End of the first term

Now I can speak English more fluently and I know the differences between the modal verbs. I enjoyed a lot Michael's classes, I have learnt a lot. I have learnt new grammar, and I worked in my pronuntiation , although I need to improve my presentation. We have seen that there are lots of difference between Spain and the USA such as decoration for festivities or houses.
