“When I saw the IELTS course for the first time then I was baffled. Because I had never studied such courses before. Honestly speaking, I was damn nervous but the next moment I decided to take up the challenge and face it with all my capacity”, said Kritika Gurung, an 18-year-old science student from Chhorepatan Higher Secondary School, Pokhara.

Kritika Gurung is hell-bent to study ‘Aeronautical engineering’. Her intense desire and deep attachment with the subject have made her even more confident not only to succeed in the subject but also to become an authority in days to come. 

“This is a fact that I got into science ever since my childhood. But a turning point came in my life when I did join a science exhibition held at my school---then I was in 8^th standard. For the first time, I saw so many science models and they were extremely effective and mindboggling indeed. I was enthralled looking at those wonderful scientific models. In the meantime, I became nervous because I had nothing to show to prove that I was also an avid science enthusiast. At that moment I took a vow that one day I would make my presence felt in the field of science”, added Kritika. 

Kritika has firmly decided to go for higher education and her destination is the US. “The subject ‘aeronautical engineering’ is a serious subject. And as far as the quality of the subject is concerned, I do not want to make any compromise whatever. This is the reason I want to pursue aeronautical engineering in the US”.

When asked what she will do after the completion of the course abroad. She said, “For some years I would like to work in the US because practical knowledge is more important than a college/university education. Working in a company as an aeronautical engineer will definitely provide me ample experience and that knowledge and experience later I could definitely put into use back in my country”. 

Kritika has scored 8.5 in READING, LISTENING, AND SPEAKING. However, she is not happy with her writing score as it was 6.5. 

“I would not mind if I had obtained 6.5 in other subjects, but the writing was my fort. I had expected somewhere 7.5 to 8.0 band score. But I got freaked out when I saw my writing score was only 6.5. Anyway, now I cannot do anything but still, I am absolutely certain that I deserve more marks in writing”.

The IELTS course is extremely scientific and therefore it is pragmatic as well. All four branches of the English language help students to enhance their knowledge and proper understanding of the English language as it is. Only a serious study can lead a student to obtain the desired band score. However, lazy students will only flounder without any success. 

“All subjects are equally important in the IELTS examination. But Reading needs special attention. Actually, Reading demands more time and hard work only then will a student succeed in obtaining the desired score. Many students don’t have a reading habit and therefore they are unable to comprehend the passages. My suggestion for them is that read regularly. Read newspapers, magazines, and books. And most importantly you must stockpile as much vocabulary as possible. Truth has it that strong vocabulary embellishes our English and makes spoken as well as written language qualitative”.

Kritika has scored 8.5 in Speaking. By no means is it easy to obtain such an impressive score on the IELTS Speaking test. When asked how did she manage to obtain an 8.5 in the Speaking? She said, “I used to practice with my teacher who would correct my English whenever necessary. Following my teacher’s suggestion, I took an interest in memorizing as many words as possible. I think I greatly benefited from the stock of my vocabulary. I used to speak a lot with my friends and sometimes even I would practice alone”. 

Kritika’s parting words for the IELTS students are loud and clear. She says to build up enough self-confidence to face any challenges of life. However, self-confidence is not possible without hard work. Thus, in reality, among others, hard work is a must because no success is ever possible without hard work.
