First term.

Self evaluation.

In this term, we learnt a lot of things, for example: we read some things that we didn't know about  Ireland, the rules of Spain and of the USA; at Michael's class we learnt some things about USA and Spanish differences (houses, traditions...). My favourite project of this term was the Storytelling. I think I have to improve a little bit more the reading because I'm a bit  bad in it... But I'm well at the grammar (this term). Outside of the English class, I listen a lot of English music and I read in English too.
