Hi everyone, here's all the new vocabulary that I have learnt during this Third Geography Unit. It is about population.
BIRTH RATE: Number of births that take place in a population over a year. It is calculated by dividing the number of births in an area over a year by the total population:the result is multiplied by one thousand.
DEATH RATE: Number of deaths that take place in a population over a year. It's calculated by dividing the number of deaths in an area over a year by the total population and multiplying the result by one thousand. The death rate is expressed as a number per thousand.
NATURAL INCREASE: The number of births minus the number of deaths. The rate of natural increase(RNI) is the birth rate minus the death rate. It is expressed as a percentage(%). It can be calculated by dividing the natural increase by the total population and multiplying the result by 100.
INFANT MORTALITY RATE: Number of deaths of infants under 1 year dividing the number of births in a year, per 1000.
LIFE EXPECTANCY: Average years that one person may expect to live. I also shows welfare and economic and social status of a country.

SELF-ASSESSMENT
Hi there, we are finishing first term so here's my Self- Assessment.
I think my English has improved a lot during this term because I've learnt a lot of new vocabulary(school exchanges, films...) expressions that I didn't know before...
I loved the way Cristina taught English because I had a good time during classes and I didn't get bored at all. Each day we did something different and that is good because every day we learnt new things. I liked "Can't stop the feeling videoclip" a lot. We did a great work and the final result was amazing.
I think my greatest strenghts are grammar, writting, vocabulary, translation... Well, I'm not sure. I'm quite good at all the strenghts. To be honest, I don't now which are my greatest strenghts or my weaknesses. There aren't big differences between them! I love English so I always work a lot on it because it's my favourite subject and I like everything of it.
My favourite skill I think is translation because It's very useful and interesting for me translating some senetences from one language to another . I also enjoy listening and reading. In my free time I love watching films in Enligh because I want to listen to the original voices of the actors, in English. I like the accent and I feel good when I understand what they are saying. It happens the same with books, I love reading in English.
In Geography I learned a lot too. Now I know how the distinguish between different climates and how to describe them. I also learned how to talk about population and different words releated with this topic and their meaning
In next term, I have to upload the posts before. I had a lot of exams and projects and I didn't organise well but at the end I have done all the posts.
I worked a lot and I'm quite proud of myself .Of course, I can improve next term but I'm really happy for the moment. In general, I think I did a good job.
Have a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year and enjoy them with your family and friends.
Bye for the moment;D

VALLADOLID AND PEÑAFIEL TRIP
On Wednesday 2nd November we went to Valladolid and Peñafiel. We took a coach at 8:00 and we arrived there around 10:00.
First we went to the Main Square and we had some free time so we walked and visited some shops. We had a great time!.
Then we went to "Miguel Delibes" theatre and we watched and listened to a classic contemporary concert called "Vox Balaenae". It was a bit strange but I liked.
After that we had lunch near to a stadium called "José Zorrilla".
Then we took once again the coach and we went to Peñafiel Castle and The Wine's Museum. I loved the castle, It was so big and I found it very interesting. The Wine's museum was OK, but it wasn't as entertaining as the castle.
Finally we returned to Villamayor.
This trip was fantastic because we had fun with our friends and we also learned a lot.
Here are some pics about the trip.
