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, vocabulary, among others.

Second, I have to learn a lot about this language: to acquire expressions, to learn vocabulary, to improve my pronunciation and my ear. I think that if I study hard and practice with other partners, I will be able to talk English fluently.

In short, to study English at the university has been a great experience, I had learned a lot, but there's still a long way to go. So I would just like to thank all my partners and teachers.

That is all for today, classmates and teacher! Have a nice day!

POST 1: A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT To choose only one country that I would like to visit is very difficult because I think that the majority of the people want to visit a lot of countries. But, for this exercise, I will talk to you about Italia. Why? There are many reasons to visit Italia, but the stronger, according to me, is that Italia is the country of pasta. In effect, there are a lot of dishes that have as ingredient pasta: spaghetti, lasagne, frittata, among others.  The things that I know about Italia According to the indicated by Federico Sanchez in the TV show "City tour" Italia have a lot of different types of architecture: neoclassical, modern, classic, among others. This makes Italia a great destination for architects, students, and amateurs. What to do? Italia has a lot of things to do. First, it may be noted that the principal cities are Roma, Venecia, Pisa, Milan, and Florencia. In this cities, we can visit museums, pala

Post 3: Films

Hello everybody, this week I'll talk to you about films! I love to watch films, for that reason i go to the cinema every week! The last week I saw “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” (originally “Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios”), a Spanish comedy-drama film directed by Pedro Almodóvar. I like comedies  very much! One of my all-time favourite films is “Annie Hall” (1977), an American romantic-comedy directed by Woody Allen. The film is about Alvy Singer, a comedian, and his strange relationship with Annie Hall. But I don't want to spoil it for you, so I'm not going to tell you more. In addition, the main characters are Alvy and Annie, and they're played by Woody and Diane Keaton, respectively. I love this film, because it is successful in capturing the essence of the city and the love. I have seen this film two times and I recommend it without a doubt. You have to see it! Finally, a film that I want to see again is “The seventh seal” (orig

Post 4: Friends “I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do. They're really saying I love you” (Louis Armstrong). Hi everybody, today i will talk about friends I think that a real friend is someone who accompanies you in good and bad moments. I considerer a real friend someone with whom I can have a realtionship of trust and mutual understanding. It is for that reason that i like people who are authentic and sincere. But, a friend is not always a person, a friend can be a city, a place, an animal… “ Paris, I miss you, old friend . We will see each other again . My great Paris” (Edit Piaf) About myself, I make friends easly, because i am a sort of sociable person. But, I must admit that a lot of time i am not the best friend, because I tend to spend too much time on my own: to study, play music, among other things. One of my closest friend is Alexis Villanueva. We met over two years ago in a sociology class, where we work together: we wrote about
