We are back
Hi,
teacher and classmates! This term is the last one at this high school and I would like that this term
would be the best one. I can’t believe that this period of time is going to finish in some months. Time runs very fast! And we have to grow up slowly but well, studying and enjoying, listening to everyone and speaking, reading lives in books and writing our own one with energy.
 |
| A year, plenty of ... study hard. |
 |
| Like queens! |
 |
| Enjoying with books. |

Final self assessment - 3rd Term
This year it was incredible! We learnt a lot of
vocabulary, grammar, other kinds of culture or other ways of life.
I have learnt so many things! When I started
the year I was so quiet, but now I think now I speak more fluency and I have a
better pronunciation. Also I have improved in translation because when the year
started I didn’t know so good how to translate a difficult sentence but now I
know how to do it. I think this year we learnt so much, I enjoyed a lot all
classes. Also, I liked our classes with Clarissa, because we learnt other style
of English and knew other cultures... We had to speak more with Clarissa
because we had an opportunity to speak
with another person from other country. But classes with Cristina were
fantastic! I had learnt so much! We had improved our English, we had learnt how
to translate better and also how to speak in different situations.
I would like to learn many things with you next
year!
What I liked the most in the different subjects
has been:
P.E: this term I enjoyed too much, because we
did enjoying activities like: volleyball or how to use a compass. But, I think next
year we could practice other sports outside the high school like going out with
the bike or going to a swimming-pool.
Geography: I have learnt so much vocabulary
that I will use, also I have learnt how secondary and tertiary sector are
formed. And finally, I have learnt the history of EU, its composition and
functions that I didn´t know. In Geography I prefer Physical Geography. It´s
more interesting than Political Geography.
Have an amazing summer!
Thanks, bilingual teachers.
