Reflection

I am satisfied with my mandarin grade and my progress. I didn't really have to put effort in because most of them were stuffs that I already knew. I was often bored, however I tried to focus on the class because their could be any things that I can miss. In trimest 1, I participated in the class to answer questions but not very much in the activites. I fzinished all the class work and homework on time. I improved especially in the writing part. My goal was to know how to write more simplified characters and I sucessed. Now I know much more characters than before. My plan next trimester is to do extra works to improve character writing and not just writing but more of other things like speaking & listening.

What is your difficulty in learning Mandarin?



_It is difficult to recognize simplified characters because I learned Chinese characters in traditional way. Another difficulty in learning Mandarin is the tones of each character. It is easy for me to memorize pin yin and characters but is hard to memorize tones because every character has different and same tones.

Please list your goals in different areas:



Listening: ___________Being able to listen and understand more advanced words and distinct the four tones of the Chinese characters._

Oral: ________Being able to speak with more advanced vocabulary words._

Reading: _____ Passing HSK level 4 reading comprehension test.

Character Writing: Passing HSK level 4 reading comprehension test.

Classroom participation: __Get at least A on overall classroom participation points._



For achieving my goal, I would like to do:



Listening: __Learn more vocabulary and its tones with my class and in academy.

Oral: _Speak more frequently so I can see what kind of vocabulary words are needed for me.

Reading: Memorize 1200 Chinese characters so I can recognize them when taking the test.

Character Writing: Memorize 1200 characters so I can use them when taking the test.

Classroom participation: _Get more involved in classroom activities.
