Self-Assesment

The English class this term has been great, we have learnt a lot of new vocabullary about the units we study, but also vocabullary that people use on their daily live like idioms and also expressions that Michael taught us.
I really liked Michael´s classes because he is so spontaneous, and he is classes are quite fun.
I did well in speaking and I learnt lots of new vocabullary very easily, futhermore I got used to answer questions with full sentences and not answering them with just a short sentence. I think I didn´t get confused about anything in particular but I have to work in translation.
Outside english classes, I also practise this language in an academy to prepare my self for the fist certificate exam. I learnt a lot about the history of advertaising and a lot of vocabullary used in America with Michael.
In Itc classes we have learnt how to use Gimp, a photo edition program, this program could make a simple photo look great.
In P.E. we have learnt how to play handball and also lots of facts about our health. We also have started practising badminton and self defense.
It hass been a great term. See you on Monday.

Final self-assesment

This year has been really full of new things, not just vocab, grammar and all this stuff. This year we have started learning how to use real english, to speak, to write... To comunicate in fact. We have improved so much our speaking, now we speak a little bit less like R-O-B-O-T-S and more like real english speakers. I have also had quite a lot of fun, in our lessons with Clarissa, or our pronunciation classes with Cristina that seemed to be more like drama lessons than english ones. I know you will think it´s just a joke but i think i would miss these classes this summer. See you on September.

Self-assesment

I have enjoyed this term in the english classes because we have done lots of fun things.

Now I can use a bigger variety of tenses like present perfect or past perfect.

I liked most, the games we play when Clarissa comes to class.

I did well in my last exam and i have really improved in the last part of the term.

I think i´m not confused about nothing, i have understanded everything quite well.

I go to classes twice a week and i have some friends in other countries and i have to speak english with them.

I need to improve in my organasation and hand-writing.

I learned lots of things about culture because i had been listening my classmates in their oral projects about many countries where english is speaked.

I hope next term will be even better. BFN

Agricultural landscape

I´ve chosen this landscape because it is the most common, in the of surroundings of our village. In this type of agrarian landscape are commonly grown cereals like wheat, corn, rye...
I it is classified like an open field agriculture because of its big size, and because of the lack of boundaries. It is a monoculture because there is only grown one type of crops. It can be both irrigated or dryland farming because the plans can survive if the rain is regular but if it isn´t the can be watered with irrigation systems.It is an intensive agriculture because the plants may irrigated and worked with machinery to get the highest productivity posible.

1.  Africa runs 5 000 miles from the Mediterranean sea all the way down to the cape of good hope and 4 600 miles from  the cape Verde  all the way over to Somalia.

2.      Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that  region  , you can see the same average  temperature and average  precipitation  what that means is that you also see very similar animals and plants  living in that region.

3.      The most famous desert in Africa is, of course, the Sahara desert. Now, some parts of the Sahara desert are   sandy  , like you can see here. Other parts of the Sahara desert are  rocky  but in either case, the fact that it is very  dry  is going to make it a very difficult barrier to cross.

4.      It is not the  rain  itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the biodiversity. There are many different  plants and animals   That can be found in the rainforest   and that’s one of the thing that makes the rainforestso  variable not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.

5.      The  Nile  is the most famous river in Africa, because is the  longest river in the world. But there is also the  Congo river  which is the  second longest river in the world.

6.      Africa actually has its own version of the  Great  Lakes with famous lakes like Lake Malawi  lake Victoria and lake  Tanganyika .

7.      All the Africa is a plateau. Meaning that Africa itself is an   elevated   land. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find any   mountains in Africa. You can find mountain ranges like, for example, the Atlas in northwestern Africa.

9.      The Great Rift Valley refers to a region of Africa that is  literally, being  split apart. There are some  tectonic plates  that are located within or near Africa, that are, actually,  moving away from each other, and what’s doing is creating not just some of the highest  elevations in Africa, but also lakes like  Tanganyika that is among the  deepest in the world.
