ENGLISH: Read / Write / Listen (comprehend) / Speak / Teach (in)

Within two weeks of my arrival at ISU, I have already taken three language tests. The first one was English Placement Test - that tests if an international student is capable enough to study in an American school when the mode of teaching is American English. This tests the reading, writing and listening (comprehending) skills of the participating students.
The second test, SPEAK, tests whether an international student is capable enough to speak in the American English or not. The last test was TEACH test, that tests if an international student is capable enough to teach in an American school using American English or not?
My result? Cleared all :)

Arrived in ISU, Ames

This is my first post after arriving in Ames. I joined my university early this week. The orientation starts from tomorrow, however the classes won't start until August 20. I do not have to do much things during the orientation. Presently, it is summer here and the Sun is quite hot. However, I am not worried about it at all, since I am aware that soon, when the winter arrives, I am going to miss it.
I met a lot of new people here. They have been really helpful and it is nice to see the way people help each other here. At least the first impression has really been impressive.
I would also like to give a special thank to all the members of ISA, who helped the new students acclimatize in the environment in the best possible manner possible. The old students here are really helpful and concerned about the new students. A big kudos to them all!
