In this picture, we can see a family at the beach. Two children and their dad are building sand castles with blue and red shovels and buckets. The mum is looking at them sitting in a white plastic deck chair under a beach umbrella. The daughter is brown-haired and wear a blue swimming wear with flowers. The son has a blue hat and green swimming trunks. Dad has black hair and black swimming wear. Mum is light-brown haired and wears a bikini. There's no clouds in the sky and they seem to have been having a wonderful day.

Final Reflection

Looking Back is the Key to Moving Forward

This post is going to be a flashback on my firsts blogs to know if i have improved my English. In my first post, I spoke about my summer experience in 2013.

 Now, in June of 2015, two years later, I think my post is easier to read thanks of images and videos, and the vocabulary and grammar is not as simple as two years ago. 

My best level of English is on listening and reading, I have a good reading comprehension in all languages that I have studied, probably cause I use to read so much and listening in English cause I use to listen to English music and sometimes watch an English film or series.

The most useful activity in these two years to improve English was to read books. If you read something you like, you are not studying, you're just having fun. But you learn at all. This is an activity which makes you improve vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension.

On the other side, some grammar classes were useless to learn English cause you can't just memorize a language, you should know where to use things you know. If you learn "first conditional, second,..." you don't even know which one is every one. It's better to know all conditionals and what they mean.

I would like to read another English book, continue with blog (I don't like it, but should accept that It is useful), and some listenings because the people which don't do it at home needs to do it in class.

Book Review

The Book Thief

This term i'm writting about "The Book Thief" a history book from the second world war. It explains the history of a german child which didn't understand why nazis want to cach jewish people. Her father had a jewish friend which had saved his life in the first world war and when the jewish son came to be hide in their house, Liesel Meminger (the child) starts to speak with him and become her best friend.

Lesel father teach her how to read but nazis didn't let them have books. Then, she goes to the mayor's house where his wife give some her some books. The mayor's wife allways let she go into her library and take any book she likes.

The book finish with an air attack from the allied countries which destroy Liesel's house and kill her, and all her family.
