Witch activity best shows your level of English?
I think that the orals presentations shows our truely level of English. Because the speakins for me is the most important thing that you can learn. The dialogue is good too for show the level of writing. And the normal exam shows the level that we have on writing.


Witch activities were really useful for you to improve your English?
One thing very useful to improve the level of english I think that's travel abroad to a Anglosaxon country. There you can practice a lot your speaking of the english lenguage.
And in the class speak with anika is very good for improve the speaking.


Witch activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not?
All the activities that we do in the english class are useful. But I think that the blog and the portofolio are very labourious and we spent on there lots of ours. If we reduce the numbers of entries in the blog, for exemple, maybe we can see all of the mistakes.

Whitch activities did you enjoy doing and would you like to do again next year?
I enjoy do the orals expositions, and the speaking with anika.

Observing your portfolio, can you see an improvement on your level of English since September?
Yes, of course. My vocabulary is better and my writting too because I use lots of connectors. I think that this year we have done a good work.
Here my oral presentation of the 3rd term about the social topic: "the hooliganism"

Million dollar baby


This film: "Million dollar baby" is one of the best films that I ever seen. In his time the film wons some oscars becouse his plot is excepcional.


With a lot of famous actors like Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swang. The film show us one girl that she wants practice boxing but he doesn't find a good trainer. At the final the girl dies with a spectacular punch for the back.
I recomend you this film that is on the best films ranking!



Opinion text

An opinion essay

I think that nowadays the society is improving abot this social issue.
A lot of ONG's like Greenpeace, teach us about this social topic. For exemple, the ONG explain the global warming effect, the melting ice... etc. The ONG alert the world of the big problems that we have.
Another type of global problem is the green house effect that consists in the stocking of CO2 gases.

But we have to improve a little bit more because if we keep on like this, maybe in a century the Earth will disapear.
An opinion to stop polluting the world is to decrease the fuel and gasoil of every car, motorbike or vehicle.

Another new that I listened is called “Where are the Air Marshals?” and it’s about the absence of this type of police. His job consists on Project people who travel by plane and prevent terrorist attacks. They complain because there aren’t enough to guarantee people’s security. The interviewer insists to the policemen how are being interviewed which is the percentage of flies which are really covered by them. The policemen answer that it’s impossible to say, but only a few of them. Three expressions:Every single fly: cada vol concretIt’s such a small percentage: es només un petit percentageI don’t think you’d be far from the mark: no crec que estaries lluny de la xifra.
