## 1a. Setting up your Portfolio

You only have to do this step the first time you do this Route. If you've done this route before, simply add your new term's work to your existing tile!

You're going to keep track of your progress and growth in a portfolio. This is a collection of everything you do to improve your English: written work, vocabulary lists, recordings, reading or listening tests etc. Follow the steps below to set up your portfolio.

➜ Make a new tile in Egodact and call it Cambridge English Portfolio.
➜ Fill 'Mijn Motivatie' with 5-10 sentences about your motivation. Ideas: write down what you find so interesting about English, how long you've had the feeling that you're good at English, why you would want to put in the extra effort to do this extra exam etc.
➜ Fill 'Wat ik er al over weet' with a self-assessment of your English. Discuss your command of vocabulary, grammar and your level of writing, speaking, listening and reading skills. What are you especially good at? What might need some more work?

Over time, you will fill the logbook with your work. The quality of your portfolio will determine whether you will be selected for the actual exam, so it's important to do your best!
