Learning English

My goal in writing posts under this Label (Learning English),since I cannot make a separate Page for it, is to gather helpful online resources that:

A Evaluate
1.)evaluate the level of English of the students who want to continue practicing English
2.)diagnostics for those who are just beginning to learn English as their second language.
3.)tools to evaluate learning after taking a certain course.

Evaluation is very important.It can help in determining the level of understanding and the materials or methodologies that need to be employed to aid learning.I believe that it will also help to motivate the learner.

B Guide
1.Provide links,resources of helpful tips based on evaluation results

My Favorite sites for level tests are the following:

1.Exam English   Free Practice Tests for learners of English

You have two level tests options: the Grammar & vocabulary level test and Listening level test. After getting your result,you can check to see what grammar you should know at each level.It's very useful because you'll know what to focus on in your English lessons.

2. ABAEnglish.com - Your  online English course for real life

This is a great website for learning English in your own pace through video classes,short movies,exercises and pronunciation practice using their LRC (Listen ,record and compare) speech recognition technology. Registration is free but to get full access of their tools you have to upgrade to Premium subscription. I had tried the free lessons and it was great! I didn't hear my voice though, during the playback of my recording,but I didn't bother to look into it anymore.

Photo Essay:My First Fun Run

It's my first ever fun run and it was really fun though I felt really tired and I got achy arms and abdomen more than achy legs.It was organized by Raquel Pawnshop Inc. which is also new to this kind of event as it was their first as well.I didn't stay around for the rest of the program after the run because it was a Sunday and we had to prepare for the Worship Service.I wished I had returned though after I had prepared,because there were freebies and a raffle draw LOL.




Photo Essay:Happy Birthday at Hapee Wee

We went to Hapee Wee Dimsum House along Quezon Avenue after the worship service to celebrate Andrew's birthday. There were 20 of us and the crew thought that we were gonna do networking stuff,but he could have asked it the good way instead of sounding like he didn't want to accommodate us LOL. I'm not surprised with this kind of treatment to customers here in Lucena. After about 2 years of living here, I have encountered annoyed service crews from Buddy's Restaurant to smaller eateries,its like hospitality is not an innate nature of people here.Well maybe it's just me because I don't look like a wealthy person,but then again I'm also a customer and I pay for my orders.
