SECOND TERM. SELF-ASSESSMENT

Hi everyone!
We have finished the second term and now I am quite relaxed than the last two weeks.

But anyway,that's my business! This term I have learned lots of new things like all the different types of conditionals or the passive voice tense or a lot of weird vocabulary that I didn't know.

Other things I learned about are the type of food that is good for you and your organism. We also have revised the phrasal verbs and typical adjectives from technological devices.

We read a book of Edgar Allan Poe called 'The murders in the Rue Morgue and other stories'. For this term we have to read 'The Masque of the Red Death' and 'The Pit and The Pendulum'. I like the two stories but my favourite is the first one. It is about the 16th century and the plage that was devastating Europe. It shows an important message and 'lesson', which is that, everything you do, even is bad or good, will have impacts.

I think that I do a good job this term, but I can improve more in different skills like vocabulary or just study a little bit more, but because of all the things of the scholarship and the enthusiasm I haven't paid the enough attention :( .

But I'm sure the next and last term of ESO, I will rock it ✌

HOW CAN I BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Being environmentally friendly means having a lifestyle that are better for the environment.Its all about taking small steps to make this planet a better place for our next generations.

Be eco-friendly in the bathroom:

• Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth.
• Have quick, refreshing showers instead of water wasting bath

Think energy savings:

• Turn off the light whenever you leave the room, even if you are going to go back in a couple of minutes.
• Don’t have unnecessary energy running when you won’t use or need it. Switch off that CD player, and limit your TV 
• Turn off the computer when not in use.
• Keep radiators off when it's not terribly cold.

Think about what you throw away and what you could use more than once. 

• Reduce the amount of waste that is being produced, use things more than once, and give things to others that you don’t want any more.
• Reuse things that can be used more than once
• Recycle more. Paper, cardboard and cards can be made into something new. Put them into your recycling bin

Plant trees.

• They keep the land from eroding, they clean the air, they provide shelter for animals.

Use fewer chemicals.

• Use alternative cleaning solutions.
• Replace shampoos, conditioners and soaps with natural versions. Your body will thank you, too.

Never dump hazardous waste materials down the drain or into the grass.

• Paint, motor oil, ammonia, and other strong chemical solutions should not be dumped down the drain because they'll seep into the groundwater.

Change that light bulb

• we know they’d be replacing it with a CFL, or “compact fluorescent light.” Like most eco-friendly gadgets, they’re more expensive up front , but they use a quarter of the energy and last 10 times longer
