Exam

This is my exam. I felt really disapointed with the results, I think I could have done it better. Sometimes I feel really nervous with evaluations and I can't concentrate as I should. This only demostrate me that I have to study harder and improve my self confidence in evaluations. 

Student's book & Notebook

These are my listening, reading and speaking exercises. Listening exercises always have been difficult for me, but with this portafolio i could notice my improvement what makes me really proud of myself.

In speaking we compared two photos and explained which one we chose and why. I attached the google drive link of our speaking and the PP exposition of the circuit.

East Africa Circuit

 East Africa Circuit triptych

This was a very fun homework where we had to investigate about a trip cheaper than 5000 dollars and longest than 14 days. We decided to choose africa because it is a country full of culture and incredible landscapes, besides very cheap.The PP is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9zCUqqiz_DPMzdRdG1FbEVYaDA

CD EXERCICES 

I was so confident that my portafolio was completed that I erased ALL the photos of my phone. Lucky I wrote some in my notebook. :(

ALWAYS HEALTHY DRY FRUIT 

Dried fruit is fruit that has had almost all of the water content removed through drying methods.

The fruit shrinks during this process, leaving a small, energy-dense dried fruit.

Raisins are the most common type, followed by dates, prunes, figs and apricots.

Dried fruit is highly nutritious.

One piece of dried fruit contains about the same amount of nutrients as the fresh fruit, but condensed in a much smaller package.

By weight, dried fruit contains up to 3.5 times the fiber, vitamins and minerals of fresh fruit.

Dried fruit generally contains a lot of fiber and is a great source of antioxidants, especially polyphenols. Polyphenol antioxidants are associated with health benefits such as improved blood flow, better digestive health, decreased oxidative damage and reduced risk of many diseases. 

Several studies have shown that people who eat dried fruit tend to weigh less and ingest more nutrients, compared to individuals not eating dried fruit.

That's why dry fruit is the perfect snack option for people that doesn't have enough time for cooking or the perfect option if you want to eat in class.

Reflection

I tried to attach the Document but I couldn't, so I take them a photo,and I don't know why it didn't appeared when I published the blog. This exercise was very fun and I enjoyed a lot making the commercial in the class room. 

AUTOBIOGRAPHY


My name is Ivette Caudana and I was born in a small island near to Cancún in one day of may twenty one years ago.   My mom was a tourist from barcelona who fall in love with a sympathetic buisness man (who feel like a fisherman) from veracruz, they meet each other in Isla Mujeres and I was born a year after that. 
The first seven years of my life I grow up in that island, surrounded by trees, ocean, sand and love. I used to spend all my days swimming in the caribbean sea or climbing coconut trees in my garden. I loved to live barefoot and shirtless like "Mowgli" style. In that time there were not good elementary schools in Isla Mujeres, that's why my mom decided to give me a home education and I was completly happy with that. 
When i was seven my oldest brother died and my parents decide to divorce, then my mom and I went to Barcelona to be near the family. 
That year was whole an adventure, we passed from living in a lonely island to move into a big city. I didn't liked the city lifestyle and my mom either so we decide to move into a small town called arenys de mar near to barcelona. We spent two years there and that was the first time i went to a regular school. 
One day my mom decided to turn back to Cancun (I don't know why because she always regret about it) and I started studying in Monteverde school. 
When i finished high school I went to barcelona again and lived with my grandparents for a year. My mom wants me to stay there but I missed her so much and I decided to turn back. 
When I finished studying I buyed a combi and started traveling around Mexico with my dogs. I loved all the places I knew a I feel completely free. I spend a year traveling and selling art crafts, the perfect hippie uthopy.


I tuned back to cancun and stayed for a time, but a year ago I wanted to study veterinary and I went to Mexico City where I was accepted in the UNAM. That was the worst year in my life, I hated to live in a big city, besides my dad gets sick and I was long away from him, I couldn't afford it so I decided to turn back AGAIN! 
I decided to study Architecture and that was the best decision i could do, I love what I'm doing and I'm very happy with my life. 

REFLECTION
This exercise served me to practice my grammar so as to improve vocabulary, it was a challenge for me because I'm not very good in grammar or writing. 
This kind of exercises are the ones that I feel that help us more to improve. 

FCE SPEAKING RUBRIC


I didn't came the day that this exercise was made, so I asked to my classmates to help me. I printed the rubric from vanessa's notebook and Isis qualify me (that's why you can see the corrections)
With this exercise I could know how Is my english speaking and how to improve it.
