Repor Speech. Very Fun!

Today in class we practiced Reported Speech, it was very funny because we play step by step and I could speak with my classmates, what I didn’t like was that nobody was punished, ahhhh jajaja (XD). In this class we practiced a simulation of a meeting in the international bank and then we told our classmates about the meeting.


Although I’m bad in grammar, practice with other persons help me to lose the fear to talk, talk bad but talk. It was a nice activity.
