Before I star writing “My goals, challenges, and expectations for language 3”, I want to say that I am very happy of this new year, even though this semester is going to be online. I am happy since I am going to be with my classmates, friends, and my teachers (thanks to them I proved my English a lot). I know someday I will meet my teacher and classmates, and I can say that day will Awesome. It will be one of the best days of my life.
Now I am going to write about “My goals, challenges, and expectation for this semester.” For this part I had to read what I had written in “My Language 2 Self-Assessment”, therefore I can know if I will still have the same “goals, challenges, and expectations” or not for this new semester. After reading it again, I realized that I have one new goal and two new challenges. The new “goal” is to “Keep my weaknesses and my strengths in balance”. The two new challenges are “Not being nervous on a Speaking test” and “Not being afraid of asking something or make a mistake”. And my expectation is the same as the last semester, “Finish the semester with good marks and new knowledge”, except for “Not being nervous on a Speaking test”, (remember that is one of my new challenges, and I will explain it later). Here you can see the list that I made. (I made it in Canva).
As I wrote before “my goal” is: “Keep my weaknesses and my strengths in balance”. This means that I must work hard, put a lot of effort keep the balance balanced this semester. My weaknesses are (Reading & Writing). My strengths are (Listening, Speaking, Phonetics and Use of English).
My challenges are: “Not being nervous on a Speaking test” and “Not being afraid of asking something or make a mistake”. Maybe you are asking “Why not being nervous on a speaking test is one of her challenges if speaking is one of her strengths?”. The answer is simple. Speaking is one of my strengths but is not when we talk about a Speaking test. Last year I always got nervous when I had to take a Speaking test, and maybe is because that I do not want to make a mistake or disappointing my teacher, and that is also my challenge plus not being afraid of asking something in class. I think if I want to complete these two challenges, I have to be myself and think whenever is a test think that is just an activity.
My expectation as I wrote a few paragraphs before, is “Finish the semester with good marks and new knowledge.” As every year I love studying, learning new things. For me is very important because it will help me in my future, to be a good English teacher. Also, I can teach this new knowledge to my future students, so that is the reason of why is very important to me.
To finish my “My goals, challenges, and expectations for language 3”, I want to write this quote that I love. Is from Walt Disney but appeared in the movie “Meet the Robinsons”. It is very meaningful because it teaches you that no matter what hard the paths in our life can be, we have to keep moving forward, because new paths will be come, and it is our new opportunity.
