Performance Review

1. Reading & Use of English 

Strengths: Can sometimes identify main ideas in longer texts.

Weaknesses:
  • Grammar need reinforcement.
  •  Collocations, phrasal verbs, word formation.
  • Vocabulary range is not strong enough.

What to work on:
  • Systematic practice with grammar in use (B1–B2): verb patterns, prepositions, word formation.
  • Daily reading of short articles (BBC Learning English, Breaking News English) this helps build vocabulary.



2. Listening 

Strengths: Can catch some specific information.

Weaknesses:
  • Struggles with gist understanding.
  • Cannot easily follow multiple speakers.
  • Difficulty recognizing connected speech and fast native pace.

What to work on:

  • Daily graded listening practice (B2 podcasts with transcripts).
  • Practice note-taking for Part 2 tasks.
  • Exposure to different accents (UK, US, Australian).
  • Shadowing exercises (repeat short clips for rhythm and connected speech).



3. Writing 

Strengths: Writes enough words, organizes into paragraphs, attempts to use advanced vocabulary.

Weaknesses:
  • Part 1 essay: missed task notes, vocabulary misuse (responsibles, African countries live in the trash ).
  • Part 2 article: off-task (didn't asnwer the main topic “most useful thing learned”).
  • Grammar: errors with articles, prepositions, and sentence structure.

What to work on:

  • Practice analyzing the question.
  • Learn structures for each text type (essay, article, review, email).
  • Revise linking devices (firstly, however, in conclusion).
  • Controlled grammar writing (short summaries, re-writing with corrections).



4. Speaking 

Strengths: Can speak at length, gives examples, relatively confident.

Weaknesses:
  • Frequent grammar mistakes (people is, I not interested).

  • Vocabulary repetitive.
What to work on:
  • Record and self-correct short 1–2 minute answers.
  • Practice follow-up questions (What do you think?).
  • Expand topic-based vocabulary (tourism, environment, media).
  • Pronunciation drills (word stress, intonation)



Action Plan to improve

  1. Grammar & Vocabulary 

  • Word formation + phrasal verbs practice.

  • Practice English Grammar in Use (Intermediate, Raymond Murphy)  Maybe 20 min daily.

2. Listening 
  • Listen to graded podcasts with transcripts daily.

  • Re-listen and repeat sentences (shadowing).
3.Writing 
  • Always plan: 3 to 4 paragraphs with connectors.

  • Practice different text types with clear models.
4. Speaking 
  • Role-play discussions, learn to interact actively.

  • Improve accuracy and reduce errors.
