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.

VALLADOLID AND PEÑAFIEL TRIP

On Wednesday 4th of November,we went with Teresa,Gema and Luis and ,of course,all of our classmates and friends,to Valladolid.
We arrived there at 10:00 in the morning and we went to see the centre of this big city,we bought the lunch and some souvenirs to remember that day.Then we went at 11:00 to the Miguel Delibes Theatre to see a concert of Contemporany music,that in my opinion it was a little bit weird because the music and works were explained like a tail and I have never see that haha but I like it a lot.
When the concert finished we had lunch at a skatepark (that I liked a lot haha) near a Carrefour,where we went after having lunch.
At 15:00 in the afternoon we took a bus to Peñafiel,where we visited the Castle with the shape as a ship and with a lot of stairs to go to the top of it haha.Then we visited the Museum of Wine too,this was a little bit boring,because they didn't explained nothing to us about the process of making wine,but it was okay too.
Then at 18:30 we took the bus to come back to Villamayor.
The things that I liked more are,the trips in the bus,because you have fun with your friends and classmates singing and dancing and laughing too haha.I liked a lot Valladolid because I took a lot of pictures there and I like and know a lot of this city.I also liked the Castle and the very good pictures and memories of that visit.

I hope that we do more trips of this type because you learn a lot and you also have fun.
