FINAL EVALUATION

This is one of my last writings this year. I want to do a little evaluation of my english year and my marks etc. In my final evaluation I have a lot of things to say because I think that I have improved a little bit because now I am better at  writing. Although we have done three presentations I have not lost my fear of doing it and my pronunciation has not improved a lot. But one important thing is that I have more fluency speaking and writting and I think that it is important because if I meet  some english people I can speak well with them without any translator. My problem is that I get nervous when I am speaking. This is one of my bad points.
The activity that I think that shows my level of enlish is my your-says, because I have written them without any help and I think that it is great. Last year I didn't have this fluency speaking but now I think that is one of the easiest things in this subject, writing. A part from that, writing these your-says has been very useful to improve my vocabulary. I have learned a lot of words and expresions. 
Rebecca has been great for learning time expressions and a lot of vocabulary, because she is english and she knows a lot of synonyms etc. And that was great because in this way we have not repeated the same word thousands of times in our writings.
The activity that I think that hasn't been useful for me is maybe listening, but I am not saying that it hasn't been useful for me, only a little bit.
I really enjoy talking with Rebecca because in our lifedays we can't do it. We laughted a lot and abobe all we learned. I enjoy a lot doing podcasts too.

THE BOY IN THE STRIPE PYJAMAS

I have read this book last term and I really enjoy it and remoend it because for me it was very interesting. I like the story because it represent the life of one rich child and one poor jewish child and their opposite worlds. The jewish child has been sentenced to death by germans and that means that Bruno, who's parents are germans, is his enemie but they don't see it like this.
Bruno every day talks with his new friend but at the final the die together because germans confuse Bruno with a jewish child, because he was wearing a stripe pyjama that identifies jewish. Bruno's parents don't know where Bruno is and they are very enhappy and sad and finally his mother returns to Berlin but his father wait him for if someday he could return.
It has been one of my favourites books for the history. I recomend it to everybody, I'm sure that you will enjoy it.
