Ongoing assessment~

We had a writing test last week which is used to assess how much we have grabed and what problem we have got. It was not very difficult because we had discussed in group before writing. I did a lot of work last week so that I didn't update my blog on time, sorry about that.


This week I got the result of the wirting assessment which is quite satisfatory to myself because I supposed I have not pretty much idea of the critical analysis writing. But I do have to work hard on the area because grasping critical thinking is very important in the later study. One thing that would be hard to me is the extensive vocabulary, the new words. If I can not get the main idea or the details of the article, I can not analyse it in a correct way.


Last week I did some listening practice and I tried to take notes of the lectures. I can understand most of the meaning which surprised me because listening was my weakest skill before. I think I should continue to focus on it. We should understand what other people say before we reply to them, so it is really necessary to be improved.


For Speaking part, I have to do a good preparation for my presentation which could help me to be more relax instead of being nervous. I have fininshed my main part of content but did not start with my visual aids. So in the later week, I will concentrate on doing the powerpoint. But it will not cost much time of mine because as Kate said," It is the stuff to assist your speech not to drive your speech."


Finally, recommend some useful websites, hope everyone can do well in the EOC exam!!!Fighting~~~
