Being a Student

Congratulations on … all your exams!

No one likes … an exam. I hope she will do better next time.

When are you … your English exam, in May or June?

Maria is … her English exam so hard, she doesn’t go out at all!

Do you think it is possible to … everything that we have studied 

during the year in two days before the exam?

My friend has a very good memory, she can … a long poem easily.

If you want to master foreign pronunciation, you should have enough 

patience to … phrases after the tape for many times in a row.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t … the list of irregular 

verbs the teacher gave in class.

Where does your friend …? — He does an English course at university.

It has always been easy for Jack to … foreign languages

Peter … several foreign languages and his dream is to work as a

tour guide.

It is always very interesting for me to … about the culture of the 

country the language of which I study.

If it ______ (stop) raining, we’ll go for a walk.

If you ______ (have) more money, what would you buy?

If I ______ (be) you, I would talk to the teacher.

If she ______ (study) harder, she will pass the exam.

If they ______ (not help) us, we would have failed the project.

Read the student’s presentation on learning styles and do the tests.

Right, well, my talk today is on learning styles. I chose this because there is a lot of research into it and it seems as if nobody really agrees on how to assess learning styles. I’ll start by outlining some competing theories about.

How people learn… There aren’t any handouts, I’m afraid, but anyway… One theory is the VARK system. V-A-R-K means V for visual, A for auditory, Reading 4 a) Read the student’s presentation on learning styles and complete the form below. like hearing, R for readingand K for, I don’t know how to pronounce this… kinaesthetic? Yes, that’s it. Kinaesthetic. That means things like touch, movement and stuff. Anyway, according to the VARK system, depending on your learning style, you learn in different ways. If you’re a visual learner, then you need to use charts and pictures, use colour highlighting in your notes, and stuff. If you’re an auditory learner, then reading aloud and listening will help you learn. Reading is just reading, of course. You learn by reading. Kinaesthetic learners need to move around while they learn. You’re a kind of hands-on person if you’re that kind of a learner, so you should revise while standing up and walking around the room, for example. Anyway, that’s just one theory. There are lots of others, too.

So, to conclude then, personally I think that we all have our own learning styles and we are not just one type or another. In other words, we are probably a blend of lots of styles. I don’t thinkany of the learning styles I’ve told you about is better than any other. I think the problem is that we all learn in different ways, and try to fi nd a system to fi t in all the different ways we learn. We are too creative to be boxed in like that. Not everything about the human brain can be mapped and predicted. How we learn is different for each person, so the point I’m making is I don’t know how usefulit is to try to categorise everyone into types.

What does the speaker think about the VARK system?

According to the VARK theory, how do visual learners study best?
