The other day we did a questionnaire in which we answered different questions of our lives, most of them related to our English level. And here it is a summary of it.
Most of us started to study English at school and continued till Bachillerato. Some students have the First Certificate, others have Trinity’s high levels, although most of us do not have any of it. Nevertheless, we practice English by reading, watching films, listening to music and also speaking with native friends. Even there are students whose parents are native. Moreover, most of us have traveled to many English-speaking-countries, England, Ireland and Amsterdam are the most common. And I forgot the ERASMUS boy. So, most of us have written that our English is good and it improves if we write it. Well, maybe it isn’t my case!(sorry, I’m trying to do my best). Which are our weaknesses? Speaking, listening, and reading/vocabulary, also some of us get very nervous, others think that we speak slowly, and we have terrible problems when we speak in front of the class. Also, some of us commit grammatical mistakes and others speak so quickly, forgetting what they are saying… Self-confidence and hope! About activities and role of the teacher we prefer, it’s great to know that all of us like dynamics so we are open to new activities, and we also prefer a teacher who guide our knowledge and transmit us motivation for the subject, even though we may not be interested. Finally, out of class we love reading the same things, topics like psychology, music, politician, science and spiritual themes. To sum up, perhaps we seem so different but we have lots of things in common after all.
In my opinion the bilingual group is very important and there should be more people at this class.I think that lot of people of our age have a good English but maybe they are not confident enough to join to this group. I encourage all of the students that have doubts to join the bilingual class!
