Learning from feedback
It is an envelope. Nevertheless, it is not only an
envelope, because inside there is your essay with
the grade: "C". Additionally, there is a feedback:
that is useful. On the other hand, you are not quite
ready to read it. Never mind! Put it away for the
moment and read it at your next study session.
Feedback that tutors give after assignments is
usually about academic things like understanding
the concepts showing evidence and evaluating information; it can be about
structure, spelling and grammar. Moreover, sometimes general feedback or
a summary comes at the end. So, what to do with this feedback? Well,
the first question is: Do you understand it? If not, make a note of what
you do not understand. This is something you can email or call your tutor.
You can chat on your online study group. The next question: Do you agree
with feedback? If you do not agree, again you can contact your teacher
or online study group. If you're a distance learner, your tutor can clarify
her feedback by email, video calling or messaging online. You should make
sure you get everything cleared up. The most important thing is - what
you have learned from this feedback. You should ask yourself: What steps
can you take to solve problems and improve? You should take at least
one thing from the feedback that you will act on. In addition, it is useful
for you to keep the feedback safe, so you can refer to it later. Because
if you follow the suggestions, there's a better chance of getting one
of these in your next assignment.
I have a really nice and big school. Some students in my school think that school is really bored and uninteresting but I don't think so. School is place where I can learn new things and between learning I'm trying to get energy in cafeteria, I mean I'm eating. New day is a new informational packet and it's always different. School is place where between learning I also can discuss with my friends not only about school problems, with my friends I can talk about my and my friends' life. I can't even imagine my life without school because it's not only area where I can educate myself, it's also a big experience in my life working in a team with people of my and not only my age. Finally, I just want to say that I really like my school!
Thanks for your letter. Sorry I haven’t written for so long but I was really busy with my school.
You asked me: «How you met best friend and how you are going to surprise you friend on his/her birthday?». 5 years ago, we have moved to a new region, and I had to go to a new school. In our class had a pupil who immediately interested me. Her name was Sasha. It was interesting to communicate with her, she knew a lot. In a class all loved it. She constantly read at recess. We were going in the park and spending time on the party. Now, She is in different country but anyway we rewrite. And a real surprise for her to will be when I will come to it. How are you? Who is your best friend? How you spend your time?
Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework. I can’t wait to hear from you!
With best wishes…
