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!!!
