English background From this year some kind of new lessons are added to our schedule. One of them is “Methodology”. From this course we are learning about the successful methods of teaching and learning English. The task was given to us that we had to observe a first year student. So I chose one of the first grade student whose name is Behruz. He is a freshman in our faculty. He studies in 130-group in the initial faculty. Though he is young, he was able to enter the university in his first attempt. After taking permission from dean of our faculty to entire the lessons, I participate his lessons and took the interview. He is well educated and open minded person in real life. He interests many kind of cultures in the world so he want to know diffirent kind of foreign languages: such as Spanish, Italian and German.
Additionally his most lovely languages are his native language is Uzbek and he puts the English to second. So he wanted to study here and he also mentioned that wanting the translating diffirent kind of well known persons books from English to his native, thus he can reach to share the culture also books from English language spoken countries. To my mind he very hard work student and he will achieve his all goals.
Analysis of reading skills For knowing his knowledge on reading I gave him some kind of reading passages to work on it. From my research on his lifetime in university I know about him on knowledge reading so I gave little bit difficult passage to work him. While I was checking his answer I was sure once time again his knowledge. Because his answers’ nearly all of them were true. It took about 40 minutes to do them. I have met this kind of clever young on reading even me usually spend approximately 60 minutes on reading. I think he will achieve his all goals in his life I’ll say good luck him.
Writing analysis Commonly people come across the difficulties on writing and always on writing skills people take lower score than other skills like listening reading as well as speaking. So it is natural that everyone make mistakes in writing. Before writing we together analysis the topic how to write. And I gave some useful information way of writing. After writing the essay I checked into it and I can say that his writing skill is little bit lower than other his skills. However it was well thought meaning and its structure was very concrete and he tried to give all meaning about topic. However, there were some kind of grammar mistakes and lexical recourses. For example, he used the “number” word instead of using “ rate” and “ amount” words. On his essay I found also his thesis statement and conclusion was not the same meaning with the topic and it is said out of the topic. And he did not use some kind of linking words such as but, however, in additional and others.

What about goals in life Knowing the diffirent kind of foreign languages can give some advantages both type of country budget and also for people. And actually question may come across to us how knowing the foreign language is can give some profits for government. Let me clarify that meaning first of all if you know foreign language you can go there without any kind of difficulties additionally can know history well better than before knowing. Secondly that country’s culture and literature. As we know some well known writers come from England such as London and Shekspir and others. Their books are very well organized so I respect them. Additionally not only for translating or for traveling but also teaching the our country’s pupils to learn foreign languages as a result our future will be mor clever than now and us. Because if youth go to the another countries to continue their education then they may effect of their minding can just improve and then after graduating they may use their useful way of theaching methods in our country.
