I’d like to talk about an important text message I received from my English teacher a few months ago. She sent me a message about an upcoming IELTS mock test and gave me some useful advice about how to prepare for it. At that time, I was quite worried about my English level, especially my speaking skills in the message. She told me not to put too much pressure on myself and reminded me that making mistakes was a natural part of learning a language. She also suggested that I practice speaking everyday, even if it was only for 15 or 20 minutes. The reason she sent me the message was mainly to encourage me and make sure I was properly prepared for the mock test. I remember reading it several times because I was feeling a bit stressed about the accent. The message was particularly important to me because it changed my attitude towards my preparation. Instead of being afraid of making mistakes, I started seeing them as opportunities to improve. After that, I became more consistent with my English practice and gradually gained confidence in speaking. So also it was just a short text message, it had quite a significant impact on me. It came at exactly the right moment and reminded me to stay focused on my goal. It also made me realize that sometimes a few encouraging words can make a huge difference. Since then I have to try to follow her advice and practice English more regularly. I still remember that message because it gave me the motivation. I need it at that time.
