Headway Pre­Intermediate

Student: Aaron Del Pino Castillo

Grammar and vocabulary test : 6.2; Writing: 5.0; Listening:7.6; Reading: 5.0;
Speaking: 5.5

• Oral speech (Listening and Speaking)
Aaron, you got medium results in this exam. In the Listening exercise you made just a few
mistakes - 4 mistakes out of 17. It is clear that you are able to find out the main ideas in
oral texts. If you like to improve your skills in this language aspect it is a good idea to
listen English speech as much as possible (listen to songs, watch films, listen to radio
programmes). As for speaking, you are able to express your ideas in English with some
mistakes.

• Written speech (Reading)

As for Reading, it is very important that you can find key moments fast, a small problem
exists: restricted vocabulary (to enrich your vocabulary you can read English books,
adapted to your level). Constant reading can improve not only your vocabulary but also
your grammar.

•  Grammar aspect 

In your grammar test there are enough mistakes. The main problems are the usage of
Present/Past Simple and Present/Past Continuous tenses, please, pay a special attention
to the peculiarities of the definite and indefinite articles. It is true that usually for the
majority of all the students the main problem is to remember past forms of irregular words.
The only way out is to practise doing grammar exercises as much as possible.

• Written speech (Vocabulary)

Good level. It is a very good idea to learn new vocabulary units not separately but in
their most used forms, word combinations. In general, you can use new vocabulary
units in new situations. Use any possibility for communication! Practice writing short
compositions! Go ahead!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
