LAST TERM!!!

SELF-ASSESSMENT

Before we go on holidays I want to do a brief self-assessment, so lets do it!

I think that such as the before evaluation I have improve a lot my vocabulary, every day I learn new words and with the project that we had to do I learnt new things about Australia and punishment in the 1800's. The thing that I like the most is classes with Clarissa she is very nice and I am getting used to her accent. 

I don't know what are my strenghts, maybe grammar,because I understood very good the passive and conditional sentences. My weakness such as the before evaluation is speaking, I don't know why.

I think that I have improve my English in all the ways and that's the important thing.

HELLO SPRING!!
