POST 10: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES Hello teacher and classmates, this week I'll talk to you about my experience and opinion relating to studying English at the university. First, I have to say that to study English at the university is very different from to study English at the high school. In this sense, at the university you can use computers, to talk with your partners –to practice pronunciation, vocabulary and general things about the language- and the teacher is very concerned about your learning, which is appraised in the permanent feedback. One way, which has been effective for my learning, is the use of blogs: doing blogs I learned about grammar and vocabulary, principally. Other way, which also has been effective for my learning, is the “video tests”, in which I had to record to myself with my phone while has talking about a specific topic (my future job, a subject I enjoyed at school, among others): doing video tests I learned about pronunciation, grammar, vo

POST 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME. Hello teacher and classmates, this week I'll talk to you about some changes that could be made to my study programme !

On the other hand, about the faculty facilities, that is to say, buildinds and infraestructure, i think there aren&

Hello teacher and classmates, this week I'll give my opinion! What is your opinion about recycling? In my opinion, to recycle is currently fundamental if we want to stay alive. In this sense, the effects of global warming have received ample coverage in the press, the policy and the academic world, and, indeed, it has been clearly shown that to recycle is a way of counter this ecological disaster: the enterprises, the persons, the institutions and everyone must recycle! What is your opinion about child labor? In my point of view, the first thing that calls our attention here is an important and apparent contradiction: an economic system which “generates peace and prosperity” and a mass of poor children who are forced to work to survive. We must understand that the problem isn’t the Asiatic countries, where are the children’s, the problem is the structuration of the economic system. What is your opinion about violence on television? In my point of view, if
