    My English
    My evaluation of my current levels of knowledge and skills in English:
    Diary
    You will find diary sections throughout this Portfolio. These are for you to write your
    thoughts while you study the course.

    Look at the sample diary entry of this Portfolio. It gives you an idea ofthe kind of
    thing you could write.

    Look at the review of verb forms. Which of these causes you the most problems?What are
    the things you know, but keep making mistakes with?

    I think my understanding of the basic tenses is OK now, but I get a bit


    annoyed with myself when I make silly mistakes. For example, I keep
    forgetting to use the present perfect and try to say everything in the past
    simple. I know the rules – it’s just that sometimes it’s very hard to apply
    them. There are some other tenses, like the past perfect, that I just avoid
    completely because I usually use them wrongly – so this is another area I
    need to work on.
    I need the exercises in the Student’s Book to remind me of the
    things I have to focus on – and I’ve decided that the
    thing I really need to do is listen and read as much as
    I can outside class to try to get more of a ‘feeling’
    for how the tenses are used.
