LAST POST

It's hard to end something that you has been doing for such a long time and you are kinf¡d of used to it.

Writing my last post on this blog is hard, for two year I have wrote lots of different posts that has helped me to improve my english and learn new things.

But everything has a final, and this has come. Thanks for this past to years and I'll always remmember my bretonian's blog.

This is over forever but it'll be forever in my heart.

BYE!



FINAL SELF-ASSESMENT

The end of the year has come. I can't belive 4th grade has already  gone! Thinking about this last term, I have realized that my English has improved a bit since the begining of the school year. At the first term, I wasn't so much confident, but as the course progressed I began to feel that I was learning. Especially, this term I've learnt a lot of grammar and vocabulary and also my listeing is much better. Even though my speaking isn't the best, now I'm able to speak more fluently and not being embarassed speaking in public. I also had great time doing all the projects.
I would like to  thank you, Cristina, for helping me improve my English and teaching us so much during this two years.
