FIRST SELF-ASSISMENT

 

At the beginning of the year I arrived very insecure at the university and confused if I had made a good choice, I did not know if I would be able to perform in the tests or if I would understand my teachers when they taught me the whole class in English, but my perspectives were changing and I realized that even though it’s hard for me I’m able to understand everything, even though what makes it harder for me is to speak and read in English, it’s something that I do not improve

When we started with phonetics I was very scared (maybe even a little bit) but I realized that it is a matter of studying and paying attention in class. The audios seemed very difficult and the first ones I did feel that they are horrible and I did not put all my effort, and this is where I feel that I have improved in terms of improving the expression and I want to continue improvingalthough I do not have bad grades, but I need to improve my safety when it comes to speaking in public, when we have to speak, I lack confidence in myself because I know that I understand English and I am good at studying.

Dr. Laver: I had a lovely time at the barbecue, although I drank too much wine. I had a terrible hangover.
Alice: Did you? I just wish I hadn’t had that salmon, especially as I’d already had enough food. I was just being greedy.
Dr. Laver: Oh well, not to worry, you’ll be alright soon. In fact, I was wondering, erm…
Alice: Yes, yes?
Dr. Laver: Well, when you’re well enough, would you like to go out one evening?
Alice: Are you asking me out on a date, Dr. Laver?
Dr. Laver: Well yes, I… I guess I am, and please, call me Paul.
Alice: Well, Paul, I’d love to go on a date.
Dr. Laver: Great. Would Friday be too soon?
