Self-assessment


Self-assessment is hard for me, because I am too critical of my myself. The simplest thing is to analyse another human‘s achievements than mine.


First, I would like to assess my performance in Moodle tests. It was the worst thing in English lessons for me, because my assessment was not very high. The biggest malady of moodle tests is lack of variants of right answers.


Second, it is the ESP definitions tests. The ESP test is a contrast to Moodle test. I have a great success in these tests. ESP definitions tests help me to learn vocabulary better than Moodle tests. I like ESP definition tests and I think that it is a good training aid.


Third, in my English classes is summary writing. I would like to commend by my self, because it was big progress for me from school times. I think that I learned how to write a summary.


Fourth, it is Power Point Presentations. I like presentations because it is imperatyve to have some special skills. I had to use accurate information, to communicate with the audience, to engage it‘s attention and be like a professional presenter. I think I did it well, because my grade was 10.


Fifth, it is listening in class. Listening was not very hard for me, because themes of listening tests were interesting for me. I like the theme about racism. It looks very real.


Sixth, it is a short talk or speaking impromptu. I am not good at speaking in English, I had always some problem with pronunciation. Speaking is an important skill to improve.


All things considered, I think that my achievements are not bad. They are much better than last term. The main reason of that is a large amount of homework, which I have done so far.

Mediation between neighbors






Mediation is a form of use appropriate techniques and skills to improve dialogue between disputants. In preventing a conflict between neighbors, was used a proccess which includes : consideration of one's neighbor's points of view, awareness of differences, keeping one's neighbors informed and demonstrating of respect.

Denise is 22 years old and she is living in the dwelling-house with her 60 years old neighbor Ms. Santiago. They both have a general yard. The dispute between women includes care of yard. Mediator suggest them alternative solution of the problem.

First thing mediator suggest is to considerate of one's neighbors points of view and make a plan of yard cleaning. Ms. Santiago assured that she is not being in the yard as often as it does Denise. Denise does not agree and say that Ms. Santiago with her guest being in the yard often.

Another step of resolving a conflict is awareness of difference. Ms. Santiago is older and diseased and she can't to cut the grass. Thus Denise always does this job and she is angry about that.

The dialogue helps to solve a problem. Was suggested to employ the gardener, which would come one time per month and may cut the grass for minimum fee. Mediator advertising in the magazine and worker was founded after two days. The last thing mediator have done is keeping neighbors informed about gardener month pay.

After problem resolution Denise and Ms. Santiago demonstrate respect for each other. Appropriate suggestions make a dialogue between disputants.
