Self assesment- First term 

This first school term is about to end, and I think this three months had been quite good.
This term we have done a lot of things, and I have enjoyed a lot our lessons. 
The fact that we are 7 at class has really made the difference. Now I like a lot participating at class, and practising my english with my other classmates.
I think I had improve speaking and listening.
Also, we have learned a lot of new vocabulary and expressions releated to personality and advertaising. Michael has teached us some idioms, wich I find really interesting.
But I think I haven't done the best of me. The next term I have to improve at grammar and traduction, because this term those areas have been a bit difficult for me.
What I have liked most is the "Heal the world" project. I think this kind of projects are really funny and enjoyable. Also, I have liked a lot Michael's lessons.
I am really excited about the second term. I'm sure it is going to be really good, and we will learn a lot of new things!
