❌ ĐỪNG BỎ QUA BÀI CHIA SẺ NÀY ❌

Hi guys, Looking back on my cyclical journey approaching IELTS FIGHTER as a teacher, I would say that success is impossible to be achieved if we merely do everything at a superficial level.

My advice to the prospective candidates who are going to take IELTS is simple: surround yourself with as much academic level English as possible, on a regular basis, especially in the 2-3 months preceding the actual exam.

For this, I always recommend my students (and do it myself, ‘walk the talk’, so to say) to watch 15-25-minute TED talks or BBC 6-minute English on the topics found in IELTS, for instance, Education, Environment, Technology, Health, etc.

Then, during the class, I give students the opportunity to report on the talk of their choice, highlighting the academic-level vocabulary and identifying the key ideas. In this way, TED and BBC give us a powerful foundation, and allows practicing reading (in the form of easily available transcripts), listening (to a variety of accents) and speaking. Furthermore, you can also combine all these activities with an engaging follow-up writing task, choosing the essay which is aligned with the topic of the TED talk or the BBC 6-minute English video.

The reason I am such a strong adherent of TED and BBC is because I believe in the value of fundamental exploration of a topic, its key vocabulary, ideas before we start putting anything down on paper.

Reading newspaper materials, watching TED talks, listening to podcasts on major media websites – all this should create the foundation (through passive language practice) for the productive stage, that is, speaking and writing on a given topic. Of course, all this should be done concurrently with doing practice tests (reading and listening, in particular) regularly as this is also a must on your way to success. In Vietnam, there is a good expression for that, which can roughly be translated as “hitting your hand” in an activity, it means to become so experienced and used to it that your hands do it almost automatically.

So, you should ‘hit’ numerous practice tests to acquire that inner feeling of confidence and composure that will serve you well during the exam. Just don’t forget to keep track of your progress, marking the scores every time you do a test. Later, as you look back at your notes, you will see the increase in the number of the correct answers, as well as the impressive amount of testing completed, which will be an additional boost and motivator before the exam.

I hope aspiring IELTS FIGHTERS will find my advice helpful and will benefit from it! NEVER GIVE UP!

Xin chào các IELTS FIGHTERS của cô,

Lời khuyên của cô dành cho các bạn đang có dự định thi Ielts hết sức đơn giản thôi, đó là, hãy ăn, ngủ, tắm và thậm chí là “ấy” (:D) với tiếng anh học thuật, đặc biệt là khi nước đã đến cổ (2-3 tháng trước ngày thi).

Cô luôn nhắc nhở và khuyến khích học viên của cô xem các video của TED talks hay BBC 6-minute English về các chủ đề “ám ảnh” chúng ta trong ielts, ví dụ như, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, TECHNOLOGY, HEALTH ,...Trên lớp, cô thường dành thời gian và cơ hội cho học sinh của cô thoải mái bàn luận về các vấn đề đang hót hòn họt tại thời điểm đó hoặc được chọn một chủ đề mình thích và thuyết trình trước lớp (prepared in advance), sau đó thì nêu ra các “academic-level vocabulary” để cả lớp cùng ngâm cứu.

Còn nếu tự luyện tập, chúng mình hãy note lại từ vựng và sau đó "implement into practice", bằng cách áp dụng vào Speaking (chủ yếu là PART 3) và Writing TASK 2 về các chủ đề tương ứng ngay và luôn. Về mặt này, TED và BBC 6-minute English thực sự rất hữu ích khi cung cấp cho chúng ta cả transcript để mình có thể luyện Reading nữa đó. Vậy là với TED và BBC 6-minute English, chúng ta có thể luyện được Listening, Reading, Speaking và cả Writing bằng cách sử dụng các từ vựng đã học luôn nè!!! Amazing, right?!!!

Lý do vì sao cô tin tưởng TED và BBC 6-minute English đến vậy là vì giá trị của những kiến thức những video này mang lại, rồi các từ vựng chuyên ngành thuộc đa dạng các chủ đề trong Ielts ở trong từng video nữa, phải “may túi ba gang mang đi mà đựng" luôn ấy. Nhưng vì nhiều, nên mọi người chọn lọc những TOPIC WORDS thôi nhé, kẻo lại "lợi 49 hại 54" đó :D

Bên cạnh đó, việc các bạn rèn cho bản thân một thói quen đọc tin tức hằng ngày, xem Ted talks, nghe các bản tin hoặc các Youtuber với American và British accent nói về các chủ đề mà các bạn hứng thú đồng nghĩa với việc các bạn đang đặt những viên gạch để xây nên một nền móng thật vững chắc qua 2 kỹ năng ngôn ngữ thụ động, nghe và đọc, làm tiền đề cho 2 kỹ năng ngôn ngữ chủ động, nói và viết.

Nếu muốn nghe American accent mà hay ho, vui vẻ, cười thả ga thì các bạn có thể cân nhắc:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8v4vz_n2rys6Yxpj8LuOBA (Cho những ai yêu MAKEUP :P)

Còn dĩ nhiên, IELTS bắt nguồn từ UK mà, cho nên các bạn BẮT BUỘC phải nghe, xem nhiều để quen với British accent. Trước hết là từ phim ảnh:

Phim GAME OF THRONES

Những bộ phim khác trên Netflix như: The end of the f*** word, S*x education, Wanderlust, Mirror, Sherlock,...

Các show:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9HGzFGt7BLmWDqooUbWGBg (Cho những ai yêu ZAI đẹp mà dẻo mỏ :P)

Tạm thời như vậy đã nha mọi người!!!

Đương nhiên, bên cạnh các “món ăn” thì chúng ta luôn phải ăn “cơm”. Và “cơm” ở đây chính là các bài ielts practice tests (cụ thể là nghe và đọc). PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

Tuy nhiên, hãy CHỮA test thật là có tâm nha, đừng chỉ soi đáp và chốt điểm nhé, đặc biệt là Reading và Listening. Trăm hay không bằng tay quen các bạn ạ, hãy luyện tập thật nhiều để biến kiến thức trở thành kỹ năng, biến Tiếng Anh trở thành hơi thở nhé! Hãy nghiêm khắc với bản thân, bấm giờ, chấm điểm, ghi lại và theo dõi quá trình của mình. Các bạn sẽ ngạc nhiên với sự tiến bộ của chính mình.

Cô hy vọng những chia sẻ của cô phần nào giúp các bạn vững tin hơn và sẵn sàng chinh phục IELTS nhé!

再來聊聊施打MMR疫苗跟懷孕

這兩年由於許多國家陸續有傳出麻疹及德國麻疹疫情的關係
因此也增加了許多施打MMR疫苗之後懷孕的機會與詢問

記得之前已經跟大家分享過好幾次了
先看這一篇👇👇👇👇

今天來聊聊孕期德國麻疹抗體及疫苗接種
https://drsu.blog/2018/09/26/super180926/

根據美國疾病管制與預防中心 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)所公布根據的來自美國疫苗接種諮詢委員會Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)的臨床準則：

MMR疫苗於懷孕期間之接種不應該被當作考慮終止妊娠的理由
在接種疫苗前也不需要特別做懷孕測試

但我相信
很多人還是會擔心這個問題
現在
我的老友
施景中醫師也出來說話嘍

感恩施P讚嘆施P

很遺憾的
不斷地還是會有孕媽咪來問我
不論是來門診或是傳訊息
常常起手式就是
某某醫師跟我說這樣不能留下來耶要叫我考慮終止妊娠

這樣說好了
在現在的醫療氛圍之下
醫師告訴媽媽這種情況還是有疑慮有可能有風險
對醫師是最安全的作法
省得哪天小孩有什麼問題來找醫師麻煩要醫師給個交代

你知道的
一旦有人跟你說有問題
然後我要跟你說沒關係的時候我必須要花上十倍的力氣
重點是
你還不一定願意聽我的

印象很深刻
有一個媽咪眉頭深鎖的來門診
就問了這樣的問題
蘇醫師蘇醫師
某某醫師告訴我這有風險建議我引產耶
即便
我花了10幾分鐘的時間跟她解釋

最後
她回答了

歐
我懂
但是
我還是拿掉好了

你
能夠了解我的感受嗎？

恩恩
就盡力吧
我們還是會堅持做下去的

新同學看一下

[MMR三合一疫苗 與 懷孕]

現在日本麻疹疫情有點蔓延，許多育齡婦女打了疫苗，卻又剛好懷孕了，怎麼辦? MMR疫苗的R代表"德國麻疹"，是會引起先天異常的病原"TORCH"中的R，惡名昭彰。

許多孕婦和醫師討論後，會選擇把小孩引產。

===========================
一念可以為善；或，也可以無意中挽救了一個小生命。

底下這個孕婦，16年前不知道懷孕而打了MMR疫苗，在忒忑不安中，經人介紹找到了我。

小孩後來出生了，現在是一個漂亮的混血小女生，笑容非常燦爛可愛。

當年的我，其實一點不像這個媽媽寫的，是個權威醫師，那時我當主治醫師才第5年吧，其實還很嫩。

總之我的一念之仁，間接幫助了這個媽媽保住了這個小孩。我也沒想到我的幾句話，可以給她這麼大的信心。

媽媽是一個非常感性的人，像電影的台詞般:「I would risk my life and everything to save her.」

因為女兒可以說就是她生命的一部份。

她文字很感人，我也深深感動，幾天前收到這信，得到她同意分享。希望多幫助一些人。

==============================
施醫師您好,

我是XXX的媽媽，她是16年前您的專業判斷救下來的孩子。八年前我們全家搬到美國德州，一直沒有機會向您道謝。我在六年前潦草地寫下這文，今天是美國時間XX的十六歲生日，我想將此文貼在此向您說謝謝，並附上她的照片，邀您一起分享我們的喜悅。

-------------------------------------------
10年前的某一天，我一個人坐在空盪盪的候診室，一手拿著醫生的名片，一手握著手機等待先生接起應答，先生問結果如何，我已經淚流滿面話不成句，看著醫生的名片，想要理智地告訴A醫生的建議是拿掉孩子，但我說不出口，把醫生的建議翻譯成問句，我們該怎麼辦? 這個孩子又能怎麼辦?

想起自己的粗心，在懷上孩子的那一個月，為了申請綠卡打了MMR疫苗，接著到秀姑巒溪泛舟，完全不知道肚子裡有個生命正在蘊育…直到有天出外景，看到食物就想吐，攝影師一句開玩笑: 「妳是不是懷孕了?」我才驚覺有可能，回程停在便利商店買了支驗孕棒，是藍色，但不是十分確定，那一晚無法入眠，不知為什麼非常焦躁。

第二天到婦產科,做了超音波檢查,胎兒已經五個禮拜大，一顆像粉圓般大小的小生命，有了心跳，我又驚又喜，接著向醫生詢問懷孕期間打了MMR疫苗有沒有影響。醫生先是責怪為什麼如此不小心，接著向我解釋醫學界有個說法，MMR疫苗有可能會生出不正常的孩子，要有心裡準備，但他建議為了免於接下來九個月的憂慮，還是建議拿掉孩子，不然等到10週以後再拿掉，對母體也會有影響，然後遞給我一張名片要我考慮。

在接下來的幾週，先生和我不斷上網找資料，想找到不必拿掉孩子的醫學論證，他找到一篇英文的醫學報告，說MMR疫苗99%不會威脅胎兒。先生寫了信給他在台大醫院遺傳學部門任職的朋友，他推薦一位學長，是台大婦產科的權威醫師(後來看報才知道)，他看了先生拿出來的報告說，不是99%、是100%不會有問題,然後解釋大家如何誤解MMR疫苗與病毒strain的差異。很快安排我們到超音波室，檢查胎兒的活動情形，看起來很好。他說疫苗不會有問題，有其他問題再來找我! 就這樣很有信心地離開診間，但一則醫學報告加一位專業醫師的說法，雖然增強了信心，但心裡還是不免擔心，萬一…

總之，後來先生和我決定不管孩子生出來如何，我們都要面對，我個人對肚裡的孩子已經有無法言喻的歉疚。這個孩子讓我成為一個母親，讓我先生成為一個爸爸。這個孩子讓我體驗到生命本身如此令人驚奇!

孩子從產道半推半拉出來後，沒有哭聲，身體全身發紫，那一刻我連呼吸都很謹慎，那一刻真的一點聲音都沒有，先生和我都屏息，一切好像都在真空狀態，護士不斷拍手孩子的屁股。不知道過了多久，孩子哭了，哭得好大聲，我先生再也無法站，頓時蹲下掉下開心的眼淚。我不知道什麼時候開始哭，只知道我的眼淚是熱的，而那哭聲就像天使的哭聲，那麼清脆有力，那麼好聽。那個孩子就是現在的XX，我要盡我所能愛這個孩子，保護這個孩子!

女兒的出生,要感謝這過程中的很多人，讓這個天使有機會來到人間，帶給我們這麼多的酸甜苦樂，這一路我們都在學習，即便是現在。孩子十歲了，人生的試煉沒有間斷，對孩子對我們來說都是!但我感謝,非常感謝她的到來。雖然她的到來，改變了人生裡的很多計畫，但我身為一個母親,從來沒有後悔。女兒，不管妳現在或將來會如何，爸爸媽媽對妳的愛從來沒有改變，也沒有因為妹妹的加入而有稍減…..不管發生什麼事，妳的家人都是妳最強的依靠。看著妳成長就是身為媽媽的我最大的成就,最大的樂趣。

女兒，生日快樂!
媽媽不知如何停止愛妳,從妳還是小粉圓的時候…..

===========================

其實我門診還有其他類似孕婦，也還在懷孕中呢。

根據大規模文獻，目前沒有孕婦因為注射MMR疫苗而引起先天德國麻疹症候群(CRS)。根據研究，引起CRS的viral strain，也和疫苗的viral strain不同。

停一下，妳還可以再想一想。

From website literature

"Very large measles-rubella vaccination campaigns, run between 2001 and 2008, have targeted women of child-bearing age in South America and Iran [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Comprehensive, prospective surveillance of pregnant women during these campaigns has provided further substantial evidence of the safety of measles and rubella containing vaccines in pregnancy.
During these campaigns over 30,000 pregnant women inadvertently received MR vaccine. The vaccine had been given either during pregnancy (the majority were less than 12 weeks pregnant) or up to 30 days before these women had conceived.

In the above studies about 3000 women were susceptible to rubella, meaning they were not already immune and so at potential risk of the virus passing to the baby. Extensive follow-up of the outcome of these pregnancies was very reassuring. Whilst a very small number of babies were shown to have been exposed to the weakened vaccine virus in the womb, no babies developed Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS)."

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

I am absolutely livid right now. It's not OK to use intellectual property without permission. It's not OK to use people's life stories without permission. And it's DEFINITELY not OK to get people to play someone without their permission.

Here's the run-down:

A while back, a group who was part of the Creator Collective - Asia programme contacted me. They said that they wanted to use my story as Singapore's First Mermaid to create a video and "headline a pitch to Singapore Tourism Board. STB is looking for ideas for a campaign to get Singaporeans to buy into the latest tagline for their campaign, "Passion made Possible". They said that "this is a pitch video to STB, it will be very short and it won't be broadcast or made public... We get real clients like Lazada, Chan Brothers etc, and my group has Singapore Tourism Board as a client."
STB was unaware of these micro-happenings and is not at fault.

I sent them some underwater footage taken of me by myself and my contacts, as a sample for what filming underwater with me would look like.

Based on this knowledge that it was a pitch to STB and the impression the contact gave that it was an official pitch and prospective job, I agreed to meet up with them to find out more about the project.

It was only when I met them in person that the group clarified that this "pitch" was part of a campaign simulation competition held for all the Creator Collective groups, and was a student initiative.

I was unable to commit to the project and didn't hear back from the group again.

... Fast forward to today, when I realized with a shock that the group went ahead to produce their final presentation video using my story. Using my underwater videos, my IP. They had also taken some videos about me from YouTube - the video IP for these lay with other news companies who hadn't given permission either. Note that I'd not heard anything from the group in ages and had not in any way been informed that they were going ahead with my story. Neither had I given permission for my mermaiding videos to be used. None of the videos were credited to me, giving the impression that the group had filmed the underwater sequences themselves and that the impersonator (read on) was really me.
[/edit: we've realized that the group also snagged and ripped some videos of myself and the Singapore Mermaid School and our clients off YouTube. This means that 1) not only are there multiple infractions because all those people were featured in the group's presentation without knowledge or consent, but also that 2) Channel NewsAsia 's intellectual property has been similarly compromised, as one of the clips was created and published by them as a feature on us]

To top that all off - they roped in a random person to impersonate me in a faux-interview. She appears in the video subtitled and credited as me: "Cara/Syrena: Founder of the Singapore Mermaid School". Artistic liberties were also taken with my life story: e.g I have never lived by the ocean.

The real kicker? Using this video about my life story, my IP, and my abused, misrepresented image, this project was presented to STB (an organization I had hoped to work with in the future) and bagged the group 1st Prize in this year's Creator Collective competition and a $7000 grant cheque to fund their future projects.

Adding to all that, this has since been published on:

- YouTube (since taken down, but not before it garnered views)
- Instagram
- major news sites such as Straits Times
- Business Times + Business Times' Twitter
- and in print newspapers.

Here is the link to an album containing all of the evidence: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18auehI29f_bm5YCBU-YkrxC2A4Wh7h9q
We cropped out their IG usernames and blurred their eyes because I can't help being nice.

There might be other media outlets running the story of the win that I'm not aware of as well.

Call it a miscommunication all you want, but 1) to use someone's life story without permission 2) to use someone's IP without permission 3) to impersonate/allow impersonation without permission or a disclaimer is wrong in all books.

I'm not usually a confrontational person. I don't enjoy drama. But on the behest of the people in my life who have all supported me and journeyed with me through this hard-earned career, I have to speak out. To defend my name. My reputation. This brand I've built from the bottom up over years. My image, which I've honed to the standard of excellence that myself, my school, and my mermaids are known for locally and internationally.

I hope that the right people see this, and do the right things to correct this wrong. This shouldn't have happened.

UPDATE 1: I have posted a video to my page talking about recent updates.

UPDATE 2: Article posted by Rice Media, detailing both sides of the story. A highly detailed account - read it and decide for yourself what to think of all this. http://ricemedia.co/current-affairs-features-students-stole-work-impersonated-me-won-7000/

UPDATE 3: CC has finally connected me with STB. Her email, however, continues to victim blame. She also has attempted to change tack to claim that the phone call and request to silence my post was her own personal request. This is false. She made it extremely clear in 2 separate phonecall occasions to myself and my business partner that 1) STB had complained to CC that my post presents STB in a bad light and 2) It was STB who had told CC to tell me to take my post down.

UPDATE 4: I responded with an email addressing the victim blaming and the continued allegations CC/BNM continues to make.
I said that although I have considerable legal grounds, I want to give the groups a chance to voluntarily make reparations. I simply asked for 2 official public apologies: one by CC/BNM and one by Magnificent 7.
I also clearly stated that these 2 apologies would have to be vetted by me before circulation. (lest the 2 parties miss out or misrepresent certain events and clauses)

UPDATE 5 (MAJOR): STB replied this email, stating that they treat IP theft and impersonation very seriously. They also stated that they did NOT complain about my post to Joanne of CC/BNM, and never contacted her to tell me to take my post down.

UPDATE 6 (MAJOR) : I have received word from a reporter contacting me for my side of the story, that CC has gone ahead to issue an official statement cum press release focusing on winner disqualification.
Note that it's been radio silence from them to me.

UPDATE 7: I have posted my final statement on my page.

For first-time viewers, welcome. This video's title was designed to be clickbaity to try to reach as many people as possible, but I hope that it provides some information for prospective customers out there who are interested in the services of Kumon.

For my subscribers, I wanted to give you a taste of my real job. I work at Kumon, an educationally-oriented, international company that hails from Japan, and have been involved in my parents' center(s), both as a student and now as a "Teaching Assistant," since I was five years old.
