Goal Setting
Task: Record a 2-minute answer: "Describe your English learning journey. When did you start? What have you tried? What is working well and what is difficult?"
"I started learning English at school, but I didn't practise speaking much. Last year, I decided to take IELTS and began studying seriously. I joined a course and found a teacher. Now I practise every day. The most difficult part is speaking, but I am improving. My goal is to get Band 6.5 by January."
