End of Quarter 2 Feedback

One of my goals for Quarter 2 was speaking more in discussions and classes but I can see that I didn't reach that goal as I didn't get good grade for oral communication. Another goal was to improve my use of vocabularies, and I think I met this goal but not completely. I did well on vocabulary quizzes and learned new words and used them on my Africa research paper. My last goal for Quarter 2 was to get a better grade on writing assignments. I think I reached the goal because I got A's on my writing assignments.
Firstly, one of my goals for Quarter 3 is to speak more in class. I'm trying to meet this goal for third time as I haven't met it till now and I'm not earning really good grades on my presentations and discussions. Secondly, another goal is to improve my reading skills such as the speed because I'm quite slow in reading that I'm always the last one to finish reading handouts. Lastly, my very last goal is to improve my vocabulary skills. I sometimes use some words in a wrong way and I usually use same boring words over and over again as I don't know any synonyms for those words.
