END OF YEAR SELF-ASSESSMENT

Well, last term, last post, last year at the high school. What can I do now? Next year I will study at the Lucia de Medrano and I will study subjects bound to medicine. I hope to go with my friends in the same class. About studying English, I think next year is perfect to start going to extra classes to improve and learn more. Also next year, I will try going abroad to improve also. But how was this last term? The last term has been great. I have learnt a lot. By subjects, in English, I think my best skill was Speaking. I think, in my project, I was very good, with a lot of confidence. Also I was not nervous, which was a big problem when I started the High School. Also I was great at Translation. I have improved a lot in this aspect. My worst skill this term was Writing or Vocabulary. In ICT I have learnt a lot. Maria is a very good teacher. We have learnt how to do a “infografía”. In this project Paula was my partner. Also we did an awesome project in which we had to wear as a painting. I made American gothic. It was amazing. I have passed a very good time. In the last bilingual subject, EF, I enjoyed too much. I learnt how to play volleyball, how to jump. This term we had to make a class. I learnt how to be a teacher for one day. I didn’t like. But in general I laughed a lot, I learnt a lot and I enjoyed a lot. What a form to finish this year. I will never forget this school year. Good luck to everyone in the future.

2nd TERM SELF-ASSESSMENT

In the second term, I have learnt many things in every bilingual subject. In ICT for example, I learnt how to work with inkscape and we had create a logo. Also I learnt how to do a data base and I think I have worked so well. In PE, Chuchi have spoken us about healthy food to help us in our life. Also, we learnt how to play baseball and badminton. Finally, we were working in our body expression and if I am sincere, I don’t like this part of the term but I did my best, of course! And in the last bilingual subject I have done a great start and I am finishing very bad. In vocabulary I can do more if I study better. It means that I have to search new expressions and new words and after that, try to understand. I promise that it is going to be better in the next term. In grammar I think I have done a good job. It’s my best virtue. Also I think I have improved in translation, but I can do it better. I think this term was great about how the classes were and how I had fun with my friends but I am not very happy with my last exam because I studied just a little. So, in conclusion, I think if I work hard, my marks can be great but if I am lazy, my marks are bad. Therefore, in the 3rd term I will work hard because I think my marks can be better and I like having 9 and 10. It’s time to keep working. Come on!! Not stop!!

SELF-ASSESSMENT

In my first term, in every bilingual subject I learnt a lot. In English for example, I can talk better so it means that I improve my pronunciation. I think Michael's classes are very productive because he teaches very and clear so it makes the English easier. In Maria's subject, I learnt how to use gimp, the cheap Photoshop. Also I knew new things in P.E. like how unhealthy is a Kit-Kat. In the different classes I had fun whit my classmates, for example with the games with Michael and the P pronunciation, also how to erase the wrinkles of the face or the stories that Chuchi told us. All those things were fun and also I did it well, but I think that my best virtues are the grammar and the speaking in English. In ICT, my sustainable development project was so good and in P.E. I did extremely well the Handball exam. But like everyone there are things to improve, like for example the translation, which is the worst thing in English. Also I can improve my computer' skills. Finally I think this term was great and I am very proud of my work but I can give more. It is time to keep on working without stop. Come on!!!
