Reflection:
For me making this
exercise was very nice. It
reminded me how nice it
is to read a good book,
which is something that I
don’t do for a while.
Stephen King is one of the
authors that that I like,
even if I just read one of
his works “Misery”, I
followed some of he’s
other works on the big
screen. Now it was
interesting to read he’s
own life story. So far I’m
enjoying
the
English
learning of the verbs in
the Past Simple. This work
I thing I could have done
it better, but at the
moment it has been such
a rush, because it’s our
last mouths in class.
