SELF-ASSESSMENT

Now I think I can express myself better, I can explain what I want too, I have learnt a lot of new vocabulary this term, expecially of crimes and I learned how to describe well a picture. Also I learned a lot of things of economy and the conomic sectors. In physical education I improved in badminton and I learned how to do an acrosport coreography. There are things that I like more and less than others and this term I like too much to do Kanya's project with Marina and Eva, because I have learnt many things that I didn't know, and also it wasn't a borring projet. Outaide the English class we have done the project as I thing before, but also we read a book of Marco Polo. I think I have to improve a little of grammar. About culture we have read about some criminals such as Franck Abagnale and David Hampton, and somethings about missunderstandings at travels.
