MY SELF-ASSEMENT

This term I think I could have done things better like study the vocabulary a little bit more and also update the blog every day. 

I think that I have improve my grammar because it is the strongest thing I have. I do it better in the exams because of the videos and explanations that Cristina upload at the blog, and some of the videos are really funny.

This term we couldn't learn about the culture of USA because Clarissa comes few hours but we learnt about the 18th century in England because of the projects and also because of the reading book.
