    Popular in your networks

    Well, I have an account in all of these platforms but mostly I use Instagram and Facebook but after I watched the last video i will use twitter and LinkedIn equally with others.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    What stops us from networking?

    For me It depends about the first impression and the type of meetings and activities I will have , I'm still a little bit far in these things that's why I take courses to develop my skills, I'm trying to do my best to be suitable for the next.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    Benefits and opportunities

    Well, for me networking it's really important in workplace especially when you are new in the place to develop your skills and share your ideas with people who has experience that you'll need in next days.

    What advice would you give?

    First, read a lot because when you read you get more vocabulary that's help you write comfortably, second practice more by writing academic essays and learn from sites like this, third, use your time accurately and be focused.

    Well, I think before taking exam you should practice more by writing essays, learning and practicing from sites like this by the way thanks to mentors and educators, know what you should do before taking exams( criteria, limited time...), second while you're taking the exam just be focused and concentrated( read the question, paraphrase the introduction, write...

    What's difficult about writing?

    Well, for me I didn't take exams like that before but for what I learned with you that seemed a little bit difficult, even though I feel have a good level in English but when I take exams that have marking criteria and limited time I became confused and unfocused but I will practice more until I become ready.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    What advice would you give?

    For me, I think you need to read different kinds of books(literature, science, IT, physics ...) because you don't know which type of text you'll given, also while you are reading just skim the questions and be concentrated .

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    What's difficult about reading?

    Well, In reading you don't have to understand everything the important that you understand the meaning, also you don't have to use dictionary every time because you will be bored just start from the books that suit your level, then step by step your vocabulary will widen, you will make a progress in your level after that automatically you will read books that...

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    What advice would you give?

    Well, the main thing to improve your writing is to read a lot and practice writing similar topics (formal or informal) to task 1 and task 2, find your weaknesses in writing ( coherence or cohesion, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy) and try to improve them .

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    Share your advice

    Rob mentioned the things that you have to do it when you are in the exam but my advice before taking the exam like I wrote in the previous steps ( speaking, listening) that you should prepare well by taking similar topics ( task 1 or task 2) to these and write about them until you find yourself ready to get the criteria that they asked you for.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    How do you feel about writing in English?

    well, I agree with Russian man that writing depends about the topic that you will write about, how much vocabulary you have (know) about the topic and for the other things it's easy and I don't have problems.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    What advice would you give?

    Well, the three pieces of advice that I've learned are : first, practise and listen more before taking the exam especially to the podcast, documentaries and lectures, second, be conctrated to what you hear or listen carefully while you're taking the exam, third, write your answers carefully and don't be confused .

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment

    Is listening to English difficult?

    Well, listening for me is the most difficult part in English especially when I listen from audio like one of the student said, also when I'm not concentrated I stay listen but I get nothing so this my problem in listening and I'm doing my best to make it easy and normal.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    What advice would you give?

    first, listening, second finding someone you can practice with him/her, third practice makes you perfect.

  • Mohamed Chouakri made a comment
    How can you practise listening to all these things?

    For me , the most important in the listening skills you need to practise is to be conscious to what you listen(not distraction) and to catch the main ideas l(monoluges or conversation) and I usully listen to the audio books and watch english shows , the good places to find these things I think in Cambridge english , Oxford university or british council .
