Final Survey

The portfolio was a great way to expand my spanish speaking skills to the next level. If I were to do this over, I would probably not procrastinate so much on getting it done. There is a lot of work involved in ,making a portfolio in spanish but in the end I felt it did help me to see my mistakes and fix them to make myself a better student. I most likely would not keep this after I leave this class only because I am lazy.

Formal writing #3- El Medio Ambiente

Muchos problemas con el ambiente. En mi comunidad, hay mucho polución en los lagos. También mucha contaminación en el aire. Los pescados de los ríos y lagos son morir porque no viven en agua limpia. También, es difícil para nosotros viven cuando el aire esta no bien. Por ejemplo, en otras comunidades ellos tienen un mismo problema. Tienen botas de basuras que produce contaminación en el mar. En la Florida, un mayor problema es energía. La gente conduce mucha energía para sus cosas y varias otras cosas. Es muy malo que la gente ser un mayor problema y la causa. Necesito que nosotros informemos las personas a la destruyendo de la capa de ozono. Es importante que digan las personas que hacer porque ese ayuda el mundo. Cuando la gente está informa a los peligros de polución, esperar que ellos pararan. Un ejemplo esta tienen el presidente pronunciar un discurso a los efectos negativos todos las personas tienen en el ambiente. Pienso que las gentes del mundo recibir el información y ayudan a salvar la planeta pronto.
