SELF -ASSESSMENT

During this term, I find the vocabulary a bit difficult, so that's why I have lowered the marks, I trust that the last quarter I will get better marks in the exams with more effort.

My weakness is speaking, because when I talk out loud I usually get nervous and that makes me more difficult what I want to say.  And also a little grammar, because in some cases I don’t know what I have to use and I get confused. I consider I need to practice more.

My strength, I think, is the listening, because it's easy for me to understand English people, for example I usually listen to music in English and I also watch some videos or TV series.

In this term the proyects about the Gothic and Literature have been very effective, I have learned something new.
