1 Annotated evaluation (First Check)



Comment: I was dissapointed with myself when I recieved the mark because I thought I could have done it so much better. The content wasn't complicated, besides was something we had seen tha last year. 
The mistakes I made were so stupid... however fortunately this was just a quiz a not a big mark.

Homework and class activity: Roommate Wanted!! 
Date: 26/03

20 years old girl
-My habits are: eat at least one fruit and vegetables per day, to cook my food for the next day, spend time watching some movie or series, and sing when I’m alone. J
-Schedule: I use to wake up most of the day al 8:00am, go to the university, and go back home at 6 or 7pm. I don’t have a schedule because all day are very different. (Every day is a surprise and always improvise)
Likes and dislikes: I like to talk, laugh and spend pleasant moments. But I also like that they respect my spaces and my moments alone. I hate when I'm busy doing something that I consider important and someone interrupts me.
I like cleanliness and order, at least in common spaces. I like calm and silence. Finally, I really like honest and open-minded people.

What am I looking for in a roommate?
I am looking for my partner to be something similar to me in certain aspects, such as order, silence and respect; to name a few. I’m not a very talkative person at the beginning, so my confidence is given little by little. I want a partner who can be a mutual help to study, who likes anime, animals (especially dogs), cooking and go for a walk.

Short reflection on how prepared I feel for the midterm (First Check)



I have never really felt fully prepared for the midterm.
Right now I am doing my best so that everything turns out well, but I feel that it is not enough. In general, I always forget small details and that makes me wrong when doing the exercises.
So now, what I'm focusing on most is paying attention to those details that I always forget and improve it.
I feel more confident with the listening test, with the writing test I do not feel good or bad, I just know that I need to practice as much as I can.
  And I'm definitely afraid of the oral test; I'm not going to lie.
When alone or with my friends, my ideas usually flow well and I can express myself. I know I can talk and understand what I mean; my problem is that in oral test I cannot control my nerves.
That's what I have to work the most.
What I'm doing now to study grammar is to make worksheets mainly; because that's the way I learn the material best. I have searched the internet pages for various activities to do.
I have also read the ppts we have seen in classes.
Another way in which I learn better is to study with other people, because that way I can see different points of view, compare answers and move faster.
When I really do not understand any topic and I do not have anyone to ask at the moment, what I usually do is look for videos on YouTube where they explain that topic.
And for my speaking skills ... I speak alone.
I imagine that I am two people and I do a kind of dialogue, whatever it is, the important thing is that I keep talking about something.
I would like to participate more in classes, but that is something that I also have to improve. I find it hard to express myself with people around me.
I have time to continue studying, so these days that are left will be taken advantage of in the best way.
