When I was doing the test, it seemed to be very easy, but at the moment of socializing I

realized that it was not like that. Also, the class was very nice because we shared different

points of view and we could solve all doubts. I still have to improve different things like

pronunciation, ortography and be able to understand when people say some words in english.

We asked and answered questions  by implementing the W questions.

In this day, we started with a new topic that the teacher brought us, present progressive, which I already
had seen but did not know it's name, the teacher gave us a task, first we
gave the explanation of the issue explicitly, meaning, examples, and verbs are transformed as
done, the affirmative and the negative. This also contained exercises like, complete sentences,
answering questions using this according to the reality, seeing pictures and saying what were doing some
characters. Meanwhile, the teacher called people who had not delivered the mini book and did
corrections. I feel that in this class I did well because I had seen the topic and it is easy to learn.

On this day the teacher told us that we had to bring a kind of resume, with all of our personal data. We socialized the present progressive task, which was easy on my opinion, and I will rather read and respond as they get to invent phrases knowing that I need a bit of vocabulary. We talked about in what cases ING can be replaced, removed or added on some verbs.

We had no class this week because the teacher was sick, meanwhile we advanced on the eportfolio. I think it helped us because we could guide easier and search tools to use a better vocabulary and sentences.

This week we practiced with feelings, using them in examples with people and saying what they were doing
 according to some pictures, also we did sentences using present progressive. We did a listening exercise where we had to listen to conversations and say what they were doing and feeling.Also, we saw some phrases that can be written in different ways, for example: the man is laughing or the man's laughing, that of the two forms is correct and possible. I think that these activities and exercises are very good in the development and evolution of our knowledgment because every day we see new things and feed back our knowledge and vocabulary. You learn every day new words that  you have never seen. I felt good as usual.
 
Tuesday and friday, May 7 th and 10 th, 2013
 
This week we did a short overview of the topics covered in class use, when used, in that time, among others. I think these exercises are great because they help us to practice what we have learned and clarify doubts about it, the way you write and ask the questions, what time the statements are made in, etc.. We acquired more vocabulary. I think I've learned much so far, every day I learn new words and improve my pronunciation.

Today we had no class, so we had to practice the sketch that we have to do for the final exam. En this class we could correct some pronunciation problems we had. We also practiced a lot so everything could go well. In my opinion, this sketch is very important to our education process, doing this , we can get more fluency and it will be easier to do some different activities with kids in the future
