I though babycat's English is too good to be an oversea student . I have met or seen oversea student who are very smart with a university degree being studying English for 2 years and still couldn't write like babycat . But they manage to get a job that pays $35 per hour . I had doubt that's she is an oversea student . I think babycat is local a gay guy who got nothing to do but are having fun writing fake stories .
*passes the popcorn*
Sounds like you know that for a fact ? Of course you would .
And what does that say about you and all those other trolls when you spent even more times watching my every moves, read and digest everything I ever posted in the forum looking for any opportunity to attack and bully ?
Get a life !
Thanks for your compliment about my writing. Uni stuff did help me to improve that skill much. You have no idea how lucky you are when English is your first language. But English is my second/ foreign language and I'm struggling with communications everyday.
There are four skills of language: writing, reading, listening and speaking. And my weaknesses are speaking and listening, unfortunately due to the fact that I'm an internal person and the education system of English in my country. Our education structure focuses mainly on grammar which is good for academic writing, but not on listening and pronunciation. That can be illustrated by researches about Asian students' performances in IELTS: higher band score in writing and reading. I think my writing is not bad as first, I have ideas to write about. Second, I have time to look up vocabularies and check grammar. Sometimes I look up a particular word in my language, then look up again in English to make sure that I use it properly. But it's hard to use dictionary while talking, lol.
Have to admit that my speaking and listening skills are bad and if you guys ask me "Pardon?" I will be panic. I'm frustrated while speaking. Of course I have to overcome my fear of giving speeches and communicating, not seek for people' sympathetic if I stay here as no one can help me if I don't try. I remember the first time I went to Vodafone shop for phone contract, after my explaining, the staff told me without giving me a look: go home and bring anyone who can speak better English here to talk to me! That's hurt, right? It's much better now but at the beginning, it was so terrible. I sent approximately 3-5 emails per day to apply for job on Gumtree, but most of Oz restaurants/cafeteria ask staff to be able to carry 3 plates at the same time which is too heavy for me.
Improving speaking and listening requires lots of practices but I'm kind of internal person, and don't want to disturb or bother people. At work, I let my clients rest and relax unless they eager to talk to me.
Anyway, your information encouraged me that I can take a job with better pay. It really brought me hopes.
DRAG Queen Fantasy.. like it!
Any staff member in my team spending countless hours spamming sex forums with dick pix, weather updates, sporting events and celebrity gossip during working hours is begging for an instant dismissal.
I have worked in Asia and alot of my ex colleagues have very decent English but are extremely poor in speaking.
