MY PROGRESS THIS WEEK.

It's still very difficult for me to express myself in another language. I have trouble organizing my thoughts and expressing my opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
I have difficuly understanding long texts or extensive dialogue due to the connected form of the words and the many words in the texts that I do not yet now.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a hard time identifying things that are hiddem in conversations because I don't understand English very well yet. Sometimes, things may go unnoticed due to my lack of understanding.

Over the past two weeks, I encountered some new expressions in class. With the help of the teacher and some research, I was able to understand them a little better.

# data[].attributes.body
Each class fosters an enthusiasm for learning new things. However, when expectations are not met, it shows that I must try harder.

# data[].attributes.body
I am enthusiastic about learning new things in every class, but I don't always meet my own expectations, which shows that I have to try harder. My new plan is to improve every day, so I've already started an online English course. I hope the course will help me improve my listening skills and speaking ability.

My progress this week

I'm watching the TV series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's very sarcastic, and some of the lines are difficult to understand, but I can understand them with effort.

Summarizing what I read is still very challenging, even with the help of a dictionary. I also need help from my classmates.

I don't feel ready for a debate or discussion yet, nor do I know the right words to use.

# data[].attributes.body
