Task Nº7: Career-related Website Review/An Expert on your Field


If you've ever searched for language learning apps to use on your smartphone, you must know Duolingo. One of the great things about this app is that it has made language learning accessible to everyone. You don't even have to speak English to use it. But the question is: Is Duolingo good? Does it work? As an English language teacher, language learning is a big part of my life, and over the years, I’ve figured out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to learning a foreign language. The best thing about Duolingo and the reason it has become so popular is that it's free. You can install it on your smartphone and practice whenever and wherever you want. It has lots of different activities, most of them based on vocabulary and short sentences tasks, among many others. When it comes to the negative aspects, I have one major complaint: there are no explanations of grammar rules. You are just supposed to understand the rules intuitively as you go through the lessons, which are mostly multiple choice and translation questions. In short, it’s a great app but I suggest to use it as extra practice, not thinking about it as an English course.

Post Nº2: Why did you choose this study programme?

Image
Since I was 10 years old, one of my biggest dreams was to become an English language teacher. I remember when I was in 7 th  grade, I used to help all my classmates with their homework and my average marks were between 6.8/7.0 Why I decided to study English teaching then? Well, English is a universal language which can help you understand the world, so it is important in life because it’s one of the easiest ways to communicate with people around the globe. I truly consider it a great tool for facing the real world. When I started to teach my classmates, they were capable to understand me and then, our relatives and family friends started to ask me to teach their children English, to help them to improve their marks at school, and they did great. And this is how I became a teacher. Nowadays, I can say that the thing that I like the most is that when I teach, every day is different and it represents a challenge, and I simply love it. What about you? Why did you choose this study pro

TASK Nº6 - My Favorite Writer

Image
My favorite writer of all times is Julio Cortázar. He was born in 1914 and died in 1984. He was a novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He was one of the best novel and innovative Argentina writers of the 20th century. His uniqueness lied in the fact that he combined existential questioning with experimental writing techniques in his work which was unusual and fresh. It was due to this that he majorly influenced the Spanish-speaking readers and writers settled in Europe and America. Cortázar was one of the founders of Latin America Boom and a modern master of the short story. During his lifetime, he came up with various works of poetry and drama in the category of both fiction and nonfiction. In the ’60s, he published one of my favorite books ever: ‘Rayuela’ (1963), which is an open-ended novel or ‘antinovel’ that invites the reader to rearrange the different parts of the novel according to a plan prescribed by the author. During his career, Cortázar wrote lots of short storie

Task Nº9: My Favorite Food

Image
Pasta is my favorite food  and it’s also  the world’s favorite food. Before writing this post, I did some research and I found out that a survey taken in 17 countries confirmed that pasta is what people like to eat the most.  Pasta has become popular   for one thing :  because it is cheap and easy to prepare. Just cook noodles or other forms of pasta, make a sauce to go with it and you r lunch or dinner is ready . Many different types of meals can be  prepared  with pasta.  Also, i t tastes good and produces energy in the form of carbohydrates, which is why athletes eat pasta regularly.  As a product, it has some advantages as well. For example, it can  be kept  in the cabinet  for a longer  period of  time. You don’t have to  cook  it   at once.   However, and even though everyone knows that this dish is cheap, people still pay a large amount of money for it when eating out. The cheapness of this dish is crucial to its success and its continued popularity. In short, I
