I have always considered myself to be very good at English, but once this course began, I immediately noticed that my oral skills were pretty terrible. Before this course I hadn't spoken English almost at all except answering to the teacher's questions on previous courses. Before this course I was suspicious about it and I thought that this course might be ''useless'', but I changed my mind after the first lesson.
During the first week we practiced basic things (greeting someone etc.) and I noticed that speaking English was difficult for me. After a few lessons my oral skills got seemingly better and speaking English became easier and easier. So far I have liked the course very much.
Week 2
This week we had a listening comprehension and it went really well in my opinion. It helped me to lower some pressure off before the matriculation examination. I can't remember the exercises we had on week 2 except the story making exercise, which I found exiting and fun.
Speaking English is becoming easier and I'm getting more confident. I'm very glad to be on this course, because it has helped me a lot.
Week 3
This week we had a substitute teacher. We did some pronouncing exercises and we also had the phrasal verb test which went quite well in my opinion. We also did a very interesting group exercise. In that exercise our group had crashed in a desert and we had to come up with a plan to survive. I thought that this exercise was really fun and helped me improve my negotiating skills. We also did an exercise in which you had to describe a picture to your partner and he/she had to draw it. I thought that it was a fun exercise.
Week 4
This week we had the big debate. In my opinion the topics we had were kind of difficult for me to talk about. Also the groups were too big in my opinion. That's everything I remember from week four.
As the course continues, my pronounciation gets better all the time and it's easier to talk English.
Week 5
I can't remember much from the last week. I only remember that we played a game called Mafioso which was quite fun.
On Friday I had my oral exam. I wasn't that nervous before the exam, even though one of the exercises we would have seemed a bit difficult. But during the actual exam I was quite nervous and I felt that my pronounciation was awful. The teachers said that it went well but I don't know.
After the exam my course was over. I think that this course was one of the best courses I've had. This course was very different from all the other courses and it was rather easy to complete. And I also had a lot of fun during the lessons. This course was also very useful, my English improved a lot.
