Plataforma 2

The hardest task for me was the listening because the actors talked very faster and sometimes it was hard learn that they said. The easiest part was the quizs, especially those about interesting topics like education, stereotypes or The Simpsons. But the tasks about complete the sentences were very hard because the answer to the sentences were very similar.

Activities Experience

The activities in the web platform are good tools to grow our skills. But in my opinion there were activities that weren’t useless like online shops to buy desks. Quiz was a greatly method to exercise interactively, too the activities about complete the sentences with words or concepts. Writing and Reading are the skills that we have practiced more with text and presentation, without forget the listening activities. 

Blogs Experience

Blogs are an important tool to express our thinking and senses. In my experience I think that post in the blogs is a very good complement to our learning. We’ve acquired new knowledge as words, concepts and skills to writer. Too the blog´s themes were so funny, in special the last, where we wrote about our favorite books. Now it´s easier and quicker big texts and they will have more contents.

Exercising in blogs I feel more prepared to communicate on this globalized world. It´s very necessary to know English if we want participate with other people of different countries. In the future I like tell to the classes about the blogs in the session to practice the oral and not only what is written.   

I think that we could have written about different themes in the first blogs. I like themes as our dreams, places that  We want to visit, ideas to change the world, beautiful family moments, etc.

But I hope that this tool keep in the time  because it´s very useful and more if complement with oral tools as dissertations, expositions, etc about the same blog´s themes for that I have more energy talking about my favorite things.

My favorite books

Hi, I will tell you about a theme that I admired: books.  The first book that I read was Ancient History. It was an illustrated book about different cultures in the past. I like History books; in my house I have an encyclopedia that it has 800 pages!!! But my favorite books are the realist old novels. I have three favorites novels: Ana Karenina was written by Leon Tolstoy. It tell stories of the Russian aristocracy. War and Peace is of the same author, and too tell stories about Russian aristocracy but the special in these works is that They show so much themes of the humanity like the love, war, betrayal , passion, friendship, etc. And finally 100 Years of Loneliness, written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, tell about a family that lives in Macondo. During 100 years the Buendias and his descendent live too much experienced like love, death, passion and forgotten.

I am always reading a book. It´s my best company in my Metro´s travels. I´m reading a book that It´s called Sense and Sensibility. It tells ths storie of love of sisters for a pair of men.  Greed and ambition represent the core of this book. It was written by Jane Austen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Fast food

Hello friends, Do you like fast food? Well, in my opinion fast food is the tastiest in the world.  I love it because it´s cheaper and more delicious that home food.  Also I like it because it´s perfect to share with friends in parties or meetings.

I prefer eat fast foods in Malls because I feel more comfortable in those places. The worst places to eat that food are in itinerant business because I have sickened there.  McDondalds, Fritz, KFC, Tarragona or Telepizza are my favorite places to eat fast food, always with good company like my girlfriend or my best friends.  To these places I go one time for week aprox.  However in vacation I can to go until three or four times in a week. I know that´s not healthy but I tried don’t eat very often. So I do physical exercises to offset it. I wait that wiil be effective.

My favorite fast foods are cheese hamburgers, pizzas, cheese patty, hot dogs, etc. I love cheese food.  So I like it Italian hamburgers and BBQ.

Good bye classmates.  

The expert that I admired

Max Weber

Hi, today I'm going to tell about the expert that I admired: Max Weber. He was born in 21st April 1846 in Germany. He was a philosopher, economist, jurist, historian, political scientist and sociologist. Weber is considered like the founder of modern Public Administration through of an antipostive vision. He died in 14th June 1920. 

Weber worked all his life in different areas of the Social Sciences, highlighting his written about Sociology and the modern bases of Public Administration. Example of that are Politics as a Vocation and The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism. 

His thinking influenced to big thinkers of all XX century that belonged to the Hermeneutic movement like Habermas, Adorno or Horckheiner. 

I like him because he was an clever and studious man that dedicated his time and energy in develop the Socials Science. Weber worked for his country in moments where the chaos and anarchy threatened the integrity of the German people. 

Thanks to him my carrer is what today it is. 

My Favorite Film

Hi classmates, how are you?? I’m going to tell you about my favorite film: Midnight in Paris. It’s starring by Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams. This film tell the story about an American writer (Wilson) that goes to Paris with her fiancée (Rachel). So Wilson walks for Paris where has adventures that carries to the past. I love this film because show the best of Paris, its culture and its spirit. Too it shows scene of an ancient Paris and recreations of greatest writers and artists of the past centuries.

The first time that I saw it was for an accident. I turned on my TV and had a scene of Wilson in Versailles. That captivated me. My likes include historic films like Troy, Inglorious Bastards, Alexander, or Comedy films like Click, Jackass, etc. The most recent film that I´ve seen was Valkyrie starring by Tom Cruise like the Coronel Staufenberg, who plane kill to Hitler in an attack. This way would terminate the WWII.
