skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. During this
module you have made a lot of progress in listening and reading
and some progress in speaking and writing. Which of the two
main skills in this module did you find easier? Which of the four
skills do you think will be the most useful to you in your real life
(for your job, travelling, etc.)? What kind of exercises could help
you improve those skills that you need the most?
Next, look at the words and expressions used in each lesson. You
might want to use your class notes or the Vocabulary section at
the end of the Students Guide.
Now you are ready for final assessment. More than anything, be
positive about it: it is not meant to sanction insuccess, but to
support your learning. Good luck!
