What have you learnt in grammar/vocabulary sections?

I have you learnt different things grammar/vocabulary sections.First of all,I studied vocabulary to pass proficiency exam. I realized that the words which I learn in class are similar with the words I studied in the other books.In the last term,it was difficult for me because I had to study final and midterm exams also I studied vocabulary in the proficiency exam. On the other hand, I strongly believe that, the grammar I learnt has been improved this term. It’s getting harder and harder. I think if I study regularly, I will be better than my current situation.

Buket, I think this is a good reflection. You are a learner who knows how to take responsibility of her own learning. You will be improving more and more when you give up worrying about the proficiency exam. :)

This week was so beneficial for me. We learnt new grammar subject that usage of ‘if only’ and ‘wish’ although there was a little bit misunderstanding at the begining and I didn’t do but I enjoy with Seçkin Teacher’s telling a story activity with given words without preperation.

I don’t study English a lot but I care about achieving the tasks. I am bad at speaking and that’s why I took up watching TED Talks nowadays that I discovered from one of our task. I think I am good at grammar but I don’t know why I am, I haven’t any speacial study techniques. In general I suppose I’m successful in English but not enough. I must study more.

Okan, great effort to use the newly learnt vocabulary! Very good reflection. You very big cat.

Thats my second year in prep.school and I am very nervous. Also, I am under the pressure because of the school.  I can understand other students who can not pass the profiency exam . We have not excitement, really! We are bored and we need more support about this sitution.

Eylül:
İdil, what you need is to be more devoted to the subject you are learning. If anything excites you in the class, tell us immediately. Or you can come up with ideas that you might enjoy in the classroom. Learning happens when you love the thing you are learning. :)

THIS WEEK I WENT FOR SELF STUDY AND IT WAS VERY BENEFICAL FOR REVISION.

MY WORST SKILL IS SPEAKING SO I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING WAYS TO SPEAK FLUENTLY AND I DECIDED TO RECORD MY VOICE WHILE I AM SPEAKING AND SEND MY VOICE TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS BUT I THINK I NEED MORE SUPPORT AND MY FAVOURITE SKILL IS WRITING BECAUSE I HAVE A PEN FRIEND FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

Handan Mine, I think you are an autonomous learner, meaning that you take responsibility for your own learning. And, good news, that's the key to success! Congratulations :)

I used my godlike imagination for a activity which we choose four words randomly and talk about these words for a minute. I enjoyed this activity because it was easy and it took time. I have learned the another meaning of the word which appeared in quizz. It was "vet". I thought it was standing for "veteran" but actually its meaning appeared to be "investigate" or "searching" or something like that. I tried my best for taking my benefit from the activities and the wordy one was really useful for practicing my vocab.  Now  its lab hour and i'm watching cosmos and increasing the astronomic side of my brain. It'll be useful too for talking about it at some house party. Some blues and space chats, that is the meaning of a good party.

Thanks for your contribution to our reflective board, Mehmet. I am happy when you enjoy the classes. :) It's good to see you taking an active role in the class.

I have been practising speaking for a few weeks now. I was making a lot of mistakes in the beginning but my friends helped me improve my speaking skill and now I am making a lot less mistakes. While we were practicing, we used ESL Taboo and Random Word Generator.  ESL Taboo is a wonderful app for improving speaking level. We created two teams and our aim was to reach 25 points. There was a real good competition. I described 12 words without any taboo in one minute. At that moment, I was over the moon because we won thanks to my scores.

Eylül:
Tuna, I think you might be the game brain of our class. You are fun and happy. I wish you would contribute more to the speaking tasks given that you are good at it. Also, we need more games like taboo. Let us know if you find more :)

This week was absolutely perfect for me because we started a new unit which is called "STORIES". I like reading and writing stories so I thought it was going to be a good week. First of all we learnt lots of sayings&idioms which are really helpful while speaking English. The saying I liked  the most was "What Goes Around Comes Around". It was also the name of a song that I've been listening for a long time.  Last term we learnt a few idioms and this week when we learnt those sayings I understood that I really like learning these kinds of things .We did a spontaneous speaking activity which was really exciting because I thought that it was totally helpful for improving the speaking skill. Then, we learnt how to write stories and  new words that are helpful and more attractive when writing stories  like "crawl, sigh, whisper" Also we practiced the Multi-Word Verbs. About the grammar we learnt an important thing. Wish Clauses. At first I got confused but then I figured it out.  If only I hadn't gotten confused because it took a bit to understand it clearly.
I think I'm doing well with English. I don't have difficulties when I'm studying.  However I still have lots of things to learn. I believe I'm good at reading and writing because I try to write and read stories in English.
One last thing; I think we should write short stories about what we want. :)
So in another words it was a really good week :D
Thanks for giving me the chance to write and express myself...

Sinem, thanks for your insightful reflection. I think you will be a brilliant academician one day. You have a strong pen and a juicy big brain. :D
