[FONT=&quot]The workshop attracted many students and even lecturers from a wide range of universities[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In [/FONT][FONT=&quot]the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]first 10 minutes of the workshop, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]our[/FONT][FONT=&quot] graceful MC [/FONT][FONT=&quot]([/FONT][FONT=&quot]Dieu Anh[/FONT][FONT=&quot])[/FONT][FONT=&quot] guided everybody to play an interesting game named “[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Pictures[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Talk” which helped [/FONT][FONT=&quot]attendants[/FONT][FONT=&quot] memorize and build[/FONT][FONT=&quot] up a larger idiomatic vocabulary[/FONT][FONT=&quot]. It was supposed to be [/FONT][FONT=&quot]a [/FONT][FONT=&quot]difficult game but [/FONT][FONT=&quot]to the organizers’ surprise[/FONT][FONT=&quot], a lot of participants joined the game,[/FONT][FONT=&quot]answered correctly all the questions and received [/FONT][FONT=&quot]fancy [/FONT][FONT=&quot]gifts from Galec and GLN[/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the main part of the workshop, two invited guests had presentation on their own field. The first [/FONT][FONT=&quot]speaker[/FONT][FONT=&quot]was[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Ms[/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Contessa, a professional, successful and well–known teacher guiding many students in the IELTS test with high score up to 8.0. She started her presentation by explaining the abbreviation “IELTS” and the process of an official IETLS test. Then, she emphasized on a lot of useful tips for each part of the IELTS test: “Don’t be surprised if you hear a range of accents and dialects as IELTS is an international test”; “Don’t concentrate on words you don’t know”….[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Time management is very important and you should organize your essays well before writing.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]A beautiful girl with really expressive voice [/FONT][FONT=&quot]was[/FONT][FONT=&quot] the second guest of the workshop. She is Hanh Lien, a very good student, who achieved 7.5 IELTS score in total and 9.0 for the reading part. Lien shared a lot of useful tips and practical situations that she experienced in her two times taking the IELTS test. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After the inspiring presentations of the two guest speakers, Q&A part played its role successfully in everyone’s eagerness. A lot of students asked Ms Contessa and Hanh Lien questions related to 4 parts of the IELTS test, the difficulties they usually meet and the tips for each challenge. Namely: “In Reading Part, how to scan effectively? How to find key words?”; “how to learn and remember academic words?”….[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The workshop ended with the most intriguing part “IETLS speaking Mock Test”. In this part, there would be some participants chosen by their volunteer to take the brief speaking test with Ms. Contessa. Everybody seemed so excited about this part and lots of hands were up. However, there were just three lucky students chosen to come on the stage because of the time limit. They all were nervous at the first moment. As the time went on, they were more confident and gave Ms Contessa and others many impressions. [/FONT]
