I am leaning to say that most of us in this course will be the one-to-one kind. We most feel that we need to improve this skill on us.

When do you feel most conscious when communicating? What was the impact?
When I am calm and very conscious of my acts and words. The impact is extremely positive, because even if you do not get the best results you will feel confident about you attitude.Is there a scenario you’ve had or witnessed in which someone reacted instead of responding? What was...

I was classified as a growth mindset. Which is very nice. It will looks like `impostor syndrome`, but I honestly have to say: the theoretic part is `easy`. When you have to face some challenges is not like that. There are a lot of things that can influence your thoughts and make you feel scared or dismotivated. If you read this comment, please, share your...

I did my list.
In a nutshell, my fixed mindset is all about other people think about me or about what I do. The criticism make a lot of influence in my mindset and I use to do the mistake of think that I not able to do better. That the main thing that this course will help me to change on myself. -

Honestly I do not have words for this video! Maybe not of all of us have some great business, maybe we are not original leaders, maybe we are only ordinary people. But the only person that needs to know it is you, and me. Just go forward. You made something, be proud. Sometimes we are afraid. Who cares? If you are afraid, do anyway.

This thing blow my mind. What is very nice. I`m constantly comparing myself to the other: other people, their lives, their goods, their families, their beauty, their jobs and making the mistake of misjudging me. Many times I used to feel inferior and I truly believe that the social medias has the power of potentiality these bad effects on our brains.

I`m a impostor! And what? I can get it reversed. I feel myself much more confident. I am not judging myself so hard anymore. I am not perfect but I can do my best every second. I can learn, I can create something.
Let`s do it. -
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
This second video was actually funny and could show us that we can handle the ``demon`` of Impostor Syndrome. Imagine, if Michelle Obama, with that pile of pressure up her head could deal with it I`m a hundred per cent sure we can do it.

Score 77. I did not think how much I could have this.
At some point is very sad. Maybe I am a very talented man that can not see it. In another hand maybe I am a real fraud or just a luck person.
The important thing: what should I do with this information?
Try to do better and get to know myself even more. -
Elvis Alexandre replied to Elvis Alexandre
Don`t give up my friend. If you have the dream and if you still want it, you will get it. You will make it happens.
We are very adaptable creatures. The body can adapts itself easy to climate and situations. The main problem is you handle your mind. If you work on that, nothing can stops you. -

I just realised that I never celebrate my success! What is success? Something big or that will chance the entire world? NO.
In my case: I had the dream of live abroad. I am Brazilian and now I`m living in England. Since I came here, people say: congratulations Elvis, you made it. Why Can I not be proud of that? Why I keep sabotaging myself?
I should be proud... -

I`ve seen so many times the discrimination by gender in so many areas of my life. When people stereotype others, for example. ``Women are bad drivers``, ``Latins are the better dancers``. It does not make sense at all. I honestly believe that this kind of behaviour can contribute to the Syndrome.
Sometimes I feel like I`m not good enough for some duties at... -
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
I truly believe that perfectionist people fell guilty when they do something. Is like a paradox. No matter how perfect is their jobs, they are always looking for something wrong and than they think they are not able enough to any task.
This can be worst increased when these people have high standard parents. My dad use to always judge my choices and through... -

50/100
That is the worst part. Imagine, not everybody is a high achiever. Some people are just average people, like me, and we are not less important than others and we have this syndrome too, maybe everyday on ordinary life.
For instance: I meet a nice woman and I never feel that I can be good enough to her, even I`m knowing all my qualities. -
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
I`ve never ever thought about it. Of course, I noticed it on me so many time ad I thought that it was only ''random thoughts''. When you star learn about it you realise that it can destroy completed. I guess these high achievers suffer of these cause they are always under pressure: they have fame, an incredible IQ, so all the spot lights are aim to them. I`d...

It kind of starts on me when I moved to another country. The challenges are so hard, the solitude affects everything including the self confidence.

I truly think that syndrome does not affect only highly positions, it can affect anyone that is trying something in life.

Time! I've been working throughout my graduation. I've been graduated in Math. It was necessary a lot of time to study and I worked everyday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. My classes started at 7 p.m. It was hard days.

You should use the ideas of other to turn your work stronger. Look, if you are doing a work in some area it is necessary that you use other knowledge to implement your paper. Reference, ans ok. Go on.
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
"Quoting, paraphrasing and summarising are three main ways of integrating others’ ideas in your own academic work". It's like a habit. When you start the academic life it is hard to do this. But after some academic works it is easy to reference.

Talk each other irt is the first think to do. Organize the work. Everyone needs to work and do your best. But, if one member of the group don't wanna help does not mean that someone else also don't musto to help. In the other hand there are some people that try to control everything. Wrong! C'mon, it is a group, let's work together. Talk about the subject, the...

Nice! When you start looks eay, but at the final you have to run! Let's practice.
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Depends. Like Jana (I guess) said, if you are interested on the subject it's easier. Although there are many literatures that were wrote long time ago, and the works, like everything, change, so it's necessary a dictionarie. Also, if the test isn't your major or area it's too difficult because has a lot specific terms.
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Course! If you have a dishonestly behavior at university consequently you will be a bad person. If you don't respect you,if you don't have integrity, you gonna fail on life!
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Keep moving, studying and learning!
-
I think that the appropriate academic behavior is do your best. If you copy and past some work done you will be doing a bad think for you (because you don't gonna undeertand anything) and for the author.
It's necessary the change! Now you integrate the uni, so follow the new style. -
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Let's practice more and more!
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Good tips!
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
I think that if you wanna enhance your writing skills you have to practice, use the connectors. Try to organize your ideas and put on the paper. Practice with some phrasal verbs list with you a lot of times, then try without the list. Study and practice!

Practice is the key! Amazing!

Everything clear, and is this that I'm worried about!
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Practice the writing could be a good tip. Identify how many lines are necessary to obtain at least 150 words in the taks one and 250 words in the task two. Practice again. Try to organize your ideas in an specific topic. Pay attention. Practice again. Connecting and linking words, phrasal verbs.

All the values are important to me, of course! Not only it is base for the university but also for the life , I guess. But, the must important is trust. Trust take the fairness and the honesty stand her. All the time We have to use this bahaviors on the university. Do your best, respect your classmates and teachers, do the right thing!

Honesty, study, hard work, do your best. Both ideas are right and if we join both ideas we have the concept about what we have to follow. Let's together do our work being honest. I think that it's important you search for ideas from others researchers but the most important action and behavior is referencing the author and don't tolerate the wrong behavior.

I've never heard this, but it's easy to imagine when you listen the word "integrity". Be honest and respect each other, don't plagiarize, do your best.2. I am familiar with the values that underpin academic integrity. - Not confident.

I agree, of course. Everyone told what I feel. It's a mix of my felling. I think better write because we can organize our ideas and find the better word or phrasal verb to use it.

Audiobooks, podcasts, music (I love music), movies/series with subtitles. In my case I prefer music, because I can play the guitar, practice the letter of the music in English, enhance my listening skills and speaking skills too.

I have taken a listening test in mt English course. My advice is based on the last audios from this course. I'ts necessary pay attention and try to choose the right answer. Attention on the audio, i think it is the key.

6/10, one listening. Bad but better than the last audio. It's good to practice this. We can get nervous as a true test. I need study more.

Rob said that you only listen each section once. You have to identify different kind of conversations/questions.

I've been saw this video a little time ago. I know the schwa sound, I'm studying it and trying to identify it in a conversation. Anyway, I'm really glad for your tip and reply.
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
The questions are similar. But, I would like to know: is there a secret to turn your mind off when you are listening and trying to translate? Look, I think it's necessary translate, but sometimes it's most importante just listen and enjoy the audio to identify the words.
-
Elvis Alexandre made a comment
Right, I think the most difficult it's when the speaker are a native and talk faster, moreover the accent and the schwa sound are things that can difficult the listening when you are trying understand. It's necessary practice a lot and pay attention.
