Some things that we've done are unnecessary, and some of my calsmates think like me. For example, writing a blog. What's the use of the blog??? Some friends said me that it's only for practise typing.... and I'm just think the same, they are right. I'm doing compositions, uploading some viedos and another things... but nobody corrects my mistakes (here there will be a lot!!) About the porfolio, more of the same. What's the use fo copying compositions, descriptions that I've done before? I undestand the theachers' point of view (everybody could see you compositions, it's more fun and interactive...) but I think (and this is the main theme) that they are wrong, because this means that we have extra work, copying everything to our blogs and porfolios.
But as I said before, there are also things that I agree with. For example, oral presentations. With these orals, I've improved in my oral English speach and in my embarrasment when I've had to speak in front of people. Moreover, speaking with a native teacher like Anika, it's fantastic because you can improve you accent and improve in you convesations.
In conclusion, I think that more grammar is needed urgently, because people will say that(look the picture), and we have too much time (wednesday classes) to do things like computers, blogs and porfolios. However I'm happy about the orals and I hope thay next year this new project will improve too.

I'm sorry to hear that, Jaume.
I really appreciate your sincerity but just have a look at your first entries in the blog and now, don't you think you're much more fluent now than before?. Did you spend a long time thinking about your writings and checking words in the dicctionary or grammar book ? or it came along unconsciously.
There aren't a lot of mistakes in your writings, they are correct, maybe not accurate but I'm completely sure that without all the work done on the portfolio and blog you woudn't be so fluent!!
Are you sure that grammar is so important to communicate in English ? You say you've improved your speaking with oral presentations, I can tell you that you have improved your writings.
Did you have a lot of problems with the reader? and with the listening exercises?
If the answer is not a lot, it means that you are prepared for the future, in English !!
Be more optimistic, please !!
