Well done, Javier, on all your hard work this term. You are always active in speaking activities, and this is great. I always enjoy reading your writing too; you have very good ideas. You can see from your marks that reading is not a problem for you.

Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I recommend you review many of the language points we studied this term. There is extra language practice in your online workbook.

The area you need to work on the most is listening. I know this is difficult for you. I recommend more practice at home. Listen to English TV shows, podcasts and radio as much as possible. I can give you a list of things to listen to.

I've enjoyed working with you. Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!

The areas where I need improvement are listening and speaking. I got good grades in reading and writing in the last report. For listening and speaking practice, I think I need an environment. Whom should I practise here where people speak different language and they don't understand English at all.

I didn't do one for a year, so I'm not sure if I really make progress in my language or not, but I built some useful daily habit like reading English books, listening to English videos and podcasts, and record video in English everyday, I think I definitely make progress but I can't measure it.

I'm a beginner in English. I haven't studied it since school, but now with both the British Council and BBC podcasts, I'm making a lot of progress ..

Thank you

Actually, my last report was good; I got great marks in most of the subjects I studied at college, of course, there were some areas where my marks idicate that I need to improve and put in more effort, such as writing and speaking

My last report was not bad. I have been now in B 2 thanks to your website and your advise. but I have to improve my listening by hearing a lot of podcasts and speechs. I always listen to podcasts.

Hello ASSAMOI,

Congratulations! It's always motivating to see progress. At beginner levels it's easy to see what you're learning because everything is new. After that it is harder to see because it's more about getting a little better at everything rather than learning lots of things for the first time, but that doesn't mean progress isn't being made.

Podcasts are a great way to practise listening and you can find good quality podcasts on any topic. I listen to them a lot myself.
