I'm feeling about my English that I have to work to making better for too many reasons. First, in this course the most difficult to me is grammar, because it is hard to me write a paragraph in English, as you know it is completely different to write in Spanish, so I have to focus on that. To improve my English grammar I read the news about music or something that I interested, that help me to see the structure of the sentence, the verb, etc .This exercise help to me to realize what I have to consider when I write a paragraph.
Second, the vocabulary, it is something that I have to check every day, it will depend the unit that I have passed on class, for example: about topics like houses, school, etc. To improve this, my help come to the Internet, on there are so many web pages that you can find new vocabulary that you need to learn.

However, listening it is very easy to me because I can understand what are the people saying in English , for example : I can understand the context about some situations and instructions in English, but to improve much better this skill, I watch TV series without subtitles and listening a lot of music in English , that works for me.
Finally , the pronunciation sometimes is very easy and sometimes it is very hard at the same time, to improve this important skill I pay attenion in class when we are learning phonetics symbols, sounds, etc. These can help us to speak better .

High school has been the best period in my life. There are to many reasons to say that, because it was really fun, belong to that school. First, I met to my best friends there, Mauricio, Belén and Leslie. I participated with them in activities, like dancing and singing. The most important was my class mates help me all the time when I failed. It was the best moment in my life when I had been there.

Whath have I learned this semester?.....
This semester I learned a lot of things. First, in my first month, I learned about phonetics symbols , to improve that skill I was practicing a lot. Second , I learned new vocabulary every week, that was very useful for me. My new vocabulary it was about food, sports, travel, tourism,etc.
One interesting thing that I learned this semester it was how can you give directions. oH my God ! it was really fun try to found the way to spoke with other person about that , because it was not easy at the begining , but finally I learned how to do it!...
Other thing that it was difficult to me to improve and well now too , it was grammar , I don't know why was so hard to me learn that skill but I can say that I'm trying to do my best on it. Moreover, colocations, prepositions, and past simple , sometime it was complicated to understand , but now I am trying to understand how and when you can use it.
In addition to that , I learned what are the steps that you have to do to make a paragraph, those are, brainstorming , outline. Also I learned the steps to make a speech , those are topic sentence, controlling ideas, supporting sentences, and concluding sentence.
About my pronunciation, I learned how to pronounce the final sounds like , "T , S , K".
Finally this semester, I learned more things that I never tought . It was not easy but I realized that if I want to be a good teacher, I need to learn a lot and so much more.
