Hola a todos!!


El presente blog es una actividad que el maestro de ingles Juan Enrique Cabrales, nos sugirio realizar este semestre para que pudieramos mejorar nuestra habilidad para escribir en ingles.

Este blog me ha ayudado para ver la diferencias entre escribir en espaƱol y escribir en ingles. Siempre se me ha dificultado escribir en ingles pero eso me pasa por que no suelo hacerlo muy seguido, con este blog he practicado mi escritura y ahora me doy cuenta que es practica lo que me faltaba. solo tenia que esforzarme un poco mas para desarrollar esta habilidad y este blog fue una buena herramienta para esto.

Me gusto la idea de un blog por que es una forma agradable de practicar la escritura ya que escribimos sobre lo que nos interesa.

"Gracias por leerlo"

Anime (right)!!!


I love to talk about Anime but this is the first time I´m going to write about it. I want to show you the ones I like the most and the ones I hate. Most of my friends are involved with this beautiful and exciting world and I know they are going to read this post but I´m not the kind of person who lives in a bubble and there are some other friends who live a completly normal life (jaja...) and they don't have any idea about ANIME.
Anime is Japanese animation (cartoons) and its beginning dates from 1917. There are some series you can watch on Tv but there are some others you have to get in video.
The first anime I watched in Tv was Dragon Quest. Some years later when I was 11 years old I watched Evangelion. It was the first OVA (Original Animation for Video) I got. My favorite Anime genres are shounen Ai, fantasy, bishounen, seinen and sometimes Yaoi. The genres I don't like are Mecha and Hentai.

Nowadays the animes I like the most are:
1.- Junjou Romantica, Loveless, gravitation, Naruto, Bleach

troubles!!!


Last Sunday my little sister and I went to my aunt's house because my cousin was there. Yocelin is her name. She has lots of things in common with me so that we get along great. She is studying in Monterrrey. She likes singing and dancing. She Loves the Japanese Animation as much as me and we love going to the movies.

When my sister and I got there, Yoceln was watching the Tv.. She looked a little bored so we decided to go to the Laguna del Carpintero. We got a lot of fun that day. At night we watched a movie. Next day we woke up at noon. in the afternoon we watched some others movies and at night we went to the fair.

While we were at the fair my parents called to say they wanted to go for my sister and me to my aunt's house. I told them we were at the fair. 30 minutes later my parents arrived to the fair and we all spent a beautiful night together.

letters


The following is an example of a complaint letter the teacher requested us to improve our writting skills.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Last weekend my boyfriend and I arrived at your popular cafeteria looking for a very nice time to spent together. The motto in your window reads "where your friends are as special as you are". Unfortunatelly the services that day didn't reflect those words.

As soon as we arrived there we had the chance to sit at a table and we waited for almost half an hour for the waiter to help us. There were not to many people for this to happen but I have to point out that the music was good and this helped us to be patient. However when we were finally service the waiter spilled a cup of coffe on my grand new jacket. It costed me $15 dollars to have it clean.

Mi jacket doesn't look that good anymore. I had never had an experiance such as this anywhere. I hope you can understand my complaint because I want you to refund the money for another new jacket.

Sincerely yours,

Paola Gloria

Silly Questions, Brilliant Answers


* The reason people turned down Bowerman's idea was that they weren't ready to take risks. It is something that usually happens with innovative ideas.

* I think that Smith's business professor gave him a C on the project because an overnight mail delivery service is not too interesting to take it as a businees project or maybe because Smith's project wasn't complete when he Showed it to his proffesor and was some years later that he really finished it and it became in the big and important company that is nowadays "FedEx."

* I think that Bowerman's NIKE athletic shoes idea has led to the most imitations.

* I'm always having lots of ideas but nothing original.

Creativity!!!

Lucy Gomez is the most creative person I know. She started piano lesons when she was only six years old. At school, she was always creating interesting projects in her art class. Whwn she was only 12 years old, she won a citywide poetry contest. Her parents were very proud of her.

Now lucy works as a sitcom writer for a popular TV show. She works with a group of writers, and together they have to think of fresh ideas. They also have to come up with funny dialog for the actors on their show because the actors have to play believable characters that will make the audience laugh. It is not an easy job, but Lucy does it well.

She strats work late in the morning and often works until 7 or 8 at night.

Lucy is very curious. She likes to travel and meet new people who have opinions that are different from hers. She often carries a notebook with her and writes down what she sees and hears. Lucy tells me that these new experiences are a good source of ideas for her work. I always enjoy talking to her and am happy to know someone as bright and creative as Lucy.
