When you look at what is in your portfolio, how can you tell your English has improved?
(written during week 17 of a 23 week cycle)

"Since I started learning at this class, I fell my English has improved. Such as when I watch TV and listen to the radio, I can understand more than before. And also I have more confidence to talk with other people. Such as when I go outside I can talk with someone and on the telephone."

"I am working on grammar, writing, essays, reading, idiom and comprehension in ESL Transitional Program. I visited Bunker Hill Learning Center once a week discussion group and worked on the computer… I have improved my English a lot… I can talk English with American people at work. My reading and writing skills are also better then before."

"The time passed very fast, our study is almost finished. When I reviewed my achievement, I found that I made great progress in my English studies. For instance, my reading skills are improving. I read the newspaper, letters and books more often than before, and my writing is improving too. Although I feel writing is still difficult for me, but I still keep doing it, after I finish each essay I feel very happy…
I'm very sorry that the class end very soon, and we'll go to Bunker Hill College to continue our study, it will be another exciting day!"
