In
this entry, I have to do a final reflection about my English. First, I have to
say that when teachers talks to us we have to do this task, I’m very happy
because it means that we are reaching the end of the school year and it is the
best news now, because this
year has been very difficult and stressful.
Regarding
to my evolution and progress in English, I think that the best way to look at how
much I have improved throughout batxillerat is by comparing my first writing
with the last one. In this way, althought it’s difficult
for me, specially, the grammar and I make a lot of mistakes in this aspect, I
observe a big progress. The first one is in the fluency, because now I takes
less time to do writings when I do compositions. The second one progress I
observe is that now I don’t have to use too much the diccionary. The last big change has been the way of own writing that I have acquired.
In addition, I have also denoted other small improvements, such as vocabulary.
In
summary, this progress can be seen if we read one of the first news in first of
Batxillerat and, then, we read the last one:

(First term first Batxillerat)

(Third term second Batxillerat)
Apart
from writings, from my point of view, the progress in English in a student also
can be seen in his oral presentations. In this way, I also seen progress in the presentations. The most
importants are the pronunciation and the body language.
Although I observe a progress, I also have to say that
there are a lot of things I have to improve, for example and the most important,
in writings, the grammar, and, in oral presentations, I don’t have to be shy
because it affects on my mark and I also have to improve the body language and pronunciation,
because, although during this two years I improve it, I have and I can do it
better, especially if I continue studying English and it is what I want to do.
After this analysis of my evolution, I want to show which
I think is one of the best composition I have written and uploaded to the blog,
in this way can be seen my English level. So, I don’t know which one is the
best and that’s why I want to show two that I like it the most: Letter to a friend who is addicted to her phone and
writing about soulmates.
Apart from the fact that they are two of the writings
whit the best mark, I would like to comment that I have chosen them because
they are two compositions that show the evolution I have done. So, in this two
task I have improved over the others in the structure, because now I know a lot
of connectors, in grammar, because now I know more things like passives or
conditionals, in vocabulary, because now I can write with propriety and
fluency, because now I can elaborate writings faster than when I begin in
batxillerat.
Finally, I want to share what kind of activities we did
in class with teachers that help us to learn and improve English. The best one
I think that is the blog because along the school year we did a lot of writings
and it helps a lot to improve in all aspects. Then, there are more activities
that help us to learn, for example, songs or oral presentations. But I think we could also have done more debates between the whole class.
Definitely, during this two years I observe a very big
progress in English but I know that my level isn’t the best and that’s why I
have to continue studying English.
