Notes

When I was asked to do this work I thought I was not going to have time to do I it because I entered the school after my classmates. Throughout the day I saw I was not so long and I had time to �inish as the others. Overall, I didn´t have any problems doing the work.

CONCLUSIONS It is a type of task that teaches you to write, search and lay out information. It has not brought anything new because I knew how to do everything, however, I liked doing it.
