Hi Ángel !!

I agree with Roxana, you can add the answer to all the questions, but in anyway I think your journal is good. I haven't found any mistakes.

I think the exam was so long, but im my opinion, it wasn't difficult if you have studied.

See you, good luck for your exam's marks.

Hello!!

I agree with the girls, you can include the answer of the questions. But in my opinion in anyway the post is good an almost complete. I think that you also can include your opinion about the exam, but I think it is the same as that of all our clasmates, it has been a very long exam.

See you!! :) Good Luck

Hello!

I agree with my classmates you can include the answer of the questions, but you can also include the problemns with the sheets, Paqui said that we have to use less paper because we are on crisis. And like the rest of the class I also think that the exam was very long. Paqui please do it shorter for the benefit of our hands.

Good luck!

Hello!
I think the journal is complete and funny due to the pictures.
For me the exam has been a little difficult and also very large.
Paqui the next time we have to go to bed in the school.

Hello people!
I think it's a good journal but I think it's better if you write in present perfect. Some mistakes I have found are:
-...The exam was about the French Revolution and Restoration IT wasn't so much difficult...
-...The events WERE the storming of BASTILLE...
-...The first question: was about MATCHING...
-The third question: consisted on CHOOSING two questions between four questions.
(I'm not sure of these corrections) I think you can write topics instead of questions...
-Javi has come...

That's all ! Good luck, see you :)

Hello everybody,

I´ve read your opinions about the exam and you know what my answer is: you exaggerate. If you prepare the exams with time, you won´t have to sleep so little the day before and you don´t need to write so much. The problem is that you´re not trained and that´s why you think exams are so long.

Now the corrections:

Raquel´s corrections are OK, except for a preposition in her correction about the third question: it consisted of choosing. You have to correct the preposition everytime you use the verb "consist": it consisted of....

- ... other people have arrived later
-... this question was worth
-... Loius XVI had to call... and the Third Estateprotested
- Bastille
- Jacobin
-... but you had to choose
- ...Javi....do the exam orally

You could add your opinion about the questions: the most difficult ones for you, what mark you expected to have...

The results haven´t been bad, but the people who didn´t study much or did it in a bad way have failed or have got low marks.

That´s all. See you on Friday!
