Compare your skills on your stairway or from your text boxes with a partner. Read them out loud like:
«I am very good at ______ » and «I am fairly good at _____» (for example: «I am very good at explaining something to others» or «I am fairly good at fixing broken things.»)
«I am not good at ______ » or «If I practice, I will be good at _____» (for example: «I am not good at cooking.» or «If I practice I will be good at counting.»)
Now change the roles.
