My english progress from 2012-2014



The first and the last post



These are my first and my last posts in the blog and the first and obvious difference is the length of the essays, what I think is due to the increase of the confidence in the use of English and also to the knowledge of more vocabulary.

About the structures it’s easy to see the structure is completely different but it’s not better or worse because the first post have an email or letter structure while the last post is a “your-say” with a free structure. I think I ordered the information quite good I both posts separating it into different paragraphs but while in the first post I only used one connector to link the information on the last post I used connectors in the starting of almost every paragraph.

Related to the vocabulary I have that while in the first post I repeated words a lot of time (a lot of (3), good (2), summer(3)), in the last post I avoided repeating words. Moreover both compositions have more than 100 words and the register is appropriate to the extra linguistic situation.


About the content I think the last post is richer but is understandable because the first one was only an introduction of myself while the last one is a free your-say where I talked about a lot of different things.


Finally, as a curiosity, I want to emphasize that when I started the batxillerat I was convinced of my future and now I have no idea of what I will do. Moreover in general I think I have improved during these two years but it hasn’t been something spectacular.

The first and the last oral presentation

First oral presentation – Sports injuries:

Last oral presentation – Obesity and Overweight:


About the presentations comparing the two presentations I think I have improved in content and in vocabulary but in contrast I think that the last oral presentation was my worst one because I was very nervous and stressed with the exams. In general I’m proud of the content of all my oral presentations and of the prezis I have used because I think I have invested a lot of work on it. 

Moreover I evaluate myself on each presentation and I can see that the marks have been always similar in the fact that the aspect to improve always has been the body language so I have to admit that I haven’t improved my body language in presentations during these two years.
