hi PABLO.
Great!!! good answers, there are some grammar mistakes but they don´t interfere with comprenhension.
That´s it. Obamas focuses more on the economic crises and the Queen´s speech focuses more on the Commomwealth and its importance in the world today.
We´ll discuss more about it in class.
Excellent. Another good mark for you!!!


Hiye, "dragon" or whoever are you....you have to identify yourself, otherwise it is quite difficult to give you a mark.
Pay attention to your grammar there are some mistakes. Remember that nationality adjectives in English are with CAPITAL LETTERS.
You are right in your answers ,although you don´t mention anything about the economic crisis. We´ll discuss more about it in class.
Remember to write down your name...
