This is the second term project that I did about Transportation in the 18 century with Alejandro. I hope you like it, we work really hard!

Spring has come so, let´s make the most of it!! ☺
 

VOLLEYBAL EXERCISES:

1. Describe the volleyball court:

    The field is a rectangle of 18 by 9 metres, divides by a center line, leaving two halves of 9x9               metres each. From 3 meters to the center line is located the line of attack. The 3 "zagueros" cannot     exceed or steeping the line for an attack so as to exceed the height of the network, that to say, the         zaguero players cannot jump to attack in front of that line, but they can from the ground.

2. Describe the score in volleyball:

    Every time a team wins a rally, they get a point and the right to serve.A set is won when a team           gets 25 points, with two points diference over the opponent, that is to say, if the score reaches 24-       24, continuous until one team gets two points of diference. The winner of the match is the team           that wins three sets. When the two teams are tied at 2 sets, playing a fifth and final set to 15 points.     In this case, also be achieved in two points of difference.

3. Tell me two actions that you can do:

    -Touch the ball with every part of your body.
    -You can start the game from anywhere behind the baseline,not only from the right side of the line.

4. Tell me two actions that you cannot do:

    -Two consecutive touches except after making a block, it doesn´t count as touching.
    -Exceeding completely with one or both feet the center line of the field.

5. Tell me the logical order of playing:

    The three basic touches toavoid the ball touches the ground of the field itself and pass to the                 oppositve field are:
       -Reception/ Defense: This first touch is normally used forearm pass, although you canuse the               finger pass.
       -Set up: The second pass and the setter usually performed by fingers pass, but if necessary can             also use the forearm pass.
       -Smash: Normally carried out by players who are in a forward position, although it can be made           by players who are always behind them if they do not trespassing the line of attack,just three               meters from the net.

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!

Here is my gif, I hope you like it! ❤
