With Cristina as my English's teacher I improve a lot my speaking and my exercises about listening,I also know a lot of technology and how to manage better Blogger.I learn more with this way to work than with the normal one because this way is very funny and entertaining and you learn the things faster than with the other one.

I like the most the projects that we had to do it by groups like the videoclip,because it is a good way to learn very useful expressions and while you are learning you have fun with your friends,and you feel more confident and relaxed than if we have to do that projects alone or with our parents.

My greatest strenghts I think they are vocabulary and writing and also grammar I think...nut my weaknesses are...listening and vocabulary sometimes because I normally get confused with some of the words...but I do my best!

I think that I need help sometimes with the oral expression because when I talk I don't know if I am doing it well or bad hahaha yeah...I know quite weird...

Outside class I use English when I watch a film which has not been released in Spain,but I have fun too...I also use English when I listening to music because I like much more English music than Spanish music and I like to understand what I am listening to.

I need to improve my oral expression and a little bit my listening.

I learn a lot of things about cultures because this book is amazing for this topic,I learn for example about an instrument that I didn't know that it's Digeridou or about Australian people.

I think I improve a lot my English and I am happy with this term.
