SELF ASSESMENT

The activity I liked the most was the recording of the song in class, It was funny to make that.

I think I´m good at listening but I´m not so good at translation. The best thing I did was writing.

The thing about culture that made me surprised it´s the tatoos and the culture of the tribes. I
