Upgrading my language

I did some mock test about IELTS from BBC site. I found that my english level stil not so good. At averages. At this time I feel so hard to upgrade my english level because i feel so comfortable to speak with my native language. I have a strong desire to enhance my english capability. May be it is better to me to follow english course like IELTS Preparation Course. BBC website is a good website to upgrade my skill in language as it provides resources for languange skills like reading, speaking, listening and writing. I did the test yesterday but only about half of the test item correct!. I have a friend teach english here at my place. but he do not always speak english with other people. fluently speak indonesian. i suppose he have a good english structure but no in speaking. When I have an english course at udayana university, one of my tutor is a staff of english laboratory who can speak fluently and have a good listening skill as he study english at australia for a moment. to achieve a good level in english probably i will take an english course from ADP or something like that.

my friend a linguistic expert from prominent catholic university in Indonesia got a chance to travel around the world for conferences. she went to turkey this week. like my colleagues from my almamater went to one of asean country as a speaker for a call for paper conference. I think to myself. now with the aid from information and communication technology we can build our capacities as big as we can. think globally act locally as a proverb told.

as a proverb said that we must remember that we stand at a community with certain common shared values and social norms, we must also aware about international issues like climate change, global economic equality gap, politic, shortages of natural resources and so on. Both my friend have a strong will to develop their capability by attending conferences as speaker or attender. i am sure that they both found cultural gap between nation as they came across country. But i think we people have a common shared attitude that respected by people all around the world. We people all around the world like kind people.

Sometimes we must focus with our aim, even people look it like a selfish
