Christmas time

So Christmas time is coming! And with him Holiday! But this year is different, because of the crisis. One of my favorite things about Christmas is walking at the streets and see the light, but this time that will not be possible. L

At some way the crisis will be good for the Christmas spirit, because nowadays people just care about the present and that kind of stuff. So this year we don’t have to worry about what we are going to give to people and we just can spend the time with the people that we most care about.

Oral Presentation

Today I did an oral presentation which team was peer pressure. My group chosen the song “perfect” sang by the American singer Pink. I think that it was a good chose because the music is beautiful and is about two teams that we study: peer pressure and stereotypes. My group was very well but I wasn’t comfortable talking to the class. I guess I have to work on my oral expression.


    So here is the song:

Stereotyping

Some people claim that the young generation is lost and that teens just care about having fun, but I disagree because they are stereotyping.
In fact, not all teenagers are addicted to video games. There are many teens that care about their future and try their best to become good persons. Of course, they make mistakes, but that is normal, because they are growing up and, as we usually say, we have to learn with our mistakes.
Another stereotype that people associate to teens is that they do not read books, but I’m a teen and I like to read books, so that’s also wrong.
So the best that you can do is don’t judge anyone only because of her age, because everyone is different and stereotyping can even hurt people.

Learning Journal- 1 #

We started our english classes on 19th September 2011.
On this first class we made ​​the presentation that was kind of a ice-breaker.
We also talk about our expectations for this year.
We did a diagnosis test, and I think that it was fine and that my strong point is the comprehension of the text.
One of the most amusing and interesting things was the presentation of the collegue because it created a good atmosphere in the classroom.
And then we did some exercises to see the difference between UK English and U.S. English

Learning Journal- 2 #

These two last lessons we've been doing a sheet, done in pairs, that is about the contents of the Workbook and Textbook. This exercise was good for us to familiarize with the books, to see how they are organized and see what we will study during this period. It was also a way to see how we work with our partner and if we can do the exercise in an organized way. In my opinion it was a fun and a different way to do this task
