English Conversation – Dreams
This is the preparation material for an English conversation lesson about dreams. Dreams are images, thoughts, sounds and voices, experienced when we sleep. They may include people you know, people you've never met, places you've been, and places you've never even heard of. Sometimes they're as simple as recalling events that happened earlier in the day. At other times they can be strange and mysterious. Some people believe that dreams give us special messages, others believe they reveal our fears and worries. Most scientists believe that dreams are a way for our brains to consolidate all the information we accumulate in our day-to-day lives. read more

Some people have insomnia and are unable to sleep even if they are very tired. Other people work or party too hard and so they do not give themselves proper rest. For every person and animal, sleep has a major impact on our overall quality of life.

How to Calculate your IELTS Band Score
In the IELTS exam, you receive a score, which is called a ‘band’, for each section of the exam – listening, reading, writing and speaking. You also receive an overall band score, which is the average score of the four sections. The band system is on a scale from 1 to 9, with each band corresponding to a level of English competence. Band 1 indicates that you have virtually no English at all, while band 9 is considered to be a high level of proficiency. It is also possible to get a half score, for example, 7.5.
