2.My English COMPETENCE in 2010

The oral evidences that I have chosen are the podcast that I did with Laura about Japan and the oral exam:



The written evidence that I have chosen is the composition which is about HOME, the documentary that we watched on the English class:


I have chosen this podcast for many reasons:

First of all, because of the topic, it talks about nuclear disaster and the tsunami that Japan has suffered. I think that this caused a world reaction and the entire world was emotionally affected by this.

Secondly, I have chosen this because of the dialogue. To write this, on the one hand, we have to think like a Japanese girl who has suffered this disaster and who lost her family and on the other hand, we have to think like a reporter who has lived this situation personally.

Thirdly, because it shocked us a lot. These kinds of things show that although there are countries which are developed, they also suffer big disasters like poor countries such as Haiti. Of course, the consequences were more important in Haiti because buildings in Japan are very strong because they can support the earthquakes.

Finally, I have chosen it because of my theater representation: we enjoyed the time recording this podcast a lot, we laughed so much because I have to cry to show that I’m very sad. I think that it’s positive because in my opinion, learning enjoying yourself is so good.

I have also chosen the oral exam because it is the activity that I like so much:

The most important thing is that I have learnt a lot of vocabulary, phrasal verbs, new words, pronunciation… because I have to look for a lot of new words. I have also to summarize the book and to answer the questions to prepare the exam better.

In my point of view this is the activity that is more useful to me.

Talking about written evidence, I have chosen HOME because I like this documentary a lot, not only for the explanation, but the images too.

I have compositions that are quite well but this is special. On it, I talked about the different kind of problems that the earth and the world suffer for many reasons:

On the one hand, it is because of pollution, nuclear power disasters…
On the other hand, it is because of humans who don’t get conscious about the problems that our planet suffers.

So, I think that this is an interesting topic to talk about.

I know, I probably have compositions which are better than this but I have chosen it for this:

First of all, because in this composition we have to comment a phrase of the documentary and give our opinion of it. So, I think that this is an important activity because it could be difficult if you don’t understand the sentence well.

Secondly, because an activity like this, has made me improve in different ways: not only in English, but in my personality too, because things like this make you think and I think that it is so good for me and for everybody else.


 

In these two courses I have improved my English a lot, but to tell the truth, I think that during the ESO we did basic things like: colours, numbers, animals, the months… And this is not useful for anything, so when we are in batxillerat we have to do oral exams, PAU exams, compositions for the blog, tasks, some difficult homework etc. and after, the teachers complain because their pupils don’t pass the exams.

On the one hand, I think that my level of English has improved since I started batxillerat because we have done some innovation projects: these are the compositions which we have to post on the blog, record podcasts…

On the other hand, in my point of view the new innovations aren’t always good, because I think that we should to do more PAU exams, more listening (for the marks) and one or two compositions per week in the language room, because it would improve our level of English.

To conclude, I think that these courses have given me good and bad things, but moreover, I have become more mature in my compositions and I know a lot of new vocabulary.

I’m so proud of my results and I want to continue learning English.
