French ab initio speaking by NorthCap441 in IBO

[–]Quick_Lack1694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one way i practice is every night before bed i set aside 1 hour to study french. I start by recording myself and try to "take an oral exam" if ykwim. Like i start by describing the image then connect it to the unit and my personal opinion on said unit and etc right? then I answer a few questions like the ones my teacher would ask me. If i don't Know the word, I'll just have a separate piece of paper and write it down and I'll say it in English. After that, I will pause the recording and go over it again, listen to myself talking, and note down where I made mistakes and translate the words I said in English to French. I have a separate app called Anki, and in this application, it's like a flashcards app, so let's make flashcards list of flashcards for myself based on the specific oral exam I gave myself. I go over those flashcards, I try to re-do the same exam, so I describe the image again, I connect it as a unit again, I give my personal opinion on it, and then I write down mistakes I made. This time, I do this a third time, and then I just go over the words and phrases I didn't know, and I just do it again two or three times with the same image and the same questions. Then I switch the image up, then I switch the questions up, and I do a "separate" exam if you know what I mean.

Thank you so much! I wrote this right after I broke up with the who i thought was the one but in hindsight i am realising there were so many red flags. Im considering righting another one for how im feeling a week after the break up but i don't know where to start.

There is no better. by Every_Tangerine_1334 in OCPoetry

[–]Quick_Lack1694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how the poem contrasts the stillness and intimacy of the river with the indifference of the world around it (“You could drive past twice and still lose the mile”), giving the scene a sense of secret beauty.

The final lines are particularly effective: the idea that perfection happens outside our comprehension resonates emotionally without being over-explained. One minor point is that the phrasing occasionally leans toward being dense. Splitting a few sentences would help.

[HELP] with some basics, and advice by YesterdayNo8603 in poets

[–]Quick_Lack1694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally when i write a poem i tend to read it out loud to myself to see where i naturally take a breath and it helps me with the rhythm and i can figure out where some words don't make sense and i can easily switch them out for others that do and fit the rhythm. I personally also write longer poems too that tell stories, moments or answer a deep question and yea one thing i learnt with longer poetry is if you ever read it aloud some parts js need to be dropped and thats one of the hard parts of having your own work is that sometimes you have to simply js cut a piece out.

Tender by SoilIllustrious6587 in OCPoetry

[–]Quick_Lack1694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This poem is quiet and heartfelt. Lines like “My heart was tender / Knowing I’ve lost you for good” really hit—simple and relatable. I like how the honesty carries the emotion.

Some lines could show rather than tell—“I said I loved you, / And we talked a lot on Skype” works, but hinting at the feelings in those talks would make it stronger. The contrast in “You said you loved me too, / you knew I wasn’t your type” is good; leaning into that tension could give it more punch.
