My Self-Assessment

In this first term I've improved my vocabulary because I have seen new words in class and also with Clarissa. As well I can explain myself better because I improved speaking.

I think one of my greatest strengths it's the grammar and the witting because the last year i learnt how to do an essay. My weaknesses are the speaking because I have to be in front of the class talking and I usually get nervous and the other weaknesses is the listening but only in some cases because I can understand perfectly my classmates and the teachers.

Out of the class I go to english classes with a British teacher taht helps me for improve my english.

I think the thing I have to improved it's study more the vocabulary because I know I can do it better

I didn't learn too much things about culture becuase Clarissa only come to class like four hours and we usually did games with her.
