Final reflections

I think this process was very interesting. I don’t remember to have made something like this before, but I am sure this helped us to improve our writing. The feedback was something very important for me for the reason that I could see my mistakes. Something that I liked too much is that we had to do it on computer, and for me, this way is better because we have the opportunity of correcting mistakes easier, besides, this way we don’t pollute even more our planet with papers.

Final reflections

This activity has been focused specially on writing, and I would like to say that I’ve loved it. It’s been a great experience where I worked in team, and I could enjoy it very much. I had a great group of work where we didn’t have any problem and could make everything went well, we were all responsible and creative. I really liked to start this activity, when I wrote my first draft I was listening to music and feeling very inspired; I felt like I did it right. Then, as the time passed we kept on working and writing, and I still loved how everything was going on. I’ve always found out that writing by computer is easier than by hand, and this activity confirmed it. I was scared when I knew that we had to make a collaborative writing, each one had to write a paragraph to complete a history; I thought we couldn’t do it well, but we did it! and the final version was great. When I had to revise and other people had to do the same to myself, I was very nervous because I didn’t want to receive too much critics, but everything turned out fine. Finally, I repeat that I loved this experience and I hope to have another one similar soon, hoping to keep on improving my writing and practicing like in this work.

Final reflections

I enjoy very much this process of writing about different kinds of topics and situations. I had never do something like that in other subject, so it was a nice experience. Personally, I like to write, although I don’t have free time to do it as I would like to. I realize that it’s very different writing in paper than in computer. I prefer writing in computer because it’s more easy for me. You can just think about what you want to write, do your pre-writing, and you can start to write in a free, relax way. When you write in a paper, sometimes you made mistakes and it takes time to fix it. The other thing that I like was receiving feedback from my classmates. Sometimes you don’t see the mistakes you made in your own writing, so it’s nice that other person can point that, or tell you that you should say something in a different way, using other words. In addition, I learn a lot of new things and I think is a very good way for learning how to write.

Final reflections

Writing all these drafts has been one of the entertaining processes I have put myself through. There were many factors that made writing these drafts a little difficult, but I learned a lot about puntactions and vocabulary. I enjoyed describing pictures and narrate videos. Writing on a computer is good because you can type faster than writing on a paper. In the feedback I feel super good receiving positive comments and I like reading the drafts of my classmates. These paragraphs let you improve your writing for the future making it more easier to type your ideas.

A great invention

I think cellphones are the most significant inventions because we can do almost everything with them. Years ago cell phones were only used as devices to do calls. Now, we communicate each other through facebook, whatsapp, line, skype, etc., which are applications that you can find or download in a cell phone, but nowadays you can do different things with cell phones, for example, surfing on internet to look for information about any topic, downloading applications in which you can learn a new language, or simply an application to entertain yourself with a game or one to download music. Also you can do your homework with them, or maybe have your study material in them so that, you can study. Moreover, you can take pictures with them. Another positive thing that cellphones have is that you can use them wherever you are and whenever you want. Besides, everyone can use them; in fact, it is not difficult to learn its use. Simply, cell phones are devices which have made our lives easier, and I think for everyone it is difficult to live without them.   

How to study for a test

How to study for a test

To study for a test it is necessary to consider many factors that may affect yourself at the moment you study. First, you need to be clear on when is your test, so you can prepare everything you need on time, like your books, notebooks, notes and extra materials; try to study at least two days before your evaluation, this way you will learn better and won’t feel under pressure, the time will depend on the quantity of subject-matter. If you have more than one exam in the same week, start studying the most difficult things and end with the easiest ones. The first thing your have to do is eating, have a little healthy snack, so your brain would be ready and have enough energy to save the information. The most important thing when you are going to study is checking the right place, it’s imperative that you choose a room where you can stay in silence, without mad noises, which have a good illumination, so you won’t have problems reading the matter, and where you have enough space, a desk and a comfortable chair to keep all your implements. Now to study you should organize all your stuff, start underlining the most considerable information, excepting details and examples. Then, summarize what you have already underlined in a sheet of paper and begin to study from that. If you repeat the matter at loud voice; it helps to make your brain learn faster. Take a pause of 10 minutes every hour you study, so you won’t feel very tired too fast. Finally, try to not study until late because if your brain doesn’t sleep well it won’t work at the moment of the test. If you follow all this steps and focus on the subject-matter you will get the best grades.

My role model, my sister

My sister isn’t the funniest, the greatest or even the most perfect person in the world, but she sure is all of that to me. My sister is someone I can trust, someone I can relate to and laugh with. She’s my role model, my friend, and in my eyes, the best sister anyone could ever have. I don’t think anyone can understand just how great my relationship with my sister is, and sometimes, I don’t even think she does. We love each other with only a love that a sister can give, and an understanding so great that no words can describe it. Of course I’m not saying that our relationship is perfect, but what I’m saying is, that it is quite different than the way most relationships are carried out.

We interact with each other differently than most people do in certain situations. When we fight, there is no physical contact or abusive language, only the occasional sharp word or glare. We aren't lovey, touchy like some siblings either. We give each other space but at the same time stick to each other like glue. I am  grateful for my sister and it makes me love her even more.Of course on the rare occasions that we do fight, one of two things happens: either we leave eachother alone or we try to break the tension in some way. Our fights, which as strange as it sounds, are another reason why I love my sister so much. When our fights are over and we have established the fact that, usually I, have done something in the wrong, we usually stay seated and wait for time to resolve our problems.

But this is not the reason why I love my sister so much, my sister's attitude is something that I adore. She is kind hearted, she is sweet and courteous to everyone she meets, she always says please and thank you, even to the bus driver, and she is always there to lend a helping hand. Her attitude and spirit is always something that I have admired and always something that I have sought to achieve myself. It's not as if I envy her or anything, I am far beyond that. I look upon my sister with something so indescribable and powerful, something so pure and sweet, that my heart bursts with happiness and pride.
