On December 18th, we conducted an oral exam in class, which was about making a restaurant reservation with a native English to practice our speaking.

The fact of doing the exam with a native English made me feel nervous and some things didn't go as I wanted.

I need to improve my politeness, because I'm not polite enough to speak English (they say thank you too much) and I need to practice spelling too because I made some mistakes when I wrote his name.

In conclusion, I need more confidence to speak English and this is achieved by talking more English.

On March 5th, we did a new role-play in class, which was about taking order with a native English to practice our speaking.

Comparing this role-play with the other, on this one I didn't feel nervous, until the moment she asked me about a dish (cuttle fish). Then I started losing confidence and I forgot to say things that I know.

Leaving aside this problem, I have improved my politeness. 

So what I have to do is keep working in my English in order to get it spoken naturally.

This was my first presentation in English, so I thought it would go wrong. But in the end, the truth is that I didn't get very nervous and it came out pretty good.

I made some mistakes, the most outstanding was when the teacher asked me which dishes I will recommend her and I didn't know how to answer the question.

Then I have to improve linkers to change subjects and not make the presentation as a robot.

On October 23rd, we did the first oral presentation, which was about describing our curriculum vitae.

I had a personal problem and I couldn't come to class, so I did this oral presentation later.

In my opinion, it has been quite good to me although I should have improved and used some specific vocabulary that would be more appropriate than the one I used. Also I pronounced some words in the wrong way.

On May 21st, we did the last role-play, which was like a mix of all together. 

In my opinion, I have been improving during the course and this role-play has gone better than the previous ones.

I made a mistake, that I always commit, when I was recommending the dessert to Ian. I said ''I recommend you'' and it's not necessary to say ''you''. It is a mistake that I make unconsciously and that I have to improve.

This assignment consists on analyzing my oral presentations and role-plays for 2018-2019 course.

Every time I  get a recording of my oral presentations or role-plays, I will post the video here with a self-assessment form. 

In addition, I will post a comment with a link to the recording and the form for each oral activity.]]> 2019-05-27 13:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandromorenovalera/y7mcf2239kxo/wish/363750887 CONCLUSION alejandromorenovalera https://padlet.com/alejandromorenovalera/y7mcf2239kxo/wish/363751739
In conclusion, I found that it was a very interesting activity.

I have learned more things to speak in English, which will make me more confident when I talk with the customers.

The fact of learning from my mistakes has mede me improve a lot, since many mistakes I made before I'm no longer doing them now.

I would never stop doing this activity in English classes, because it's very important to learn from our mistakes and get confidence in the languages we are not used to talk.]]> 2019-05-27 13:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandromorenovalera/y7mcf2239kxo/wish/363751739 PROJECT alejandromorenovalera https://padlet.com/alejandromorenovalera/y7mcf2239kxo/wish/364156959
This task is not an oral presentation or a role-play, is a project that we did in groups. 

In this task each person had their role and their work.
In my group, we were four people for doing and explain how to do a Crepe Suzette. Alexsander as the presenter, Miguel as the waiter, Francesc as the editor and me as the sommelier.

In my opinion, we did a great work together and you can see the result below.]]> 2019-05-28 20:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandromorenovalera/y7mcf2239kxo/wish/364156959
