You can choose your partner for the speaking tasks.

ReplyDeleteIn this English lesson I have learned even more to read carefully before choosing the right option because they could be small details that change the meaning of the sentence, another thing is that you must always read again while listening and do not assume that the first choice is the right one and lastly you must focus on the meaning of the question without getting lost in the discussion.
I feel more confident on some parts of riding and writing but I think I can still improve.
Moreover for the writing, I find more stimulating to write if I like the topic and I really like the idea of learning new words in the form of a game.
Chiara R.
ReplyDeleteIn these exercises I learned more vocabulary and I improve my writing.
I find more easy the listening, because I practiced a lot, and I find more challenging the writing part because of all the irregular verbs and because of the spelling of the words. How long does the speaking part last?
The overall lenght of the speaking part is 12–17 mins.

ReplyDeleteIn these exercises I learned to write and read the content of the text with more attention, providing more attention to detail.
The easiest exercises for me were the puzzles and the crossword because I already knew many words.

Angela G
ReplyDeleteIn this English lesson I: figured out which parts I need to strengthen to improve my English level, after that I learned the meaning of new useful vocabulary, took some time to reflect well on the tasks, without giving hasty answers, and lastly, I did many listening exercises to improve this part.
I found the crosswords puzzle section simple and fun, and in general I enjoyed doing these exercises independently, choosing the most useful tasks for me.
Thanks to these exercises I understood
ReplyDeletethat I should read every sentence in details before choosing my answer. I learned new words, making my vocabulary richer and more complete. The crosswords puzzles were simple and fun to do but I practiced more on the listening task to improve it, and I think it was helpful.

I find that listening is the most difficult activity for me, because I find it difficult to understand what is said. I found the writing activity with puzzles and crossword puzzles easy enough. For the exercises I did, I haven't questions.
Federica Z.
ReplyDeleteIn the exercises I did I learned new words, I understood that I have to read very carefully before writing the missing words in the texts because there may be more words that seem to be going well, but which then change the meaning of the sentence and I have improved a bit plus my grammar. The activity that I find easier is that of completamneto and where there are puzzles and crossword puzzles.

ReplyDeleteIn these exercises, how
In the English lessons, I improved the grammar, I learned new words, correctly place the words in a sentence and notice small details and write a text or a small article.
In these activities, if I like ideas and the topic, I find them much more stimulating and interesting.
I still have difficulties with the Listening activity but the various exercises help me more and more. I believe I can improve and learn new things.
Erika S.
ReplyDeleteIn this English lesson I’ve learnt new words, I’ve improved my English but I’ve also understood better what kind of requests can be in the exam. I found easy the speaking task because I’ve done lots of practice; on the other hand I’ve found a little bit difficult the listening, because they speak very fast and sometimes I can’t understand what they want to say and consequently the right answer. I like these exercises because I could choose the best for me, I have no questions.
SERRA SABRINA in today's lesson I learned new words, completing the reading, crossword puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI learned to better understand the texts and I deepened my knowledge of grammar.
