Congrats! 恭喜William羅同學托福考試一次破百,讓我們相互鼓勵並繼續努力!

去年William有寫信跟教練說了出分結果,結果教練回信徵求上傳意願,email卻被埋在廣告信裡面沒被看見,所以一直到這兩天才再度收到William的回信。 第一 次考試成績就能破百確實壓力全消,因為好多同學為了成績能達標得一直重考,過程的艱苦與煩悶教練都明白。羅同學幾天前來信告知已經申請到第二志願去新加坡大學交換學生。教練在此鼓勵大家堅持努力,不要鬆懈。 托福不是考前準備一下就好的考試,臨時抱佛腳絕對沒有幫助 , 必須得天天持續、紮實精讀才行。 歡迎同學來信給教練,分享準備心得(不一定要破百才來信感謝,也不用感謝教練啊,畢竟這是我的工作)。同學Beatrice之前分享的托福寫作項目心得與準備過程已經成了部落格熱門點選了,所以大家互相鼓勵打氣絕對有正面效果。大家別忘了報分數之餘,也分享準備的過程。教練祝大家考試順利,2017年都能進入理想的學校繼續求學之路。
