1) Writing a summary
It in not easy for mw to find the gists, what tense should be used and how long it should be. Also it takes time and concentration, for these reasions it was one of the most difficult task for me, but hopefully it is more easy for me then it was at the begining.

2) Performance in ESP vocabulary tests
The marks are quite good, I payed bigger attention to it this year then I did before, so I am happy about it.

3) Performance in class dictations
It was one of the most difficult task, for this reason I did not like it. On the other hand, it is very very useful practise which gave a lot of good aspects in learning.

4) Listening practice in class
It is always useful to do listening and i believe that in listening tests I will be quite good and I hope that in future we will practise listening more.

5) Listening to peer's power point presentations
One of the most interesting activities. I like it because you get a lot of new information, to learn how to behave in front of people, how to cope with stress and also can as questions.

6) Making power point presentations
It is hard task, you have to pay a lot of attention to it if you want to succeed.

7) Short talks one the ESP themes in class
It is very important because we do not have a lot of apportunities to communicate with people in ESP so it is very good practice.
