SELF-ASSESSMENT

To start with, I think that I can do lots of different things that I could´t do before, such as talking with more vocabulary and expressions, knowing how to control some topics about gramar and so on. Also, I´ve learnt some things about Arizona, where Clarisa lives and that´s great!
However, I still have had some weaknesses like how to do some tasks related with the blog or organasing my notes with the vocabulary that I´m going to post in it later.
On the other hand, I did well in speaking because is one of my favourites parts in English. You can comunicate with other people all around the world, know how to manage in different situations and places and you can travel almost wherever you want! Whereas, I need to improve some topics like    I´ve said  before like updating the blog more often or even things related with organisation.
Furthemore, I really enjoy the proyects such as the video of the song "Cant stop the feeling" because I think that you can have fun, spend time with your classmates and also learn English in different and amazing ways. Cristina plays an important role in that part because with her actitude and her way of teaching, she makes us loving English like I do!
To sum up, I need to work on some parts and try to improve them for the next term but with work and dedication, I´m sure I will achieve success. So, let´s try to make the most of the English class!
