Many students ask me how they can check their progress. I think a good way to see if you are learning well is to do a self-assessment(自我评价).

A self-assessment is often in the form of questions about what you have learned in this unit. By answering these questions, you can find out how you have learned. In this way, you can learn more about yourself and about your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know your strengths, you will be more confident; once you know your weaknesses, you can concentrate on(集中注意力) improving them. Many textbooks today have a self-assessment page at the end of each unit. It’s a good idea to do self-assessments regularly. You can do it at the end of the day or week, or after each unit. A self-assessment doesn’t take long. Once you do it regularly, you will find that it can really help you become a better learner.
