(reports & Essays)
Strong presentation skills

believe my ability to summarise is
where my weakness lie. In order
to maintain strong oral and
written skills I will continue to
write reports for college and
presenting ideas within my
current place of work. In order to
improve upon my ability to
summarise I must make use of the
support services available within
university and practice of writing
in a more concise manor.

other languages so this is an
area which needs further
I have dyslexia so my language
skills are compromised however I
have been using useful tools

ability and understanding. I do not
speak any other languages so this
skill is very weak.

been key, so this must be

building up on these.
