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!
