SELF-ASSESSMENT - FIRST TERM


I'm sure I have improved my expression in English, I mean, doing some funny projects and watching some videos, listening to music, etc. is a better way to teach English, and now I can understand the lyrics of a song better than before and also some dialogues from series.

I studied more than the last year and that's good for me, I'm not usually get confused about anything and I don't need help with anything.

I really need to improve my speaking in class and to participate more.

My weaknesses is the translation, for me, it is very hard to study I think that my problem is that sometimes is hard to find the concrete expression that you want or there are some words that I know how to use because of the context but I don´t know the exact meaning in Spanish and vice versa.

The thing that I liked the most was the music video Project I had a great time filming it, and I loved the result of all of our work. I also like the days that Clarissa come to our class. It is very interesting to know someone from that far and to learn a little bit more about other cultures.

In this term we learnt some interesting information about the growing up in Australia and New Zealand, exchange programs and movie genres. Also in geography I learnt things about the natural environment and the population in the world.

I am happy with this school year and I think that I am going to learn a lot.
