EVA SÁNCHEZ PORTFOLIO 4ºA

This is probably the last trip we do all together bretonians. This four years have been wonderful, I havw a lot of new people, I have learnt a lot of new things and I will keep all this memories for the rest of my life. I love english, because since I was very young, I have been studying it outside tge school. This has helped me a lot al the time of learning new things and remembering the old ones. In english classes we have made a lot of fantastic projects, like doing a representation of a restaurant, Hammlet and the Lion King, Carving a pumpkin, some musical videos... I will forever remember the feeling I had the first day of school, I was so nervous that I couldn’t even sleep the night before, because I wanted to grow up really fast, now I realize that every step of our lives is diferent and unique.  Thank you Cristina, for being an awesome teacher, because you always want to help us and make us improve in all aspects. The thing I like the most is your enthusiasm when you teach...

SELF-ASSESMENT In this second term self-assesment I think I have improved some aspects, like vocabulary, in general I have had better marks in the exams, because I have studied it more.

I hope to improve some things in the next term and get better marks.
