Comments

Well done, Javier, on all your hard work this term. You are always active in speaking activities, and this is great. I always enjoy reading your writing too; you have very good ideas. You can see from your marks that reading is not a problem for you.

Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I recommend you review many of the language points we studied this term. There is extra language practice in your online workbook.

The area you need to work on the most is listening. I know this is difficult for you. I recommend more practice at home. Listen to English TV shows, podcasts and radio as much as possible. I can give you a list of things to listen to.

I've enjoyed working with you. Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!

My last report was "English level test" online on British Council site. )) What do I need to improve? Never had such an easy question. I need to improve all four skills. I have good vocabulary and quite good at grammar. I even read English books in the original. But still need to improve my reading skill. My writing skill is less well than reading. I'm trying to write in English as often as possible. Even here, on your site, I do my best to write comments 500 signs minimum but I know it's not enough. Listening and Speaking are my weakness. I'm still not confident when I have to talk to somebody or listening to someone. I definitely need more practice.

I think my last report was good. I answered the questions correctly, but I didn't know the meaning of some words. I need to increase my vocabulary.

I'll do my best to get used to listening more to improve my grades.

My last report was excellent but I had some difficulties in one question which taught me that I have to improve my predicting.

I've got 87 on my final exam in English C1 level and I've reached my advance level certificate. Especially I need to improve my speaking skill and vocabulary.

Even though I type down new words to my notebook and make sentences with them, I realize that I forget them easily.

Do you know? I love it. I learn English while enjoying by using my favorite movies. However what important is I watch movies a number of time. Then, I keep watching same movies until I can watch it without subtitling. Also, It is very important to memorize many vocabularies and writing English sentence like it.
