WRITING SUMMARY. This is the third semester when I am trying to do my best in writing summaries. Still it is mysterious writing, in which you never know how well you will be assessed. What I have noticed that summary writing does not linger so long time as it used to be in previous semesters. I am positive that to create an accurate and brief sentence is easier for me. The biggest problem and the biggest mistake creator is my lack of English word. It is pretty hard to understand ea text and to create a summary if you have no idea of a meaning of the words. I still make some grammar and spelling mistakes.

WRITING COMPREHENSION TESTS ON MODULES IN PSYCHOLOGY. I did not show a good performance in this task. Even if I was trying to learn everything as good as possible, the test was too difficult to me. It looks that I have no idea what to learn. Only one time my performance was assessed in a maximum assessment. Fortunately, not everything was so bad. It was easier to study the modules because almost all information was learnt in our Psychology classes in Lithuanian language. I tried to retrieve the information which was in my long-term memory.

MAKING POWER POINT PRESENTATION. I like this task as all people and animals like to eat. This is the only way to show the creativity in these studies at Mykolas Romeris University. I have chosen a theme which was very topical for me (“The diversity of sexual behavior”). I was trying to do my best not only in making a power point presentation but also in presenting it. Unfortunately, I got sick and I came to show my presentation with a high temperature. So my performance was not as good as I expected. I was happy that I got a lot of questions of my colleagues so I decided that they were interested in my presentation.

IMPROMPTU SPEAKING IN CLASS. I really like it, especially when I came back from USA. I have not found huge difficulties in thinking what to say. Still it is quite hard to talk using words which is related with Psychology. Maybe I need to use an exchanging program which is called ERASMUS in order to learn how to use psychological phenomenon in speaking. Moreover, I understand that my speaking is full of mistakes and incorrect pronunciation but I like to talk in English. Taking and learning from ourselves mistakes will teach us how to do it correctly.

PERFORMANCE IN LISTENING PRACTICE. My performance of this task has not changed. I have no idea what to do and how to increase my performance skills. Exam is coming and I do not know how to change a situation. I am positive that I really found difficulties in concentrating on sounds coming from tape-recorder. Maybe I have an allergy of it.

WRITING CONTRIBUTIONS TO E-PORTFOLIO. In this third semester we were not accented in writing contribution. There are some in this blog. This task is easier than writing a summary. While you are writing a contribution you can use the creativity and it increases a better performance in writing. I like this task because it leads to learning and using new words.
