SELF-ASSESSMENT THIRD TERM

- What can I do now that I couldn't do before?

After the English lessons that we had during all this term, I've learnt a lot of things, specially about grammar and european culture.

Now, I can make conditional and passive sentences, which improves my level of speaking and writing. 

Also, we've learnt a very big amount of general cultre during our classes! 

- What did I like most?

The thing that I liked most about this term was definitely working and investigating with my partners for our project. We made it bout the witch-hunt and the witches trials, and it was a very interesting thing to learn about. I really liked it and I personally think that making projects like this is the best way of learnig about any topic.

- What did I do well?

During this term I really worked on grammar, because there was so many things that were new for me. I thinks that's what I did better. 

- What did I do in English outside the class?

As allways, I've listened to music and interviews, seen some films and read a lot of news, and even some short and amazing stories. In my opinion, things like these are very important if you really want to improve your skills in a language. 

- What do I need to improve?

I would like to control a little bit more of vocabulary about the topics that we've talked about. 

- What did I learn about culture?

I did learn about wicth-hunt, the Salem Trials, torture on the medieval ages or even about the witch symbols, thanks to my own project and the other ones that my partners made and presented for the class.

Also, we had the opportunity to learn about some Irish culture. Some of my partners are going to go to Ireland next week and during our lessons, we've seen some of the most important monument of the country, and we've sung the Molly Malone's song!

                                             

             

GRAMMAR: CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

A conditional sentence is form by two different parts: If-clause and main clause.
The order of the parts does not matter, but we should remember that if we're going to put the if-clause first, it must be followed by a comma.

I will buy new clothes if a have money tomorrow.
If i have money tomorrow, I will buy new clothes. 

There's four different types of conditional sentences, and each one of them uses a different tense. 

ZERO CONDITIONAL: If/when + present + present.
For example; The movie stops if you press that button. 

FIRST CONDITIONAL: If/unless + present + future.
For example; If I clean the house, my dad will be happy. 

SECOND CONDITIONAL: If + past + would + inf. 
For example; If I studied, I would pass. 

THIRD CONDITIONAL: If + past perfect + would have + present perfect.
For example; If I had lost my mobile phone, I would have been punished. 

VOCABULARY

AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC

When we use our body for practising exercise or even for making the things that we do everyday, we need and energy to be able to have the capacity of actually doing it. For that, our body uses two types of different metabolism to provide the fuel needed to our muscles: AEROBIC and ANAEROBIC. There's some differences between them that we must understand if we want to know how our body works.
 
ANAEROBIC METABOLISM: 

- Is the one we use when a lot of effort is necesary but not for a very long time (short burst of energy); for example, when we go for an sprint.
- What occurs is that our lungs cannot put the amount of oxigen needed into the bloodstream to our body to keep working properly, so our body creates energy through the combustion of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.

AEROBIC METABOLISM:

- Other way, anaerobic metabolism is the one we use when we do a longer exercise, which also needs a big amount of enery, but that will be provided little by little during a longer time; for example, when we go running, cycling or walking.
- In this case, our body creates the energy we need by burning carbohydrates, amino acids and fats in the presence of oxygen.



When we practise a sport or we make excercise activities, our body changes from one metabolim to another depending on what it needs in that moment.
Anaerobic metabolism is not as efficent as aerobis metabolism is; but, on other way, the anaerobic one can only use glucose and glycogen, while aerobic can also use fats and protein.

But, after all, our body is able to choose between them and use the one that adapts better to what it needs at that moment, which is completly amazing! This is definitely a very extense and interesting topic with a lot of parts to know about, and in the end, knowing about this also means that we know about our own body.
