<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">My self-reflection about my experience applying an
exam<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">My first experience applying an exam was very hard,
because I didn´t know how to do a good scholar exam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At the beginning, I have some problems about how to do
it or what format I could use, therefore I went to look for some examples of
test, some actives and how to put them in practice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I did an exam based on grammar about present perfect
simple and present perfect continuous, during the process doing it I had some
mistakes that I corrected them that is why I have two drafts, however I
couldn’t apply the exam, so the students had a full schedule with the teacher
in charge because they had to apply an filter exam. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So my first exam couldn´t be applied, I had to design
other more, as well as the first one, the new was about grammar using the modal
verbs can and must, although the new one had to be more like a quiz, because
the students and the teacher in charge don´t have mucho time and I had to apply
it in one of my class in a short time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In spite of my difficulties I applied the test and I
can say that was gratifying, so I could leave the stress out, besides I felt
very well seeing the students solving an exam designed for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the feedback the students told that the exam wasn´t
difficult, but they didn´t pay attention very well to some question that is why
they had some wrong answers. Moreover I felt very happy because the students
and the teacher told me the exam was clear, concise and well-structured. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To sun up, this experience was very hard, however
during the process I enjoyed it and I am very satisfied with my work. This made
me see other aspect of being an English teacher and now I want to go ahead with
the process to become an English Teacher. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">My work

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">During the time that I have studied at Language School, I had had many
friends and partners for working in my classes and my homework, however when I
was studying the fourth semester I found two people who became with the time my
best friends and my perfect team for working in the school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Those guys are Joel Kenneth and Huber Alexis in whom I have found the
perfect attitude to work in team, because of supporting each other. We have
different way to think, but that hasn´t been an obstacle in our friendship nor
in our homework, because we complement our ideas together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Joel Kenneth, in my opinion, he is who knows more about English, in
addition with his competences of working in team, his responsibility, and the
way he works and his knowledge make us a good team work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Huber Alexis, the voice in our mind as I named him, due to the way he
always press for working, because he always follows the rules, so sometimes
Kenneth and I lost the road. Alexis is a responsible person and always shares
that feeling to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> These people that I mentioned,
Joel and Alexis are considered my best work partners and my best friends, but
all over with the affection that I have them, they are my brothers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Since I
stated to study the University, I work at nights on weekends, therefore my
Fridays are always difficult, and because of staying awake during a scholar day
is too hard. Sometimes I fall asleep in the classes, other times I don´t arrive
to the school or if I arrive to the school I don´t get in to the classes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Some teachers have
told me that I have to find other job, because this one makes me get bad
grades, however my job is very gratifying, so I earn much money to pay my
school, my personal thing and I can contribute in my house with money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I have studied in
this degree for 3 years as much as I work at nights that is why I am accustomed
to stay awake on Fridays and try to do my best in those days. In some classes
is hard to be wake, but I try to pay attention, some teachers understand my
condition and help me, some others not, because they think that the life is in
that way and I have to solve my problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">In spite
of my condition on Friday days I am doing my best, I have arrived until sixth
semester with ups and downs. Knowing that my effort has been very hard, I can´t
surrender in my goal, because I will achieve to end my degree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">When I said going back to the past I referred to talk
about my friends while I got into the university.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I remember when I was in first semester I did not know anybody in the
school, but I recognized a guy who applied the admission test in the same room
with me, so with him I did my first friend in the Language School, that guy was
Elmer, one the person in the image.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As everyone I had a group of friends, we were 6 men. All
of us we felt identified each other’s, I do not why but we were the only guys
who were a big group of friends, the whole class indented us very fast. We were
Bernardo, Juan Carlos, Elmer, Pepe and Alexis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For third semester we were a group of friends that the
whole school knew that is why we have many friends in every classroom. In those
I met to Asael, the guy who is in the middle of the image, although he was a friend
of a different classroom, he thought us many thing to face the difficulties in
our degree, because he was in the last semesters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nowadays we are in different classroom, due to different
interests, some others did not pass some subjects, one is in other school,
however we still keep our friendship, in spite of being separated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
