Yareli Moreno English report

 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 suddenly smarter! Anyways, it was a great topic. 

 

Some days later, and after some book activities to reinforce our previous knowledge, we started another topic, the “Future in the past”. This topic is used for the next situations:

  • To talk about intent in the past.
  • To talk about an event that wasn’t planned however happened anyway.
  • Indirect speech - Reporting a future form.



Here are some examples: 

  • Intent in the past

I was going to call you but I couldn’t find a phone.

  • Form would

I knew you would help me.

  • Form was/were going to 

I knew you were going to go to the party.

  • Form was/were

They were getting married that morning.

 

Between each topic that we started learning, we did some activities on the book, and after many classes that passed really fast, the semester is over.

Literature fair

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
