First term- SELF ASSESSMENT (English)

This first term was amazing. I like so much how our teacher teach us, it is really entertaining.
What I liked most was the video clip; the final result was really funny, and I think all of us did our best.
I think my strength is listening, because I normally listen music in English, and it helps me to understand what people say. Also, I enjoy writing, because I like it so much, and it is a good way to correct my mistakes. My weakness is speaking. Last year when we make oral projects in front of the class, y felt really embarrassed. I'm working on that! Now, I understand a lot better grammar, and this term we practise a lot that, and I think is easier for me now.
This term, I didn't did the best o me. Next term I should study more, especially vocabulary. 
To practise my English outside class, I usually listen English music, and some times I watch films in English with subtitles.
Definitely, this term I learnt a lot about so many things, Aborigines in Australia, movies... Also, I learnt a lot of things in Clarissa's lessons. They were really enjoyable, funny and entertaining.
Next term will be as this or better! Thank you so much for teaching us!

School trip to Valladolid

Some days ago, we went to Valladolid, and Peñafiel. First, we went to Valladolid. When we arrived, we visited the centre of the city, and we had some free time.Then, we went to the "Miguel Delibes", a theatre in wich we saw a concert of contemporaean music. When we finished, we had lunch and we had a really great time. One hour later, we travelled to the Peñafiel´s castle. First, we went to a wine museum, and then, we visited the castle. In my oppinion, it was a really intestering excursion, and we had a great time!

Glaciar Eyjafjallajökull
The climate is known as subpolar oceanic. It has got cool and brief summers,and soft winters, with temperatures that don't raise more than -3ºC. The warm North Atlantic Current ensures generally higher annual temperatures than in most places of similar latitude in the world.

Approximately three quarters of the island are barren of vegetation; plant life consists mainly of grassland, which is regularly grazed by livestock. The most common tree is the northern birch, which formed forests over much of Iceland, along with aspens,common junipers and other smaller trees.
