First of all, I felt that it was an enriching class, since there was a lot of space to talk and begin to control our speaking.
In that order of ideas I conclude that although I worked in the classroom to participate with advanced structures, and in general I have strengthened myself in my learning process to advance effectively. I must challenge myself to use a more advanced level of English each time. I say this because one of my goals is to emigrate and study abroad, and for that I need an academic English and in general the highest level that I can reach with this language. ]]> 2018-10-18 23:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/yesicapaolamenesesalfonso/a7lust8xmtch/wish/294645244 Friday, October 19, 2018. yesicapaolamenesesalfonso https://padlet.com/yesicapaolamenesesalfonso/a7lust8xmtch/wish/295777289 In this class we saw the Preview of the book, I easily understood the topics and what I have left as a reflection is to look for strategies to improve my listening skills.
