VALLADOLID.

The 2nd of November, we went to Valladlid to see a concert, a castle and to see many wine. The teacher who take with us were Teresa, Luis and Gema. We stayed in Valladolid for eleven hours. Now I am going to tell you the whole trip for the beggining to the ending.
We had to stayed at the school early, at 8:30. We took the bus to Valladolid, that is 110 km away from Salamanca. When we arrived in Valladolid, we had a short free time in the city. I was with Christian, Miguel, Egoitz, Antonio, Adrian and Rodero and we were looking shoes at the Corte Ingles. Then the teachers called us to go to the theater, that is call Miguel Delibes. We saw Vox Balaenae with other schools, but we can't have a good time because the other school was talking all the act. I didn't like so much the act because I didn't understand the modern music, but I have to say that the musicians were very good and the play beautiful music.After the act, we had free time to had lunch. I stayed near the Valladolid football stadium, the Jose Zorrilla. I had lunch with Christian, Antonio, Rodero and Adrian at the top of a skate pitch. I ate a huge sandwich with a Coke. Then I went to a supermarket an I bought chocolate and chewing gum. Then we toook the bus to go to Peñafiel, a village of Valladolid. In the village, there is an amazing castle. At the top of the castle you can see all the village and also many kilometres away. Then we went to a wine exhibition. We learnt a lot about wine and its process. After that we took the bus and we went to Salamanca. I liked so much the trip an I hhpe that we can do more.

FIRST TERM SELF-ASSESSMENT

Well, my first term in English was great, but in the marks I think I can do it better, so in the next terms, I hope the marks will be betters, especially in translation. I can do many things that I couldn’t do before like speak better than other years because in this year, I have to speak always in English, without any Spanish. Other thing that I can do is improve my pronunciation, due to the exercises that we do at class with Clarissa. The thing I liked most was all the classes with Clarissa and the storytelling with the whole group. My greatest strengths was the grammar, because I study so much to have great marks and because for me is the thing I like more. My weakness strength was translation because I don’t study enough. I think I did many things well, I payed attention, I participated in class, I did all the homework… I don’t think I need help, but I think I have to study more to have the marks I hope. Outside the class, I listen to music in English but I don’t do more things in English in my free time. I need to improve at Translation, but I think in the second term I will have better marks. About culture I learnt a lot. In the first term I learnt about school trips, Australian aborigines and also about blockbusters. I hope the next term will be better.
