TOPIC SIX: REFLECTION

In this term I have learned above all the English grammar: I have become more precise with the verbs and I am more uninhibited in to speak English.

I have begun to watch many films in original language helping sometimes me with the subtitles.

Moreover I have taken back the contacts with the American family that three years ago has entertained me.

I would like to deepen and to improve my English more and more. In fact I hope to participate in the project Erasmus next year: travel to the foreign countries and to know new cultures and new traditions!
