SELF ASSESMENT

The end has come and I can't realise that four years have passed since I entered for first time in this high school. In this four years I have learnt a lot of new grammar and vocabulary but in my opinion I've specially improved my listening. It has been four wonderful years learning here and hope that next years will be similar. Happy Holidays and goodbye Tomás Bretón

MEMORIES OF MY SCHOOL DAYS

First grade

I remember that my first day at Tomás Bretón wasn’t very enjoyable for me, because most of my friends were in another class so I spent most of the time thinking about my bad luck instead of paying attention to the teachers who were introducing theirselves and explaining their subjects.

As the days passed I started talking with new people and making new friends so everything turned better, but I hated to leave class later than at primary school so of course I also hated the seventh hour.

 The most remarkable project of this course was the performance of the Shakespeare’s play: A midsummer night’s dream.

Second grade

The first course finished and after summer, the second one started. I was really looking forward to the English week but it was passed to the third grade so I was really disappointed.

In this course we created our own blogs to upload the projects that we made in class and at first I thought that it was a bad idea but actually it has been very useful.

Third grade

The third course started and in the first weeks during the clases I was thinking all the time: This class was better last year. But finally it has been one of the years that I’ve enjoyed the most.

In this course I started with a bit of fear because in my case I noticed that there were some subjects that were quite difficult comparing them with the previous year, but finally everything went ok.

This year the English Week couldn’t be done because there weren’t enough teachers, but luckily I could go to France with the French class and it was great.

Fourth grade

The fourth grade had arrived and I couldn’t believe that so much time had passed since I started in this High School and I hoped that it would be a great course and it is being a great course.

We’ve finally gone to Ireland in the English Week after so much time of waiting and I enjoyed it a lot because it was a new and different experience-

We’ve gone to Malaga of end-of-school trip

And in spite of it is a difficult year because the contents of some subjects are quite hard, I wouldn’t change anything of what I’ve done.

This has been my experience in Tomás Bretón and I think that it has been incredible to be here during this four years next to all my classmates and I hope that the following years will be similar.

Thanks

LAST YEAR AT SCHOOL

SELF ASSESMENT

Well, from my point of view I have worked in a good way this year. Maybe I could have participated more at the moment of talk in class or ask questions. Now I have improved my oral skills and I have learnt much new vocabulary.

Talking about my skills I think that I have improved almost all of them but I have to improve a lot my listening skills.

MY MUM TELLS ME OFF

I get on well with my parents most of the time and I think we have a good relationship. When I have a problem, they are the first people that I turn to for help. For example, if people at school pick on me, they will always be very sensitive and helpful.My parents also put up with me when I'm moody or lazy.Luckily,we don't fall out very often, but when we do, we make up and forget about it quickly! I really look up to them and respect them, but there's one thing that really annoys me. My mum always tells me off when I do something wrong,even for small things like leaving my shoes in the wrong place. The worst thing is that she tells meoff in forntof my friends. It's so embarrasing. What should I do?
