My English progress from 2009/2010 - 2010/2011

As you know, we are finishing second of batxillerat and I'm going to do some reflections about my English progress from the last two years. Time passed very fast, and we are arriving at the last part of our school time: the PAU exams!

I think my English has improved a little bit since I arrived at first of batxillerat, because I've learnt some new vocabulary and grammar. I improved the verb tenses, but I still have problems sometimes, for that, I think we should have studied it more at class.
When I compare my first composition, the letter to my teacher, and my last writing, the news about the disaster in Japan or the Earthquake in Murica, I can see some differences. One one hand, I remembered that I spent a lot of time doing the letter, because I didn't know what to write about and it was not easy for me. Also I think the ideas where a little bit "poor" and the vocabulary very easy. On the other hand, I think the news about the earthquake in Muricia or the disaster in Japan where a lot better, because I've used some technical words, the vocabulary was very rich and also the verb tenses have improved a bit. And now, at the end of the two years it is easier for me to develope a writing.

When I compare my oral presentations I also can see some differences, maybe bigger ones than in the writings. My first oral presentation in first of batxillerat was about my winter holidays on a cruiser, and I was very nervous. The body language was very bad because I haven't looked at the audience and also I was trembling a bit. The pronunciation and the structure of the presentation was not bad.
And finally, when I take a look at my last oral presentation which was about my research project, I can see some big improvements. I also was nervous, a thing which it's very difficult for me to overcome, but it was much better. I looked at my audience and my pronunciation was clear, I think everyone could understand me. It was much better than the presentation I did in front of the jury who scored my whole project. I think it was because it was the second time that I exposed it in front of some people, and I wasn't so nervous like the first time.

So, in conclusion, I have seen some personal developement because I've improved my English a bit, my pronunciation and the fluency when I speak is much better. I hope that in future I'll improve it a lot more!
