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 the goeography classes in English since Teresa has always given us classes in Spanish.
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 has been the translation and vocabulary for the rest I am quite happy.
For the following terms I would like to do more projects like the can not stop the feeling.
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.
