SELF-ASSESSMENT

I really think this semester i have kept my level of English and i´ve been able to learn new vocabulary which comes really handy when i have to communicate with someone from the U.S. I also feel like i have lowered my grammar level this term but i will keep my chin up and keep on working, and with the help pf teacher Cristina that should be an easy task...
thanks to the new things i´ve learned i have been understanding better the tv series i watch ( without subtitles obviously lol) and have really improved my vocabulary.
in conclussion i think this was a great term for me and i want and aspire to do even better on the next one haha.
