FINAL EVALUATION



FINAL EVALUATION:


This is my last entry in this portfolio, is dedicated to the final evaluation of batxillerat and the new project that begins with this promotion.
These two years we began a new project, a project with learned English. The project consisted in did a many strange activities, and obviously we don’t like it. We don’t like the changes.
In my opinion, now, I don’t like the changes too, in the class of English, but the prediction of the teachers, that it’s better for learning, it’s certain. This method it’s very hard, for the activities that we have done and all the time that we spend it, but now I see all my work and I’m feel proud; I know that my evolution is very small, if compare with my other companions, and my level is very low and I don’t now if I have the level minimum of batxillerat, may be no; but even so I have done an evolution with the level of 2006 at this year.
I don’t know what is the activity that shown better my level, may be when I read books, at the first always utilized the dictionary and the translator, and the last book that I read only I have looked some adjectives and some substantives.
The activities that considerate very useful for learn are the blog, always was complained with the blog and all the entries that you have done, but I learned so much doing this activity; also watching films, for the expressions and the colloquial English and of course the orals presentations, although I don’t like speak in public, the orals helped my with the pronunciation, and I think that one day doing to thanks you.
The activity that considerate not useful is the portfolio, why I can see my evolution in internet? I think that I can see my evolution in my house, no in internet because in internet everybody can see the portfolio and I don’t like it.
The activity that enjoy me was the songs; because was a unusual activity.
In my opinion the only activity that I don’t like me was the speak with Annika, because she are English and when I speak with she I’m feel stupid because my English is poor and I’m ashamed with my English.
I think that I write all that I thinking with this two years.
