saber como Ĩscar puede mejorar en inglés Si es así siento mucho no haber estado a la altura de sus expectativas y haber fallado como tutora No me voy a excusar diciendo que tengo millones de alumnos y muchos padres a los que atender Si se me pasado su petición le vuelvo a insistir que me disculpe De todas formas creo que nos hemos escrito varias veces y en ellas he recalcado que la problemática de Óscar es que no hace las redacciones y cuando las hace, son sin ganas y sin seguir las indicaciones explicadas en clase Si mal no recuerdo ustedes le hicieron repetirla otra vez Esto fue en el segundo trimestre De desde ese momento le he insistido que se tiene que tomar enserio el tema redacción, a él y a toda la clase. En el 3º trimestre, solamente hemos realizado una redacción más la del examen Una de ellas era una receta Les expliqué bien como tenía que ser y les dejé hacer parte en clase para podersela más o menos corregir Estuvieron al menos una semana y media para hacerla Pues bien, como no, el día de la entrega Ĩscar me entrega la receta, claro y como siempre, se ve que está hecha deprisa y corriendo, como se suele decir Ahí no queda la cosa, el último examen que hicimos entraba redacción, pues bien, su hijo se dejo en blanco, por lo tanto un Y mira que cuando me entregó la receta le volví a recalcar la importancia de la redacción ¿Les contado Ĩscar todo esto?, porque es muy fácil echar la culpa a la profesora Le dije cuando supo su nota final que todo había sido por el de la redacción y que tenía unas notas muy bajitas en los examenes de este último trimestre y que no aprobó ningún examen de los libros de lectura Le dije que solamente se iba a presentar a la 3º evaluación Sabían que solamente se presentaba a los contenidos de la 3º evaluación?? Solamente le quedado inglés y pasaría sin problemas al curso siguiente y en bilingüe, cuestión que a mí nadie me preguntado De hecho todavía no había tomado una decisión clara sobre si aprobarle o suspenderle porque solamente le había quedado la mía, pero es qeu mostrado una actitud muy pasiva y él lo sabe. Con respecto al examen, no hay ningún problema, pueden pedir una copia del mismo escribiendo a jefatura y luego cuando se lo indiquen pasar a por ella. Vuelvo a reiterar mis disculpas por no haber atendido a sus peticiones. Un saludo María He vuelto a repasar todos los correos y la última comunicación que tuve de usted, bueno fue a través de su marido, fue mi respuesta a su petición de información de como iba Ĩscar en todas las asignaturas. Día 22 de mayo Al cual su marido me contestó un muchas gracias y que iban a tomar cartas en el asunto o algo parecido Desde ese momento hasta el día de hoy no he vuelto a tener ningún tipo de comunicación por parte suya, pidiendo información específica sobre cómo podría Oscar mejorar. Si es usted tan amable de decirme cuando me envió ese correo, porque después del 22 de mayo yo no tengo nada, y los que tengo anterior era para pedirme información del seguimiento de Ĩscar al cual contesté. Un saludo ... realise that something was wrong 028 It''s very kind of you to help me with the suitcase (APPRECIATE) I really _ me with the suitcase 029 The flight will probably be cancelled (PROBABILITY)... meal 037 Although I like him very much, I don''t want to socialize with him (LIKE) Much _, I don''t want to socialize with him 038 She had only just entered the house when the telephone... down 054 Giovanni''s unwillingness to speak causes problems with English (HAS) Due to the fact that Giovanni is _ with his English 055 I don''t mind at all if Susan records my
