First term- SELF ASSESSMENT

This first term has been incredible, I had a great time. Also known to our new teachers, most of them were new and the truth is that I have to adapt to the type of classes they give and especially to the exams. What I find the rarest thing to do is economy, is the fist time that I study this subject.
In English the classes have been very entertaining and at the same time we have learned English.
What I had the most cost of English. this term the hardest things for me has been the translation and vocabulary for the rest I am quite happy.
For the following terms I would like to do more projects.
In what I would have to improve is in the vocabulary especially and in the concentration when studying English, to be thinking in English and not in Spanish.
