SELF-ASSESMENT - FIRST TERM

This term I've improved my vocabulary in different situations, for example, talking about something with different adjectives, I learnt idioms that are so interesting, also I learnt how works an application with the settings in English or doing a sport lesson with the explanations in English.

My weakness is speaking, because when I talk out loud I usually get nervous and that makes me more difficult what I want to say.  And also a little grammar, because in some cases I don’t know what I have to use and I get confused. I consider I need to practice more.

My strength, I think, is the listening, because it's easy for me to understand English people, for example I usually listen to music in English and I also watch some videos or TV series.

Il liked the activities we did with Michael because we can listen to a person from USA, but someones are a little boring, also, in some cases he exaggerate the pronunciation a lot and the words are very unnatural, I mean, the people usually don’t talk in that way.
