FINAL SELF-ASSESSMENT

The end of this year is so close… but I learnt a lot of things in the English class. For example I learnt how to do better the translation, because in the first term of the year, I was so bad with translation but nowadays I know how to translate the worst sentence of the world. Also I think that I improve in speaking because in September I don’t like talk and I prefer to stay in silence but now, in June , I speak more and better. About writing, I stay at the same level all the year. I also learnt about different cultures, countries and ways of be more environmentally friendly. I think the next year may be I’ll have to work more with the blog to have better marks. This was my English year and I hope Cristina teach me again in the future!!
