    Hi

    This are my aswers to the questions.

    1. I think that english is a very important language over the world, and my principal goal is to speak english with people that speakes english. That can be very important if you go to an english country, becuase if you understand them, you can make new friends, and, if you are far away of your friends in your country, you can have funs with your friends in an english country.

    2. Everyday in class there is a new topic for learn, and is sometimes difficult for me understand a new topic if I can`t find a meaning in spanish. Speak in class is sometimes difficult, becuase in english you have to be right in a lot of things;pronunciation,fluency, etc.

    3. I think I can improve Reading, Writing, speaking and listening, because that 3 things can make me understand grammar, spelling, prununciation and all that things that you need to be an english speaker. Everyday at english my target is to improve, so, class is other very good way to improve everyday.

    4. English is for me a global language, that all people over the world need to get ahead in the live. The answer is that, I think it`s important to learn english becuase I want to get ahead.

    5. I read, I write and I listen to english in different ways, but it`s other very important thing, that I like do, but my around with my family don`t allows me to do it, becuase in my family there aren`t many people that speaks english. I`m talking you about speak.

    Hi All!!!!

    How are you???

    OK well this are the answers for the different questions.

    1)Now to be a professional or go to the best univirsidades is a second language, which most times is English. And also to have more job opportunities abroad.

    2)More or less, because sometimes I want, but I'm not sure mal.Y also speak well or not so well understand the issues but with the help of my dad i could
    understand more thoroughly.

    3)Mmmm ... as it were, for my part I study reading texts that the teacher makes us read in class, look for the vocabulary, and then step by Spanish and understand it much bette
    4)It is very important for many things in everyday life, such a trip, conoser new cultures, it is also proved necessary for life, they will say, Why English? I would say that is the most important language in the world. For countries with more veneficios work, the official language is English.

    5)You can learn English in different ways, for example: go to training schools, once my mom got me into one, the campus is also an internet coffee my mom was going to take some copies, but they spoke English! My mom did not understand, help and was just in time to the work.Podemos listening music in English, is discharged out the letter and you will understand more vocalisacion.Tambien count reading, watching movies etc


    Happy Thanksgiving recess and repasd for the general assessments!!!!!

    hi all!
    OK well this are the answers for the different questions

    My goals are to learn English do word searches, crosswords, dictation getting better and faster. Also try to participate a little more in class trying to do activities in a shorter time and they are well and also if this a bad thing or activity the next time you do it well and learn from mistakes so that if I do it again I do not look bad and what do you see that with good speed and agility



    Well for me it is difficult and sometimes easy sometimes hard because sometimes when I speak English I start thinking that the sentence structure is getting bad and I'm starting to put me nervous when it's easy and I'm quite sure that the well say prayer is prayer a little nervous but I usually end up saying and look good


    For me to improve the English would talk to a USA person and would talk like the sentence structure this evil and have more confidence when going to say a prayer and would also participate more in class and when participating say a good sentence and long


    For me it is important to learn English by the English in the future if I go to USA and I could defend the profession maybe if I want to be as big as I needed the English and makes me lose it and maybe also to study another language other than English as the French German Portuguese etc.

    Well within the classroom develop reading comprehension activities like workshops we also wordsearches outlets outside the classroom dramatizations assessment dictates regular and irregular verbs play activities teamwork.

    Hi!!

    Well these are my answers

    1 My goals would be to be in an English school. Travel to countries where this language is spoken. Practicing or interact with people who speak English well. Putting effort being made to learn English.

    2 For sometimes it is difficult because there are way too vocabulary which is very necessary and sometimes sooner or tenses and conjugations are difficult so I did not participate much in class.

    3 It may improve or learn more if:

    - We traveled abroad to learn than English.

    - Listening pronunciation.

    - Listening to music and try to write the lyrics of the song and pronounce it right.

    - Read books or magazines short texts that come in trying to pronounce English and read it there develops reading, pronunciation, and grammar.

    4 Because language is a very useful and interesting and when you go to countries like USA, England, etc.. You need to speak the language in order to communicate and expresr what you feel to others. I also find it very inportante that if you have a family member, friend or acquaintance who speaks English very well communicate with him and understood.

    5 is developed interaction among students questions that the teacher performs the activities of listening, pronunciation. The answer to questions you ask the student to teacher.

    6
    - I always try to Participate in class.

    - I try to call attention to the explanations.

    - Listen to music in English.

    - I read books in English and not too long or too short.

    - Development homework and exercises.

    Thanks!!!

    bye!!!
