Diego Sánchez English report

     This semester was pretty good for me. Even with all the changes of teachers and other stuff, it was good. Now talking about the English class, I was a bit anxious getting to know the new teacher because I didn’t know how she would teach or if she would be strict, but she is nothing like that. In the first class, she told us that she always likes to play a game at the start of the class, one time we played jeopardy, then hanged-man, etcetera. 

 

     Going into all the topics that we saw, first was narrative tenses. Basically, it is about the four narrative tenses that exist: past simple, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous, its structures are the following:

 

Past simple:


subject + verb in the simple past.

 

Past continuous:

subject + verb in past + verb ing 

 

Past perfect:

subject + had + verb in the past participle

 

Past perfect continuous:

subject + had + verb ing

 


     After studying that topic for a while and practicing it with some exercises on the book, we did a Kahoot, which is something that I really enjoyed. I think that doing Kahoots after studying a topic for some time, makes me memorize the structures and names better than just doing basic exercises, definitely I hope that we can make more activities like that one because it’s kind of off the daily routine of activities that we always do, I hope other teachers start applying this types of dynamics to their classes because they really help me process the information way easier.

Literature fair

Imagen
On Wednesday, November 15, 2023, an event called “Feria de la Lectura” held in the auditorium of the Xochicalco University. The event consisted of, as its name suggests, a fair where there were numerous stands representing a theme related to reading. Third semesters were responsible for preparing the stands and making the magic. We were assigned one stand per group, with a topic related to literature. We were in charge of decorating our stand, preparing an activity and making an exposition of our topic. Our classroom, 304, had the incredible opportunity of presenting about literary creation. We were divided into four teams to make the best of our presentation. There was a decorating team, an exposition team, a printing team, and a team in charge of giving prices. We also divided the time of the fair into shifts. In every shift, there was one or two members of each team. At 7 A.M. the decoration started, but, for some reason, our decoration team was allowed to go to the auditorium at

  Yareli Moreno   This semester was definitely not what I expected, it was full of surprises and situations that made me feel sometimes bad or anxious, but other times were great and I felt like I could do anything!    Lot of changes happened, many teachers went to other schools and others came, that was the case of the English class. Approximately a month ago, a new teacher came, teacher Acuña. She really made a change when we got to our class, learning was suddenly easier and classes were not as stressful as they were before.  The first topic that we learned was “Narrative tenses”, its structures are the following: Past simple  Subject + Verb in the simple past Ex. I visited Japan. Past perfect  Subject + had + Verb in past participle Past continuous  Subject + Verb in past + Verb ing  Ex. I was living in Japan. Past perfect continuous  Subject + had + Verb ing   Learning that topic was not hard at all, I don’t know if it is because of the teaching method of the teacher or if I’m sud
