The Far West Implementation Method
Implementation is when we use English in our real life. If you are a TOEFL or IELTS student, this means doing the test. If you are a business person, this means making
your presentation or conference call. Implementation is when you skills really matter.
Unfortunately, many people fail at this stage. There are 4 main reasons why people to implement properly.
Preparation
If you didn’t set accurate goals, identify your gaps, memorize or practice, your implementation will fail. This kind of failure happens in two ways:
• Panic – Panic means that you try to think of what to say but your mind is empty. This means that you didn’t memorize the right material. If you
experience this problem, you need to check your material – maybe you are studying the wrong kind of material. Next, you need to test your memory. Maybe you didn’t
memorize the material properly.

• Choke – Choking is the opposite of panic. When we choke, we think too much. If you try to speak but have too many ideas in your head, you are
choking. This means that you learned the right material but you didn’t practice enough. Go back and do some extra practice on the same material.

Health
• Sleep – Before an important event like a test or a speech, many people have trouble sleeping. Of all my TOEFL students, this was the #1 complaint.
It’s important to have a plan to get a good night sleep the night before an important day.
• Diet – Some food can have a great impact on our brain health. Anti-Oxidants and Omega 3 Fatty Acids are the best for our brain. For example, a meal
of salmon and broccoli can have a great impact on your brain performance.

Support
• Warm-up – Many people have trouble getting started with their presentation or their test. They have been using Chinese all day and it can take some
time to switch over to using English. This is why a warm-up phone call can be so important. Before your test or your presentation, call your English consultant or a
friend for a quick English conversation. This will get your brain ready for implementation. If you pay a school or private teacher for English class, make sure they
offer some on-call support.

• Editing – Before a big presentation or before delivering a report, take the extra time to have it edited. These days, editing services are quick and
affordable. A Premium English Consultant will also provide this type of service.

• On-Call Support – Sometimes, during an important meeting, you might have a quick question about a specific English word or phrase. Having an English
consultant or an English-speaking friend can make a big difference. If you pay a school or private teacher for English class, make sure they offer some on-call
support.

Confidence
Confidence is really a combination of all the other things mentioned above – Preparation, Health, and Support. Make sure that you deal with all these issues – they
will increase your confidence.
Here are a few extra suggestions to increase confidence:
• Practice in the same environment that you implement. If you need to prepare for a presentation, have your English class in a similar room. If you are used to
performing in this kind of environment, you will feel more confident during the real implementation.
• Eat fresh salmon and tuna. Scientists have found that fish with Omega 3 fatty acids will increase your confidence and happiness levels. In addition, they can reduce
brain inflammation, helping you work longer.
• Practice face-to-face with a foreign English speaker. If you get in the habit of speaking with foreigners, you won’t feel nervous when you make a sales call or
presentation. In addition, they can give you advice and help before your big day.
