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.
