That was the blog that was
Ah well
I wasn't expecting very much and so it proved. Only four students came last night to finish off the course - the serious ones.
We'll keep the weblog going until I start a new one for the 3 June course that I will be starting (oh dear, just before the FIFA World Cup!)
As you can see, football has been taking up a fair bit of my attention recently. I've been ready to respond to IELTS queries and postings, but nothing has materialised from the I-drive weblog (I doubt that anything of note will come up in the next few days.)
So I'll leave you now, the lack of comments / posts / initiative are a bit sad, but there you go.

The chief recommendations last night were for:
- four week Pre-IELTS courses (3 x 3 hour lessons per week)
- grammar mistakes to be corrected (on an IELTS preparation course?)
- taking General English courses in the future to build up vocab / skills
- learning 10 key words every lesson
- building up a core Vocabulary - having a list of important words
Have we forgotten anything?
How about getting that orange Macmillan dictionary:
"Macmillan ESSENTIAL Dictionary" (International Student Edition)
ISBN: 140501427X + website www.macmillandictionary.com
Go and ask the Al Mutanabbi Bookshop why they don't have it in stock - speak to Mubarek in the Medinat Zayed Al Mutanabbi Bookshop (behind HSBC Bank) on: (02) 634 0319. If they don't have it, then COMPLAIN!
That's all from me, I'll leave you alone now!

Thank you, my faithful friend!
Oh that recent classes had a fraction of your endeavour and hunger for self-improvement, ya Doctor Rashid!
All the very best, let's see how the new bunch of IELTS learners (FULL Intermediate standard/Band 7.0 targeting) starting on 3 June turn out.
Best regards, it's great to see that you are still interested in my humble IELTS classes!

Hi Kamal
Sure, use any dictionary that helps you. I personally like the Macmillan Essential Dictionary, that is not to say that the Longman or Oxford one is NOT recommended.
Thanks for the website reference.
