Trimester One Reflection

Ni hao! This is my Trimester 1 Reflection:

1) I'm really happy with my Mandarin Grades and Progress. My final grade was A+ and I worked really hard to achieve it.

2) I made a lot of effort in Trimester One. I achieved many goals. To achieve the goals I studied at home and worked hard in class.
a. I handed in my homework on time and completed properly.
b. I participated actively in the classroom.
c. My behavior was satisfactory; as at certain times I talked with my neighbor, or was distracted. But most of the time was behavior was very good as, I spent time making notes of the new words we learned in my character book and listening to Gu Laoshi.
d. For class work, I completed most of them, and if not, I completed it at home, though some of the assignments tended to be late.

3) a. I have achieved my speaking goal, which was being able to pronunciate properly. I still have room to get better, but I mastered it as much as I could in Trimester 1.

b. I also achieved my reading goal. I am now able to recognize all of the characters we have learned so far. I demonstrated this during our game of Around the World, with objects and rooms around the house.

c. For my Character Writing Goal, I only achieved half of it. I'm able to use all of the characters that I learned during the trimester and apply them to conversations with other people, but I don't know all the stroke orders by heart.

d. I didn't achieve my Listening goal as the goal was for me to figure out tone, just by listening to the word and use it in dictations for my pinyin.

4) My plan for Trimester 2 is to study hard, to prepare for my Unit 2 Test and to do well on the Test. I'd also like to master stroke orders as well as possible. Which I could achieve by noting them down in my character book, instead of just using it on character practice sheets. Another plan for Trimester 2, is to work harder on tone and be able to apply it to pinyin, or hear it. I need to promise myself that I will improve my behavior, and completion of assignments like THIS on time. I can do this, by organizing a schedule of times for me to do my Mandarin Homework. To improve my behavior, I can stop being distracted by my neighbor, and help those who don't understand the lesson.

I hope Trimester Two will turn out WELL!
XIE XIE!
