Self-assesment 2nd term

I have found this term so short, haven´t you? It´s been like five minutes from Christmas to March.

But in this time, I have improved quite much my English, partly in class but also because I have started watching some series in original version in English, because chapters in Spanish come very slowly and I watch them too fast and anxiously to wait for the next one ; )

I have done well in Speaking, listening and writing. But my last exam in vocab, grammar and translation has been a little weaker. Even though I think I learnt more in this aspects of the English language because you tought us about pasive voices, conditionals, regrets, complaints, etc. The books were also full of vocabulary and new expressions wich we went through in the seventh hours.

I don´t really use the grids you give to do my self-assement, but I trust it is okey. 

I hope you all have a good easter break, BFN
