SELF ASSESSMENT FIRST TERM

During this term I have learnt a lot and I think I have improved my English  because I have been able to talk a lot in class specially with Michael and learning also new vocabulary. 
 I think my greatest strengths in English are  my speaking and the easy lerning of vocabulary. And one of my weaknesses is my writing that I need t practice a bit.
Now I know many ways to describe a person without using the common adjectives and a lot of information about advertising.  It has been very good term and we all have worked hard ! 
At ICT a have learnt a lot of ways to edit pictures so they look incredibly cool and social media information. And in P.E we have been taught about badminton and handball and a lot about healthy or unhealthy habits and we have done exercise very hard! 
It has been a great term!
