Relaxing Sounds

    We are all trapped in our apartments nowadays. Sometimes we don't have any time to open our window and take a deep breath. The  relaxing sound videos I have listed below may help you relaxing when you feel under pressure while studying. You can both study and listen to these sounds at the same time. I hope they'll help :


1.Sounds of birds
2.Zen Garden
3.Native American Indian Spirit
4.Rain Sound
5.Wave Sounds


And here is an additional one for you if you have problems with sleeping after a long and stressful day : 


**"Forest Stream"

How to study for long hours?

Once upon a time

If you are a fan of fairy tales, I strongly recommend you to watch the tv series named : "Once upon a time". This will both enhance your listening skills and vocabulary by means of exposure to authentic language use.


"Centers on a woman with a troubled past who is drawn into a small town in Maine where the magic and mystery of Fairy Tales just may be real."

Results Announcement

Here you can find your results for the practice test which was applied on 24th of April. As I have mentioned previously, your names are not mentioned and you were given number id's instead of them. On our next lesson I will tell you what your id is (individually, of course!). After getting your id's you can have a look at this list :

Test yourself to get the best of yourself!

    You know that from time to time we have some examinations in our classrooms just to prepare you for the real deal. Eventhough I am sure that you are studying as much as you can for the LYS-5 exam, I would like you to check this practice test which I have found on an online blog owned by one of my colleagues. Try to complete it by yourself. There is an additional page attached to the exam, which includes the answers, try to keep yourself looking at it before you complete. You can download the exam to your computers from the link below :


Practice Test (100 Questions)

About today's examination!

It was clear that a big majority of you have tried to their best. Thank you all. I'm really glad to see that even if you were not obliged to do so , you acted responsibly. I hope your efforts will pay off.  


PS : I've been trying to figure out a way to announce your results on this page without making everyone else able to see it. I'm working on it. Perhaps I may give you personal number id's , so you can check your results attached to your number and if you do not like anyone else to know your result than you simply do not share it with anyone. I guess I have figured it out, ha! :)

Welcome!

        This blog has been created for the use of my English language learners. The announcements about the changes in the date or time of our lessons will be added here.
