SECOND TERM(SELF-ASSESSMENT)

Image
Good afternoon everyone! I can understand English music really good outside the class because I often listen it, I can speak and chat with people from other countries and I can understand long texts or TV programmes. I think Irene,Lucía and I did a really interesting project because not only we spent a great time doing it,but we learnt also a lot of history, music genres and very good films. I need to improve my writting because I don´t know how to explain the things that are in my brain and I have to be more confident when I do the exams because if I get nervous, I will get worse results. We learnt about the history of Valentine's Day, the Inquisition, gothic literature, healthy food, etc. Spend all of you a good Easter holidays!!!
