I have tried this but I am not sure ....plz verify this
Mark just has corrected me. I was just a little bit away....Anyhow it was a good try...
I came back yesterday. It was really wonderful trip to my country, India . I went back to India almost after one year. I enjoyed a lot during this trip. I have done so many things during this vacation. I will post one by one as I find the time.
I celebrated the Diwali festival with my family this time. Diwali is auspicious festival for Hindu families. My all relatives gathered at my home. We purchased new clothes and gold jewellery. I purchased wonderful chain with golden locket for myself. I do believe in Astrology and that’s why I did nakshatra-shanti. Also, I have put on ‘Emerald gemstone’ in my ring. It is said that Emerald makes ‘Guru’ powerful and now in my kundali Guru is powerful. (Few of you, may not understand what I am saying…)
I have purchased very nice clothes. As I can get good Jeans here in the UK , I decided to buy some nice trousers. Trousers are very cheap in India and I can get the perfect fitting.
I have cleared IELTS exam and now I am concentrating more on medical study. But still I am thinking about rejoining the Linguist. It will always good to be in touch with English. If I stay out of touch I might lost my fluency. I think I will join the Linguist in a few days.
I have done it….this time I got 7.5 band in IELTS exam which is the best. When I appeared for this exam last time in Jan I got 6.5. At that time, I got only 6 (out of 9) in speaking.
Here is the detailed mark sheet of my IELTS result….
Overall - 7.5 (all marks are out of 9)
Reading - 8.5 (I don’t think anyone will get out of out)
Listening – 8
Speaking – 7
Writing – 7
In Jan, I got fewer bands in speaking and writing (6 each). Then I joined the Linguist and after studying hard at the linguist now I have achieved my goal. This exam is really very tough in a sense that it includes all the aspects of English and time span for exam is very short.
I really want to thanks to all the tutors of the linguist. I personally want to thanks Steve (for creating such an efficient and wonderful method of language learning), Jill (she is my group discussion tutor) and Tracy (for correcting my writings).
I still remember my initial days when I was very nervous about my English. Then I got really good support from the Linguist team and they’ve always encouraged me to do better. I want to say thanks to Tony (he has always supported and encouraged me even though we never got chance to speak with each other), to Tana and Ruth (my group member).
I am really happy today and I want to celebrate it with all you guys……Cheers!!!!!!

After spending some time I have prepared a linguist vox community blogroll at my Linguivocal blog. When you scroll down the left sidebar of my Linguivocal blog, you can find this blogroll. I have added our active blogs in this blogroll. If anybody wants html (and if your blog allows adding html in the sidebar) then I would love to share it with you.
