Self-Assessment

Hi! This is my final self-assessment and it's sad think that this is the last thing that I write in this portfolio.

1.What can I do now?

Well , the only thing that I can do is continue learning and improving, so I think that I can say that this four years has been an absolutely evolution in my English. The first years I wasn't be able to say a sentences without lock, now I able to have a conversation and also understand it.

2. Blog-Portfolio

It's an original and effective method to learn vocabulary and expressions, and also to search about grammar and it's easily to learn.

3. Skills

About my skills, has been a great evolution in all the parts; In speaking I can speak with more fluency also I can write text on any topic. About reading it's easily to me to read text and understand all the text. Projects have been a way of learning English more pleasant and enjoyable, especially with our latest project in which our evolution has been captured.

I have to say thank you to all our English teachers, especially to Cristina for giving me confidence to speak with more fluency and to teach me that we can make mistakes, Thank you and that's all.

Bye!

Unit 7- Grammar

There are a number of different ways of referring to the future in English. It is important to remember that we are expressing more than simply the time of the action or event. Obviously, any 'future' tense will always refer to a time 'later than now', but it may also express our attitude to the future event.

Get on: If two or more people get on, they like each other and are friends.

Unit 6- Grammar

Different types of sentences

When you use reported speech, you either report:

• statements
• questions
• requests / commands 
• other types

A. Reporting Statements

When transforming statements, check whether you have to change:

• pronouns 
• tense 
• place and time expression

1- Pronouns

In reported speech, you often have to change the pronoun depending on who says what.

Example:
She says, “My dad likes roast chicken.” – She says that her dad likes roast chicken.

                     2. Tenses

                         3- Place, demonstratives and time expressions

Place, demonstratives and time expressions change if the context of the reported statement is different from that of the direct speech.

last week	the week before
next year	the following year
tomorrow	the next day / the following day

B. Reporting Questions

When transforming questions, check whether you have to change:

• pronouns 
• place and time expressions 
• tenses

Also note that you have to:

• transform the question into an indirect question 
• use the question word (where, when, what, how) or if / whether

       C. Reporting requests / commands 

When transforming requests and commands, check whether you have to change:

• pronouns 
• place and time expressions

Example:

She said, “Sit down." - She asked me to sit down.

Complain: to say that something is wrong or that you are angry about something

Reveal: to tell someone a piece of secret information

Deny: to say that something is not true, or that you have not done something

State: to officially say or write something

Unit 5- Grammar

Review of question forms

Yes/No questions

• Is he a teacher? Yes he is.

To form yes/no questions where there is an auxiliary verb or a modal verb, we invert the word order of a positive sentence. (He is a teacher > Is he a teacher?)

• Does she know you. Yes she does.

When there is no auxiliary verb we use ‘do’ to form the question.

With question words

The same rules apply when there is a question word (‘what’, ‘where’, ‘when’, ‘why’, ‘who’, ‘which’, ‘how’, ‘how much’, ‘how many’)

• Where is the hotel?

Where there is an auxiliary or modal verb, that verb is used to form the question.

• How did you get here?

Where there is no auxiliary verb, we use do.

Subject/Object questions

Sometimes you might see questions like this.

• Who broke the window?
• What happened next?
• Who told you that?

There is no auxiliary verb and the word order is not inverted.

These are called subject questions – because the question word is the subject of the sentence.

Look at these two questions.

• Who does Romeo love? Romeo loves Juliet.
• Who loves Romeo? Juliet loves Romeo.

In the first question, Romeo is the subject of the verb.
In the second question ‘who’ is the subject and Romeo is the object.

Consideration: careful thought and attention
