Current Level: __Achieving beginner___

After you have checked the points that you believe you have demonstrated competency for and scored yourself for your current level, answer these questions:
What have you improved on most during this partial (or, if this is the 4th partial, during the semester)?
During the semester the most difficult for me is public speaking and presentations, but it helped me develop myself in the expression and comprehension of texts.
What aspects of your English do you think still needs more work?
The aspects that I need work are all, because really I do not feel prepared for professional life. Especially speak English.
How will you improve those aspects?
I have to improve these aspects practicing more, taking more courses in English and reading more texts. Because I saw that the tasks in reading circles helped me a lot in that part of the understanding.
What aspect of your portfolio are you most proud of so far? Why?
Practically nothing, because I could never climb the documents on time. But I liked the experience and enjoyment watch my documents online. The design of my portfolio I liked.

What aspect of your portfolio do you think needs the most improvement? Why?
Everything, because I did always late the work and always needed help from other classmates to complete activities.
