1. Think about your long-term goals. Why are you studying English?
          My long-tern goal is to work using English in the future. I will work on global world and talk with much more people. In addition, I want to study abroad in American University for that, because a common language is English in this world! That is why I should study English more harder.

2. What do you need to reach your goal?
           I need a TOEFL score, 70. Its tests use every English language; British, American, Australia, and so on, so I must handle them. And its area is almost of academic.

3. What is your current language level? Think of your strengths and weaknesses. 
              My strengths is listening and speaking. These skils are no problem in conversation with native English people. On the other hand, my weaknesses are writing. I type it very slow and also I have few vocabularies. These are my big bad point.

4. What are your learning preferences?
    
                  I like to watch videos of  lave romance. And my interest topic is world culture and linguistics. I always study in deep night, because it is very very quiet. I want to do alone absolutely: I desire not to interfere with anything.

5. Considering the above, make a plan for this class.
    
               I will study English using Ferris Lab, NetAcademy, textbooks, and videos in the library. And I plan to do in free time at classes; six hour per week.
