SELF-ASSESMENT - THIRD TERM

The end of the year has come. Probably this the one of the years that I learned more English, especially I learned how to express myself, a lot of grammar, and also a lot of vocabulary.

At the first term, I wasn't so much confident, but as the course progressed I began to feel more confident while was learning.

Even though my speaking is still not the best, now I'm able to speak more fluently and I get a bit embarrassed speaking in public.

I am really happy with my teachers, I love their style of teaching, they make the lessons really easy-going.

I enjoyed so much the classes, they were very funny and I had a great time doing all the projects.

I am really happy with my work, with all that I have learned, in conclusion I am really happy with all of the aspects of the subjects.

Happy Summer and be careful with high temperatures!!!
