Heyy,

Today I will talk to you my language 2 self-assessment, what I learned and all of this.

This semester was harder than the previous one because, the exigence was hard.My responsibility was so much better because I do it on time(sometimes) the homeworks and I don’t stress so much.

One of the challenges that I had on the begginning of semester was my speaking skill and I improve, I talk so much better, I dont get nervous when I talk, I am more positive in that sense. I learned that have mistakes it’s fine. My vocabulary was other challenge and I think I improve because I think in english and when I dont know some words in english, I ask to a classmate or somebody how can I say it.

When I am in front of the class or I have a Speaking test, I get nervous but not at all, in my mind the only thing that I think is: “you can do it” “if you do it wrong, its ok”. It is so sweet because I know that I improve my security while I am in the university and I have this experiences.

BUT one of the challenges that I still have is some things in vocabulary, and speaking. I want to improve more this skills and I know I can.

The Phonetic classes are so harder, but my favorites because It is so interesting and proffessor James is so cute ๐Ÿ˜‰

Also I want to THANK to my friends Valentina and Francisca marin แกฃ๐ญฉ because,
If I wouldn’t be with them I don’t know what would happen to me, this semester was much better and fun thanks to their company, I love them so much. We came to the conclusion that our personalities are a golden (vale), a blonde cat (panchi) and a black cat (me). แกฃ๐ญฉ

That’s it แกฃ๐ญฉ

For my phonetics class, I have to record The Flatmates Audio’s

One of them is Episode 119 “A quiet drink” with Francisca Marรญn, and Episode 111 “Time for coffee” with Valentina Bugueรฑo

Episode 119

Paul: So here’s your gin and tonic. Cheers!

Alice: Cheers! Here’s to holidays. I’ve got a few days off next week. I can’t wait for a break from work.

Paul: That’ll be nice. I wish I was as enthusiastic about half-term!

Alice: Have you got any plans?

Paul: Well, I’ve got a few activities planned for both Jake and Ellie but I have to work on Tuesday and Wednesday and I do want to spend some quality time with Jake. I think we need some father-son time alone.

Alice: Well, I could help out there, if you like.

Paul: How so?

Alice: Well, maybe I could mend a few bridges with Ellie and we could have some girly fun at the same time.

Paul: You know what? That sounds like a great idea.

Alice: You think so? I donโ€™t want to cause any more problems.

Paul: Donโ€™t worry about that. Iโ€™m sure that with time Ellie will totally adore you.

Alice: You really believe that?

Episode 111

Tim: Thanks for inviting me out for coffee. It’s good to get out of the flat for a bit.

Janet: I hope you’re keeping yourself busy.

Tim: Well, I’m trying to but sometimes it’s a bit difficult to get motivated.

Janet: I know it is Tim but it’s important to keep your spirits up. And I hope I can help on that score.

Tim: Oh Janet, you’re too kind.

Janet: Well, what’s an old gal meant to do? I see you as my special little project. Now, tell me honestly. What is it you want to do with your life? How would you like to earn a living?

Tim: Well, you know Janet, I’ve always seen myself as a bit of a creative person. Iโ€™ve thought about writing or maybe doing something in design, but it just feels overwhelming to know where to start.

Janet: Thatโ€™s a great start, though! Being creative can take you in so many directions. Have you thought about starting small? Maybe working on some projects in your free time?

Tim: I have, but sometimes I just donโ€™t feel confident enough. Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™m any good at it, and I donโ€™t want to fail.

Janet: Thatโ€™s completely natural, Tim. But you wonโ€™t know until you try, right? Plus, everyone starts somewhere.

Performance Quiz 1

Hey,

For my Use of English class I have to write a reflection of my performance on my first quiz.

First of all, When I know that we have a quiz, literally I think so much things, like I have to study because I have to improve and get good marks.

BUT I forgot study (agh), I feel so bad for this because my responsibility is so awful.

To be honest, I study like 20 minutes before the quiz, I saw my notes, I study with my friends, I do question and exercising the material. Then when we have to go to quiz, I got nervous besides to got anxious.

THANKS TO THAT I forgot so many things and I don’t feel confident to do the quiz ๐Ÿ™

When I see the Items to do in the quiz, I think “you can do it” “you know all this” then I started and complete the items, think how is this, how is that, BUT when I see the Item of Transitive and Intrasitive verbs, I forgot all ;(

I tried to remember, I said: “it’s not difficult, you know this

I still try to remember but I can’t, and I feel sad, my mind is so fragile sometimes when I have to remember important things. I hate it.

When I get out of the class and go to relax, I think “I don’t have a great mark” until I tried to stay positive, but I can’t.

Then when I have the mark, I feel bad, because I see the Items and all of this.

I STILL CONFUSED SOME THINGS BETWEEN THE PRESENT AND PAST, I don’t know why, is weird, because in the moment I don’t see the error but then when I see I stay like:

Always I said: “I study for the next quiz” but occur the same thing. I study but I forgot the things, I go to the quiz and I feel bad.

I want to improve all of this, I want to feel good when I do quizzes and have a great marks.

Is my responsibility, I want to stay positive and I tried but well… one day I do it, I know.
