Self assessment - 2nd Term

This second term, English class has been amusing. Cristina teaches very well and clearly. In this term what I liked most have been the activities with Clarissa.
I think my strength is listening, because I like listening to songs.
And I think my weaknesses are vocabulary and reading books.
What did I do well in this term? I think I have paid attention in classes (I can do it better), I enjoyed them, I have enjoyed with the activities with Clarissa, like why did you said that…? or the games related with homonyms, homophones and homographs. The units I liked most have been: Crime and law and Things you can do with your mobile phones.
In the third term I must do more effort, especially in vocabulary, reading and writing. I also need to improve speaking. I have enjoyed a lot with the projects about different countries that my classmates have prepared.
In culture I have learnt about Nigerian talking drums and about the two men who stole identities (Frank Abagnale and David Hampton). Outside the class I did my project and homework, and I listened to English music. 
Next term I have to improve my English and my results.


I like most…
In English, Clarissa´s activities and Cristina´s project.
In Geography, maps and economy.
In Physical Education, badminton.
I didn´t like…
In Physical Education, football.





In English, vocabulary and reading.
In Geography, vocabulary.









Study harder and every day.
Travel to a foreign country with my group.
