ASSESTMENT OF YOUR ANSWER

Dear student, if you got scores between 9-10 correctly,

excellent! It shows that you understood and remembered what we
have discussed.
 If you got correct scores between 7-8, very good! You
remembered most of the things we have discussed. Check those
questions you did not answer correctly and see why you forgot
the answer.

If your correct answers were from 5-6, that was good. What
you have remembered were probably the ones close to your heart.
I suggest that you read the text again and try to answer the
question once more.

Finally, if have scores between 1-4, I suggest that you

read the lessons again and see where you have forgotten some
details. After reading the parts where you met some difficulty ,
try to answer the test again to see if your score will improve.
Good luck!
Goodbye now, dear student. I hope you learned a lot!
