SELF-ASSESSMENT

This term I have improved in my capacity of listening because I can understand long speech and 

difference between many types of words, also i learn a lot of new vocabulary and idioms like "don't 

burnt the candles from the two sides". Reading the histories of Edgar Allan Poe lie "the pit and the 

pendulum" and "the red mask" such interesting books, It has been easier to read and they attracted all

 my attention. Finally my pronunciation has improve due to the help of Mickael in the Bilingual

 classes and the helpful videos that Cristina has in her blog.
