    I have learnt to create a blog and lots of new vocabulary now I can express better in English. The thing I liked most was making the proyect of Can't stop the feeling and I think the results were amazing. I think  My weaknesses are the listening part and the reading. and also  my greatest strengths are translation and vocabulary. I did well my homework, but  I am confused a bit of the blog . I need help in grammar for me is the most dificult part . I need to improve organizing my notebook and blog. I learnt about culture , aborigines rites.
