English

I am weak at some things for English. First of all, it is comprehension. In comprehension, inference question are the worst. Most of the time i know the answer but not really sure how to express it. For use of own words, I am still not really that sure of the penalty words, except that they are not nouns. Linguistic and factual questions are better, though sometimes i may still get it wrong. Vocabulary is abit like inference to me, knowing the answer but not knowing how to express myself.
My summary is not really that bad,however sometimes I paraphrase too much and end up missing the key words, which was what had happened to my Common Test 2. There is nothing much besides paraphrasing and finding the points in summary.
Narrative writing and personal recount I am usually fine, but sometimes i make alot of tense errors. I do not really have that much vocabulary to use. I sometimes do not know how to express myself too, especially in personal recount where we are required to show, not tell."
I think i am quite bad in oral. I tend to get very anxious in oral and during the passage reading, I will stop sometimes just to catch my breathe! During picture discussion, I am again affected by my anxiousness. Sometimes i miss out on many points that I wanted to say. During conversation, I try to look at the teacher's eye but always tend to look elsewhere as I will get scared if I kept looking.
For grammar, I am generally fine but careless mistakes can cause me a lot of marks. I sometimes forget about some rules, like 'neither...nor' or 'either...or' .
That is most of the things I am weak in English, I am not very sure if i had written down everything but that is mostly it.
