:?

I have to admit my strategies to learn another language are not excellent.When I answered all the questions from the questionnaires to see my strategies to learn a new language, the results were in the middle.The scale for the questionnaires were 5 always, 4 usually, 3 occasionally, 2 rarely and 1 never. I scored 13 in the questionnaire for a good planner, which indicates that I am a good planner. I am not agree with this because I never plan ahead if I have a project that will be due next week. I always do my projects a day before the date due.In the questionnaire of noticing problems I scored 13, which means that I am a good monitor. I am agree with this because I like to pay close attention to what is unclear or difficult for me. The questionnaire for solving problems my score was 11, which indicates that I am a good evaluator. I am not sure about this one, because I don't ask questions all the time and the only good think is that I notice when I am having problems with something. In the grammar questionnaire, my score was 18, which indicated that I have effective grammar learning strategies. I don't think this is correct because my grammar is terrible. I am bad in grammar. The vocabulary questionnaire showed that I am an effective vocabulary learner. I am agree with this because learning vocabulary is easy for me. I just need to take time to study the new words. In the reading questionnaire for reading my score showed that I am an effective reader which is true because I read a lot.If you read a lot if helps you to be a good reader and know the new vocabulary because of the context. The writing questionnaire showed that I used efective writing techniques. I am not agree with this because when I wrote essays I never used outlines before I wrote them. And I recognized that I need to be more organized when I have to write long papers.

Denise, I'm glad you took the time to do the questionnaire. The results don't tell you whether you are good at grammar, vocabulary, reading or writing- they just tell you if you have effective methods to learn those things. You have learned a lot of English since coming to the United States, so you are a good language learner. Read the different sections to find out how you can be even more effective.
