Temat: How do you practice your English this autumn - a Q to...
Lidia K.:
WOW, Michał! So you really are a student at uni;)
I thought you were some high-class specialist or diplomat hiding from the common people...
Lidia, I'd rather you stop making fun of me please.
So if you don't mind me asking what is your major if English is only a side activity???
Starting from October, I will study 'the guts' of our Mother Earth.
Have you got any certificates?
No, I haven't. I am going to fight for one (more important than all those FC's etc)in January next year.
Why aren't you exempt from the
English course at uni with this level of English? It's a waste of everybody's time, isn't it?
Yes, it is, especially so when your teacher pronounces e.g 'develop' as ['develop] or 'counterfeit' as [kaunte'faight] and never cares whether there's a long or short vowel, etc.
Besides, most English teachers I have had were just boring as people.Please do not misunderstand me - I do not mean that I am a fascinating person, but one would naturally expect teachers to know a bit more than I do, especially at university.
I have to attend the course because 1. I haven't got any certificate, 2. All such students have to take their B2 English exam.
