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!

Hi Everbody, My took an exam 10 years a go:) now I am just working. I must working because my wife is not going to work 2 years so We need money alive:) my payment is not enough for go to course. I wan to go to course. I want to help prefossional for learn english but my financial possibility is not enough.Never mind I study here. Maybe I can improve my english here. I hope so. Far the corona-19 Stay at home

Hi.. But you should study at home, watching on line classes on youtube, TV series, listening music, playing games, doing exercise on app. We can't depend to a teacher.. if you really want to learn, you can do it alone. Believe in you. Good Look!

Hello everyone:) İ remembered something like this subject. At that time i had been working in a big company in İstanbul. For that reason i thought İ had to improve my English skills, And then i enjoyed a course which was the best from the others on my location. My instructor said that i was good at writing and listening was ok but speaking was not same the others. Thanks all of you :)

Hello! I need to improve my English language and I need to emprove my work skills be economics and management.

i sat my final exam three weeks ago at the end of the last month. the exam consisted (listen ,reading,vocabulary,grammer ,pronunciation and writing. and i got my result this week. i was in A ,i got wrong 18 marks . i was needed 190 and i gained 172. the best part of my exam was pronunciation 20/20 and the second one was speaking 14/15 and the third one was grammer 38/40. as you can see from marks i was A in all three these. But there were skills that i was very poor at them such as reading 10/15 ,listen 8/10,vocabulary 37/40 and writing 45/50. my poorest part was reading I became very complicated it was talking How our body language reveal out our emotion withou telling ,the concept was hard and there were difficult words that i had not seen before .

It's has been long time since the last report so I forget about it. But I know for sure that I need more practice on my listening at most. Also, I have not had any course on writing yet.

My last report was speaking evaluation by my teacher. It wasn’t great and I need to work hard and be induatrious. Pronounciation and fluency are the skills I want to improve.

i am not very good in english but i want to improve. I am good in writing or reading. I have some problem about speaking because i sometimes think in italian language and then translate in english ...this is bad!!! but i am not very good in listening..it is difficult for me to understand the other expecially if he speaks quickly..but i can understand very well if you speak me slow. In these days i am watching short videos online and i am listening english songs with subtitle to improve my vocabulary. I know i need of speaking and listening more times

I need to work more with reading, listening and pronunciation
