    Yes, because I improved in listening and speaking. Also I learned a lot of new words.

    6. When and where do you usually do your homework?’
    I usually do my homework in my desk when I get home.

    7. Do you find it difficult to do your homework? Why?
    No, because all the homeworks are about the book, so we just had to read the chapters to do the homework.

  34. What did you enjoy about class this marking period? Why? Please refer to specific activities, projects, workshops, etc

    I enjoyed almost everything, especially the visit of the actor in our class and the activities we did all together as a class. It was my pleasure to participate in that class. I would like to thank everybody for that kind of experience they offered to me!!!
    What didn't you enjoy and why? Please be specific.

    What I didn’t enjoy so much was the bunch of tests I was supposed to write almost every day and the amount of homework each and every day. Maybe it was because of me joining at the wrong time. So, undeniably I have to confess that the next marking period is bound to become much much better.
    Were there any activities/projects/topics that we didn't cover that you want us to cover? Which ones

    Well, I suppose not. The teacher always knows much better than the students, and knows beforehand what she/he needs to teach to the class. So, I don’t think I am capable/qualified enough to answer such a question.
    What can I do to make the class better for you (aside from no homework J )? Please be specific.

    Please remain the same and maintain your focus on your job. ( I am pretty sure that all the other students would agree with my point of view.)
    Has your English improved since the class began? If yes, how? If no, why not? Please think carefully about this.

    Definitely yes, because the more one practices his English, the bigger are his chances of improving his English skills. That is a law (at least for me.) Although you never stop learning in life. As you grow up, you will always learn something new, almost every day. That’s life.
    When and where do you usually do your homework?

    I try to do my homework just after having lunch at my home (about 4 o’ clock). I study at my own desk, which is remoted from others. ( I can hear my sister doing other things, though!)
    Do you find it difficult to do your homework? Why?

    Well, I do not really think it is the exercises which are difficult, but rather the amount of job to do, which overwhelms a student. I am currently not facing difficulties while doing my homework.
    How much time do you spend looking at your class notes each week?

    Plenty of time. I do not moan though, because that is the job of the students and it is the only way for somebody to succeed in his life.
    What can you do to improve your class participation?

    I do not really know. Maybe you know better than me. I am sorry for not answering the question straightly.
    How do you study for tests and quizzes?

    I review whatever we have done in class and hope for the best. That’s all. What else should I do?
    Do you feel that the grade you are getting right now is the best you can do? Why?

    Well, maybe not. There is always the option of improving. It was a harsh and sudden start, so I aim in becoming a better student right now when the opportunity will rise to attend a class from its very beginning.
    What strategies will you use to get a better grade next marking period?

    I will participate more in the class, as well as study more and always do my homework, too. That’s the only key to ‘’success’’.
