Structure and written expression were recognized asthe followingmost difficult parts. Many participants have forgotten the proper grammatical structures due to a long pcriod since their last grammar class, which might be caused by a lack of practice, distraction from extracurricular activities, or a general lack of enthusiasm. Furthermore, 16% of participants reported that reading comprchension was the most challenging part because of reading extensive phrases that were long, which frequently triggered dizziness and struggles with focusingon the computer screen.
