LAST TERM - FINAL TASK!

Probably this the one of the years that I learned more english, especially I learned how to express  my self, also a lot of grammar, and too a lot of usefull vocabulary .

Is true that at the begining of the term I could work harder but I think that from the medium of the term to the end I worked really hard, also is true that sometimes in the classes  I wasn't really concentrated, but i have try to improve it.

I am really happy with my teacher in the true I appreciate her a lot,and I love her style of teaching.

Now I am able to speak and understand better the english. 

I am really happy with my work, with all that I have learned, in conclusion I am really happy with all of the aspects of the subject.

time now I am able to read interviews, reports...

I have continued watching videos in YouTube and when I finifhed "Mozart in the jungle", I started to see "Narcos" (Obviusly in english) and I am so happy because I understand it relly good.
