Witch activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not?
-In my opinion the most unuseful activities are the blog and the portfolio ones.
Although I recognize that they help us to improve our writing ,we spend lots of hours on them and we can’t see all of our mistakes. It's a laborious task and doing the posts we have less time to study for the exams.
Witch activities were really useful for you to improve your English?
-Personally I think that the most useful activity is speaking because if we travel abroad, for example, it’s very important to communicate. And if we know how to speak, it means that we have a good grammar and vocabulary level. So, from my point of view, the speaking with Annika and with the teachers are the most useful activities we have done.
Witch activity best shows your level of English?
-In my opinion it’s difficult because in my case I have different levels, depending on the skills, if I am listening, speaking, reading or writing.
So, the best way to show my level is taking a complete exam , because I have to do it without the book, the dictionary…

Opinion essay
We have almost learnt to respect our World, do you agree?
I think we don’t really know how important is our world and we don’t respect it enough.
If we continue behaving like that, we will not know where to live in twenty years.
In my opinion it’s really difficult to answer this question, because there are lots of different kinds of people. On the one hand, there are some cultures who really respect the planet, and on the other hand there are lots of people who don’t know what respect is.
So… we haven’t learnt to respect our planet, but we must learnt to keep it safe.

Exam opinion essay improved.
TOO MUCH IMPORTACE IS GIVEN TO TAKING EXAMS AT SCHOOL. DO YOU AGREE?
Exams are the exercise that show better our level in one subject, because during the test there is nobody who can tell us how we can do the exercises. So, if a teacher wants to know our knowledge in his subject he/she must make an exam. In my opinion, tests help us to improve our level.
The first reason why we have to take exams is because if we want to get a good mark, we have to study. If we don’t take exams probably we won’t study, so why should we come to school?
The second reason is that meanwhile we are answering an exam we have to be concentrated and we have to control our nerves and this is really important, because that will help us in our labour life.
The last reason is that exams are a motivation for us. If we haven’t exams we won’t listen carefully during the classes, because nobody will ask us about that. So, as I wrote before, tests improve our level.
To sum up, I think that the exams are really important in our studies, and if we don’t take the tests, the education will disappear with them.

My last oral presentation !
In my opinion this is the worst oral presentation I have done during first of Batxillerat. I don't know why but I was really nervous and I think I didn't take care enough about pronunciation but I think we had done a beautiful and original power point and it helped us during the presentation.
So I recognize that I hadn't prepared it enough and the mark shows that.

Million dolar baby !
This is one of the best films I have ever seen, because there are lots of good actors, such as Hilary Swang and Morgan Freeman. The film is about a girl who wants to practice boxing. She trains a lot, but she doesn't find a trainer who wants to introduce her to the competition.
I really like it because the fights are very real, and I feel very excited meanwhile I was watching it.
