Self evaluation

So... The year is nearly over, and people are getting nervous and excited about the selectivitat exams and their university joins.
After all but, we can't forget our dear portfolio so, here goes my self evaluation.

After all I would give not more than a 7/10
I'm not a good student, very lazy and so i think this mark is more than a exageration but afterall, i must admit that i am perfectly able to converse in english without no problems at all, and so thats what english wants us to learn: english

Anyway... i think i worked harder this term so i think a 7 is a good mark (ok, i desire more but i'm selfcritical).

So Lourdes... and of course Sonia too:

3- Life in the Jane Austen's times (bonus material)
Comment on some differences that caught your attention.

Jane Austen is the author of Pride and Prejudice. She lived during 18th century.
The most impacting thing is that she used to hide for writing because she didn't wanted to be seen, yet in her eyes it was not a good thing to do.
something not strange for the era but for our society is that she had to marry a man she didn't like at all. The search of real love and the fact that she had to marry as she didn't wanted influenced deeply in her writing.

Groombridge Place

Its the house of the Bennet's but its actually the property of Mr. Collins, The next servant from Lady Catherine De Bourgh, the aunt of Mr. Darcy of Pemberley.

There have been manor houses on the site of the present Groombridge for centuries. The earliest mention of one of these is from 1239, when the Lordship of Groomsbridge was granted to William Russell. William and his wife Haweis built a small moated castle at Groombridge, and, later that year, were granted a charter by Henry III of England to build a chantry. When William died in 1261, lordship was granted to Henry de Cobham, 1st Baron Cobham, heir of the influential Kentish family, the de Cobhams.
The is also a secret garden were the owner of Groombridge Place died while reading a book. He's buried at the same place.

There are many ghost stories at Groombridge Place. The ghost reported most often is the ostler. The ostler is reported to have drowned in 1808 and is usually seen wearing a rust coloured smock and standing in the doorway the cottage that backs onto the moat. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle describes his encounter of a ghost in his book "At the Edge of the Unknown".
