IN THIS SEMESTRE I AM TAKING LINGUISTIC SUBJECT, I’VE
ONLY COMPLETED THE FIRST PERIOD BUT I HAVE LEARNED A
LOT OF THING THAT HAVE HELPED ME TO IMPROVE MY
ENGLISH SKILLS, ONE OF THEM IS SPEAKING SKILL IN
WHICH I HAVE ACQUIRED MORE ABILITY THAN BEFORE; AND
ABOUT GRAMMAR I’VE IMPROVED IT IN SOME TOPICS THAT I
HAD DIFFICULTY BEFORE WITH THE EXERCISES IN CLASS
AND THE TEACHER’S EXPLICATION. INDEED, I HAVE LEARNT A
LOT OF VOCABULARY READIING THE PAMPHLETS THAT THE
TEACHER GAVE US AND I THINK THEY’RE IMPORTANT IN MY
ACADEMIC LEARNING PROCESS, THE INTERACTION WITH MY
CLASSMATES WHEN WE MAKE SOME ACTIVITIES HAS BEEN
REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE I FEEL SURE FOR EXPRESSING
MY IDEAS OR OPINIONS.
MY STRENGHTS IS THE ABILITY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND
THE TEXT WHEN I READ BECAUSE I LEARN IT SINCE I
STARTED WITH THE READING HABIT WHEN I WAS IN THE
HIGH SCHOOL, I READ AROUND 15 TO 20 BOOKS IN ONE YEAR
(IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH) BUT WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I
LIKED TO READ A LOT AND LEARN NEW VOCABULARY
SPECIALLY IN ENGLISH AND FOR THIS REASON I DECIDED TO
STUDY BACHELOR DEGREE IN ENGLISH AT THE UNIVERSITY.

I REALLY LOVE TO READ EVERYTHING THAT I FOUND IN
EVERYWHERE LIKE NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, BOOKS, ETC.
TO LEARN ENGLISH IS NOT HARD BUT IT REALLY COMPLEX
BECAUSE WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND A LOT OF WORDS,
PHRASES AND NEW VOCABULARY.
MY WEAKNESSES IS THE USAGE OF GRAMMAR AS THE
PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE IN ENGLISH LENGUAGE, MY DIFFICULTY
IS TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEX STRUCTURE AND TO
IDENTIFY THE PARTS THAT COMPOSED ONE SENTENCE. I
THINK I HAVE TO DEVELOPED MY ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND IN
TOTALITY THE STRUCTURE GRAMMAR AND LEARN ABOUT IT
BUT THERE IS OTHER WEAKNESSES IS SPEAKING SKILL, MY
FLUENCY IS NO REALLY GOOD YET, BECAUSE I MAKE SOME
MISTAKES BUT I THINK THAT I AM A LITTLE BIT LAZY AND
SOMETIMES I PREFER SAY NOTHING .
FINALLY , I KNOW THAT I NEED TO IMPROVE MY GRAMMAR AND
MY SPEAKING SKILL IN THIS LANGUAGE BUT I HAVE THE
MOTIVATION THAT IS IMPORTANT AND I ALWAYS
MOTIVATED AND READY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT BECAUSE I
LOVE THE ENGLISH AND MY GOAL IS TO DO A GOOD AND
PROFESSIONAL TEACHER IN THIS AREA.
