Reflection paragraph
This month is almost finishing, and I could have realized some aspects of myself I left
behind by the time. One of these aspects is the assistance: Several months ago, I
considered myself a responsable student with no records of absence or tardiness. I think
it´s because of the schedule -too early for me- and also the vehicular congestion
Angamos Avenue suffers in these days. Even though, my grades aren´t too bad (they are
not perfect but I am still trying to pass) and I hope I pass this course with no problems.
In addition to that, I learned a little about new topics of English, all that is referred to
adverbs. I can´t remember if it was explained before but now I can say I know some of
it. For example, I never knew terms like implied and inverted condition. It was new for
me and it costed me a bit to learn in a good way. This month had these surprises that
demonstrate we are in constant learning, and also with the funny interaction with our
teacher this was easier.
To conclude, I hope AG03 was one of the most difficult months for me but also the
surprising ones with new things to learn and enjoy. Such an amazing one!
