Welcome to your English Course


Dear students,
Welcome to your English class blog! I have been using blogs in my English classes as an extension of our classroom teaching. Blogs have become an important space to listen to each other. Large classes make it sometimes difficult for everyone to have a chance to express him/herself. So, let’s take advantage of this blog as an space to say all we did not have time to say in class, to express opinions and to share views. Participation in this blog is another way of participation, another way of using your English and a way to expose yourself to the target language. Remember 90% of your learning depends on yourself rather than on your teacher or on the few hours a week you come to class.
I’m eager to hear from you!

Hi everyone of my classmates!

I think that I had learned new kinds to express myself using diferent sentences that I didn´t know how to use it very well. for example Requests, Quantifiers, etc. I can learn because the teacher makes us to learn, I mean, she always plans or improvise funny ways to make us understand and learn. for example the blog. I think this is a very good idea, but at the same time I spend so much time trying to use the computer, I really don´t like to get in web, I´m a technophobe. I recognize that I have learned too much and get fun with some posters. I think is a good way to learn: have fun because we enjoy it, and it´s more easy to remember.

I like the classes because I never get bored, never get sleep. We often work in groups and that make us share vocabulary, experiences, and we work differents topics and ideas which make us increase our vocabulary and our culture.

I think watching FRIENDS is a tiring activity. the day we watch it in the Lab was the first time that I watch FRIENDS.
I really enjoy TOP CAT, I like it a lot.

The third day we go to Lab we watch an ambivalent movie, I mean, I dislike this movie, it´s bored and all the time I´m thinking at what time does the movie is gonna finish. And I had never understood why everybody say about the movie: "It´s a great movie. I had never watched anything like that. It´s a beautiful movie" -can anyone of you tell me why?- In spite of that I think the movie help me to practice "Listening".

I prefer to watch cartoons, I think are funnier than FRIENDS or A. I. Watching a movie with Al Pacino sounds better, don´t you (teacher) think it? -ha,ha,ha-

I think that´s the most important from this month.

Bye, see you on Tuesday.

Hi class!!!

A.I.

I think the movie was very good, I liked it a lot, because it talked about futurein a different way from other movies, because it mentioned a future with developed robots where they began to have feeling like humans. But they didn't hate humans in spite of the fact that people used them and sometimes they were cruel with robots. I believe the movie wanted to give us a hope.

I think the movie showed a future with advanced technology.

I liked the end. It was beautiful, because David got what he wanted.

See you tomorrow...
... have a nice day!!!!!
