It was becoming increasingly apparent that her written work did not correlate with her oral ability. This became more obvious with demands on her to read more complex text and produce more lengthy and complex written assignments. Despite spending a lot of time and effort on her written work, it still appears to be badly organised, with mistakes in spelling and grammar.
