Final reflection. My English competence

Writing 
I'd choose one of my lasts compositions which is about prenuptial arrangements. 
I think it's my best composition because I use a lot of connectors (on the one hand... on the other; besides; furthermore, etc). Besides, this composition has some phrasal verbs like "lay down" and vocabulary we did in class (silly, as long as...) The structure is typical of argument essays: introduction, pros and cons, my opinion and conclusion. All four parts are distinct. Furthermore, I use in that writing other things we did in class (conditionals, modal verbs...). 
So for these reasons I think that prenuptial arrangements composition is my best writing. 

Speaking 
I'm not an expert talking on public speaking in English but if I have to choose any oral prez I may choose my prez about handball sport. I became so nervous when I have to speak English publicly. Although I try be calm and think about my notes, I can't avoid be nervous and I don't understand why. Perhaps it's because I don't know what say when have a "lapsus". Definitely, speaking is what I have to improve for the future. 

So here finish Guillem's space. That's was funny explain my thoughts and experience here. However, at the end I didn't know what topic talk about. I think it's a good way to learn English, because you are bound to write a lot. Bye blog! 

Final reflection. My English progress from 2010 - 2012

The end is near, let's look back! 
My first composition in my old space was "My TV and radio programs favourites". Let's compare that writing with my current compositions.
First difference I see is the comas use: we can see a lot of comas (Example: All this programs, have one thing in common). Nowadays I think I use comas good (more or less)
Other difference is that before in never used relative pronouns. You can't find and relative pronoun in my first composition. Now, I use them a lot (maybe too much)
Third change I can see is the verbal tenses I used. For example: This program imite. Besides, verb "imite" doesn't exists, it should be "mimic" or something similar. 
Sentences constructions has changed too. There are a lot of "strange" sentences (example: This program is one zapping program but is a diferent zapping program) Maybe today I would say "This program is similar to a zapping program" or something similar to that. 
Other change I see is prepositions use. We can see for entertain; it should be "to entertain". Other example: boys in 17, 18.
Apart from linguistic aspects, it's also a topic change. Before I talked about MotoGP, F1, TV programs... Now, I try vary topics and I talk about books, films, reports, etc.
