Kentaro's Successful IELTS Guarantee 6.5 Training

Kentaro's journey to English mastery through the rigorous 12-week IELTS Guarantee 6.5 program at Pines Academy IELTS Campus is fruitful. During our brief but fulfilling conversation, we learned that he strategically decided to study IELTS in the Philippines as he wants to immerse himself in using the English language daily. Among the cities, he chose Baguio for its reputation as the safest city in the Philippines. He considers his 12-week IELTS Guarantee 6.5 Course an important step in achieving an overall 6.5 score. The first 8 weeks were structured around 2 hours of group classes and 5 hours of one-on-one classes daily. Following this, the program intensified to 6 hours of one-on-one classes. A significant part of his improvement came from participating in the evening speaking option class, which enhanced his performance in Speaking Part 2. The curriculum, designed to bolster all four language skills with the incorporation of Cambridge-based materials for both reading and listening tasks. Kentaro expressed his appreciation to his teachers by telling us that he loved all his classes because they were highly qualified and not only had official IELTS scores but they also provided him with tailored coaching to refine his skills. Starting with an overall score of 6.0, he was skeptical about reaching 6.5. However, through dedication over the 12-week IELTS Guarantee Course, his efforts resulted in achieving 8.0 in reading, and 7.0 in writing on his first examination. On the second take, he garnered 6.0 in speaking and 7.0 in listening and achieving the overall target score of 6.5. Before bidding us goodbye, he left a message for his fellow IELTS learners, and he said that achieving your target IELTS score stems from consistent study and a deep passion for learning.

EMILY'S GLOBAL ENGLISH CAMP EXPERIENCE

Introduce YourselfHello, my name is Emily I’m 16 y/o and I’m from Taiwan. I studied English for 1 month at Pines Academy. I think learning English is very important because it is an international language. It is also a tool that we can use to communicate with foreign people and it’s going to be helpful to our future job.Are you happy you are studying at Pines?Yes, because it is my first time to study abroad. Furthermore, I have 1 on 1 and group classes. They are very interesting. I will discuss why classes are fun. I learn idioms that are important when chatting with people. I like our teachers because they are amiable and entertaining. When they teach me, they make sure I always understand the lesson. They give us activities such as board games to let us learn more. I learned a lot more from my group class such as each of us has different opinions and we can work on constructing presentation materialsWhat’s the most interesting thing you have learned recently? Reading is the most interesting because my teacher corrects my intonation when I read a story out loud. For example, I say train (without pronounced without the diphthong sound), and my teacher told me it should be train (including the ei sound)What do you like most about the English language?I like pronouncing the words. Pronunciation of English words is engaging for me.Tell us something about your stay here at Pines.I have fun with my roommates whenever we go out on the weekends, and we have a lot of interesting activities to do like having a picnic in a park. My roommates and I have a stay-in teacher. Her name is Teacher Queenie. We like her because she is kind and helpful. She’s like our mom helping us when we have problems. I am staying in a room that is good for 6 people. I like my personal space as it has the things that I need like cabinets and a cozy chair.I’ve been to SM, the swimming pool and the parks. However, I like the mall because of the prices of the products there. I bought some clothes. Another thing that I like is the river view swimming pool. We also had a city tour, and we visited Baguio’s famous tourist spots like Botanical Garden and Mines ViewWhat do you like most about Pines Academy?I like the weather and scenery the most. When dusk comes, the sky is beautiful in Baguio. At Pines, the dormitory is big and clean. Also, the study environment is good. Whenever I study, I feel comfortable.Would you like to invite your friends in Taiwan to study at Pines?Yes, I will invite my friends because we can study together and enhance our educational ability. Thank you so much Pines Academy for making my first English Summer Camp memorable!

Baguio's Panagbenga Festival: A Fun Twist to Your English Learning Adventure

Studying English abroad is an opportune moment to learn new things about your chosen city, so joining the festivities with your friends is a good idea as it exposes you to the community. The people of Baguio celebrate the Flower Festival or the Panagbenga Festival. Panagbenga in the local dialect means the season of blooming. If you chose to register around February until March, you would be fortunate enough to witness the streets ofBaguio come alive with large crowds eager to participate in the flamboyant event as if attending the Pasadena Rose Parade, but you would not only see roses; you would also see other flower varieties during the local parade. For this year, the festivities marking the end of the Panagbenga Festival started early on Saturday, February 24, with the Grand Street Dance Competition led by the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and Saint Louis University (SLU) Marching Band and paraded its way from Panagbenga Park through the key streets, ending at Melvin Jones Football Grounds by 10:00 AM.With performances from four elementary schools in the Drum and Lyre category and 11 groups in the Festival Street Dance, the participants shined in majestic costumes, dancing to a blend of beats. The streets, especially Session Road, quickly filled up and challenged tourists to find a good viewing spot. This year's float parade competition was held on Sunday, February 25, and kept the excitement going by featuring floats from small to large, all creatively decorated. The celebration extends with "Session Road in Bloom" from February 26 to March 3, 2024. Yearly, the city's main street transforms into a pedestrian haven filled with stalls selling flowers, food, and crafts. Interestingly, many foods and products available during Session Road in Bloom are also found at the Baguio Night Market, offering a taste of the city’s vibrant street market scene during the day.The Flower Festival brings the community together, showcasing the culture and talents of Baguio City, the Cordillera region, and nearby regions. It also plays a crucial role in boosting tourism, drawing visitors to experience the coolness and beauty of this beloved city. If you had been here by this time, your "study English experience" would have been a memorable one.
