My English Competence

I choose the Future composition because I work a lot to do it, and I am proud about the results :)
I think that if I want, and I have enough time I can write a good composition, like this.
On the other hand I hope that my teachers understand me, so I am not a teenager for linguistic matters such as English, Catalan or Spanish... In my opinion I am better in physics, mats... I hope that during next years, I will improve my level of English to get a good pronunciation and a huge vocabulary.
In this oral presentation, I am not nervous or shy, I think that I can pronounced better some words, or improve my grammar... But as I said on other post, I think that my oral presentations are good, I feel secure when I was doing it, and I think that this is a signal about a good preparation.

SELF EVALUATION OF MY IMPROVEMENT

VOCABULARY

In the past, my vocabulary was very poor. I had to look up the words in the dictionary many times. I didn't even know how some words were spelled. I used to use the same words again and again such as big, beautiful, etc.


GRAMMAR

I knew the most simple tenses and I sometimes had to write complicated sentences and I couldn't do it because of my lack of grammar. I didn't know how to write subordinated sentences. I didn't know how to use connectors either. I didn't know about the Passive Voice which it's very popular and used in the English language.


CONTENT

My first compositions were very poor as well. They didn't have much important content. I didn't say much in them. Nowadays, I can see how much I have improved in English. I am able to express and write on a paper shit my thoughts, feelings and experiences.

My compositions are now richer in content than they used to be.


PRESENTATION

I am so glad to say that when I was in first grade of Batxillerat, I didn't even know what a blog was. Nowadays, I know it!!! and I am so happy to know how it works. I am able to change colors of the background, the type of letter, the layout, etc.

ORAL

Well on the one hand I think that my oral presentation are the same that in the past, even I also think that my last oral presentation was the worst … In this oral presentation I didn't vocalize, I was very nervous and I didn't know how pronounced all words.

On the other hand I proud of my firsts oral presentations, which I am so god... I think that oral presentations or oral test are my strong points; I am never shy or nervous... Always I am very extroverted, this characteristic help me to pass these tests or presentations, so now that I have the basics tools I only must practice to improve my oral english.

THE FUTURE

First of all and I am not kidding...I wish to have a good mark in the PAU!!!! Secondly, I hope I can use my English knowledges in the future, specially in oral English, so that I can explain my windsurfing lessons to my students in Sant Pere Pesador. I am so proud when I can talk in English and they understand me.

Future

“The US space shuttle Endeavour has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS).The orbiter, which is making its last foray above the planet, will spend just under two weeks at the platform.It is delivering a $2bn particle physics experiment and a tray of critical spare parts.On its return to Earth on 1 June, Endeavour will be prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.”

The news tell us how much science is improving day after day. I remember when I was a child, our televisions didn't have a remote control to change the channel. So, when I wanted to change it, I had to stand up of the sofa, walk towards the tv and press the channel button.

I think that we are living an important period of time of huge changes, in which the society members are changing their minds. In my opinion, there will be an important metamorphosis which will transform the world we live in. This change is happening nowadays although unfortunately we are on crisis. These years, teenagers, adults and old people are seeing disasters such as the Japan nuclear crisis or the earthquake in Lorca, Spain.

In the new I have chosen, we can see that although we aren't living the most wonderful actions of humanity, some of us want to continue investigating with Science. Maybe, these ressearches will help us to find out a solution for practical and simple problems like somebody did in the past when he or she invented the remote control.

World Nuclear Association

...........................................

Dear John Ritch I am a student of second batxillerat in IES Castelló, Spain. I am writting in order to express my opinion of the problem that we are going to live regarding in nuclear power.

First of all I would like to tell you that I am favor of this type of energy, I think that this energy keep up our planet better than ohter types like oil, gas...
To ask about your opinion about our future, I know that our world every day increase the demand of energy caused by emrging countries like India, Japan, Chine...

But i wont to ask you a question:

What would happen in our planet if some nuclear plants exploted in the same period of time?

I would be interested to know what we can do to keep the valance in our home, to save some place to live in the future.

Thanks for your time, I hope that you will find a solution to this problem.

Yours simcerely
