This portfolio presents my experience in the course: upper elementary English, this course
aimed to develop the skills of analysis, reasoning and communication of their thinking
through problem solving enabling perceive and interpret their environment from space
English perspective, facilitating future assimilation of more complex learning in the area of
language, promoting scientific and technical research for computer science. During this
semester I know about grammar structures, the present simple, the present continuous, past
simple past continuous, present perfect, comparative and superlative forms, and
vocabularies
The techniques presented by the teacher helped me improve as a computer professional
future.

2do Semestre “A”
My name is Mary Auxiliadora Velez Mendoza, I am a student of elementary English course
ALTO, currently the third semester course at the Faculty of Computer Science at the
Technical University of Manabi. I am a responsible and very careful in all my classes.
My main areas of interest include software, hardware, technology, among others.
My goals are to become a professional engineer in Computer Systems, have a good level of
performance. In the future when I finish my career in systems engineering, I continue to
study and specialize in a branch of my current profession. To maintain good economic
situation given my studies. Thanks to the teachers and all those who helped me the past,
and now to stay in the place I am, and to achieve goals given me in this.
With my knowledge acquired in school, and high school teachers who taught us to excel in
our level of knowledge which would help us to all the obstacles we submit in the course of
life to get to college we implemented that knowledge and new teachings which helps us in
our daily work, when we are professionals and can help more people.
The first person to help me when I finish my specialty would be my mother because she's
sacrificed a lot for me to study and be someone in life. And where we are to keep me and
my siblings, help people who need help because it is human, and we all came for a reason
in this world.

Easy
The theme was easy hiso this continuous since its structure is nothing but increase you had
q ING, in the present simple using frequency adverbs and expressions, the use of who, what
and where,
Difficult
The issue that made it difficult was to sort the words by asking questions, some verbs in the
present continuous not carry the ING, that in the expressions of some of these phrases often
come at the end of the sentence
What I learned
That the present continuous is used for things that are happening at the moment, one can
use the who or That for some prayers, the simple present is used for things that are done
every day, week or year.

express things that happened or will happen.
What I learned
Learn the use of comparative adjectives superlatives, these are to describe a person or thing,
even if it was big or small, etc..
And use comparative adverbs that was difficult if well or poorly
