet connection @ShogofaMirzad. Dr Dan Jones speaks in that video; not much happens otherwise. If you can hear the sound, that's great.

  • Absolutely @OluwayemisiJenfa. If someone has a disability, it doesn't mean that person can't learn, work, and be an active member of society. UK universities put a lot of work into helping all students, including students with disabilities, to reach their full potential.

  • Thank you for sharing @OluwayemisiJenfa. Mobile devices are used more and more nowadays.

  • Thank you for sharing @OluwayemisiJenfa. It's good to hear you are flexible and can adapt depending on the assignment's needs or other cicumstances.

  • I agree with you, @OluwayemisiJenfa. Have you decided which university (or universities) is your preferred choice? Check what their library services offer.

  • Thank you @OluwayemisiJenfa, for analysing the text D. You mentioned that this article can be used for building up your background knowledge about the topic. Would you refer to the Guardian text or the Science article in your assignment at all?

  • Thank you for sharing @RuthEdiale. Finding information online is a bit easier, so many of us switch to online reading.

  • Thank you for your comment, @CarolineNwobu. I agree that it is easy to enjoy reading when the topic is interesting, or the text is written well.

  • Hope you will find this week's content useful @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI

  • Welcome to Week 3 @RuthEdiale!

  • Well done for completing your second week @ShogofaMirzad! It is good to hear you have learned something new this week.

  • Thank you for recording this short presentation about entrepreneurship and what is required from an entrepreneur @RuthEdiale. You clearly stated what the presentation was about and talked about the main topic. The presentation was straight to the point. I would recommend adding a short conclusion or final thought and pausing to emphasise the key points. This...

  • Thank you for sharing @MaryamParsa.

  • You did an excellent job this week @DavidKamau! Thank you for your active participation!

  • Completely agree with you @MaryamParsa

  • Sounds like a plan @DavidKamau

  • It will be worth the effort, @ShogofaMirzad. All the students will also be new, so initiating a conversation or even a new friendship may be easier when everyone is in the same boat.

  • Thank you for your comment, @DavidKamau. Many UK universities have a notable percentage of international students from all over the world, so you will have plenty of opportunities to learn about other cultures.

  • That's great @ShogofaMirzad! You may befriend other new international students whose first language is not English or who are shy.

  • Good to see you have learned some useful tips @DavidKamau

  • Thank you for listing your suggestions @DavidKamau

  • Excellent. You have quite a comprehensive list @DavidKamau

  • I think you meant "learning without practice", @OluwatobiDolapoSanni. That's true; the more you practice speaking, the easier it gets.

  • Thank you for being such an engaged learner so far, @OluwatobiDolapoSanni, and enjoy week 2!

  • Thank you for being such an active learner, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI! Keep it up!

  • Universities in the UK organise lots of activities for students; you will have plenty of opportunities to make new friends :)

  • Glad to hear that @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI!

  • Thank you @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI! Great job! The presentation has a clear structure, the content is easy to understand and interesting, and you managed to fit it in 3 minutes. You can polish your speech by adding more emphasis on key points, some pauses, etc. But, on the whole, you did very well.

  • This is an excellent try, @OluwayemisiJenfa! And you are the first learner in this course who recorded a presentation! Yes, the presentation provided lots of information on HR metrics. You had a nice introduction to the topic and lots of further information. You could shorten it a bit (maybe make it less detailed) and fit a conclusion into the given 5 minutes...

  • Good to hear that you have learn something new @OluwayemisiJenfa

  • Thank you for sharing your suggestions @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI! Your last point is so relevant to international students. It's good to understand the vocabulary of a specific subject, but knowing that you pronounce words correctly can make a massive difference in one's confidence.

  • Thank you @OluwayemisiJenfa! Some excellent suggestions!

  • Thank you for your comment, @RuthEdiale. A group leader can make a big difference in how the group works. If everyone agrees to comply with the group leader's decisions, it should not be challenging to divide tasks evenly and not allow one person to dominate the discussion.

  • Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts, @BABATUNDEOGUNBIYI. Do you have any ideas on how to make everyone contribute during group work?

  • Good to hear you found the information in the step useful @ShogofaMirzad

  • Thank you for sharing @CarolineNwobu! Now, when you learn about other strategies, you can also apply those in the future.

  • Thank you for sharing @RuthEdiale. Excellent strategies!

  • I completely agree with you, @RuthEdiale. It's like doing a physical exercise - the more you train, the better results you achieve.

  • Thank you for sharing @OluwayemisiJenfa. That's right, the more you practice, the easier it gets. Even if you practice speaking only 15 minutes daily, you will notice a difference soon.

  • Welcome to Week 2 @RuthEdiale! There will be plenty of useful information this week.

  • Thank you for sharing @MoustaphaColy. I agree that adding notes to a handout is convenient for revising the lecture content later.
