Self-Assessment

I have enjoyed a lot this three months with my class, I have learnt a lot of new vocabulary and also I have learnt how define the vocabulary. The classes are great, our teacher, Cristina, is always animating our class and making us laugh, also she has made me more extroverted. I think that my best strength is the grammar, except when I speak, when I speak I get nervous and I forget all the grammar. I have to improve the vocabulary I usually forget it. I go to particular classes and there I try to improve my vocabulary speaking with the teacher, also I have a game i the mobile phone in english and I try to understand all the dialogues. I hope that the rest of the year will be like until. 

                                                          Bye bye and Merry Xmas.

ACTIVITIES

1.Find out the principle of transference and describe it.

The Transfer Principle suggests that learning and performing one activity affects the performance of related skills and activities. This principle is essential for designing practice strategies that have the greatest positive impact on competitive performance.

Positive transfer means that practice on one activity results in improvements on another activity.

Negative transfer means that practice on one activity interferes with the performance of another activity. 

Zero transfer occurs when previous experience has no influence on the performance of a new skill or change in context of an existing skill.

2.Give me an example of each training principles

Principle of efective charge

A beginner may only need to work 40 % of their maximun to build strength while a trained athelete will need to work over 70%.

Principle of progression of the load

  For running when you begin you must run 30 minutes at 8 km per hour and one month later you must run 40 minutes at 10km oer hour.

Principle of Variety

 One period of time, like one month you can run 25 minutes, other month you can do weightlifting and other month you can go swimming.

Principle of optimal relationship between load and recovery

You run for 30 minutes and then you rest for 15 minutes.

The principle of repetition and continuity

Run 30 minutes and then stretch.

     Reverse action principle

Run  two days of the week and the other days doing more easy exercises.

The principle of periodization

Run 20 minutes each week.

The principle of individuality

 A person who do less sport can’t do the same effort than a proffesional.

The principle of specialization/ multilateralism

A NEW SCHOOL YEAR

My last year in IESO Tomás Bretón has just began. It will be more difficult than last year. But we have to be optimistic. This year we  all have to do our best and be even more responsible. Obviously,  that doesn´t mean that we can´t have fun from time to time. So we should enjoy this school year as much as posible.
