Self-assesment of ESP learning

WRITING SKILLS.
This activity has some parts. Firstly, summaries which I manage sufficiently well. As far as ESP vocabulary test is concerned, I try to learn all the most important words, therefore it is not difficult to do it well. Moreover, dictations is rather hard to me because very often I do not understant what is dictated and how to write more difficult words. Finally, contributions to weblogs are very easy for me, just I need to know spelling better.

SPEAKING SKILLS.
To begin with, participation in class is very important activity, one problem for me is that very often I am not able to express my lithuanian thoughts in English. Secondly, presentations is not difficult for me, only problem is to find appropriate information. Finaly, speaking in pairs is activity that I manage quite well.

LISTENING SKILLS.
Listening activities in class in very difficult for me because I cannot understand what is said in records. I need simplier records. In addition to this, listening to podcasts is difficult for me too, perhaps I need to listen more in order to improve this listening skills.

READING SKILLS.
Firsty, home reading is not difficult because I use dictionary, only problem is to choose meaning which would be correct in given context. Besides, class reading is not hard also because all unknown meanings are explained by teacher. Finally, reading comprehension exercises sometimes create some difficulties because of phrases that meanings are understanding difficult.

One more thing should be taken in to consideration, responsibility and consequences of breaking intellectual property. In some case infringing copyright can be a criminal offence and result imprisonment, huge fine or compensation.
