NEW YEAR!!!

A new year has started in the Tomas Breton. 4^th is here and in the bilingual section is a year to hard work. In this year I am going to study hard because it’s the last year in the high school and I think the best way to finish this period of my life is with a smile and no with tears jeje and also because I don’t like when my mum get angry. I will be good behaviour and I will pay attention in class. I will improve in the translation and in the listening and I will try to speak always in English. Also I will do the best in grammar, speaking and writing. And of course I will have fun in the English class. Come on!!! Let’s start working!!!

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!!
