English Blog Experience

Hello Classmates!

Well, today it’s my last post, so it’s time to analyse what’s happen thought this English course.

I enjoy writing this blog, because the posts that we made were about a lot of different themes, the most were very funny, so it makes easiest the job  to explain things that you like and know very well,  in another language.  

My favourite post were “A concert or exhibition”, because while I were writing, I remembered the exactly moment, many sensations and details that in the concert itself you don’t pay attention to. Also, I like because I could read about my classmates experiences in live shows.

On the contrary, my least favourite post were “technology”, because I find a little bit bored to write about this things and above all, because I don’t have so many technological stuff, so isn’t  a main theme for me.

I enjoyed reading Gonzalo’s blog, because it has a lot of posts about bands and musical information, also I enjoyed reading Camila’s Blog, because were of the most attractive one with the design that she choose and the different posts images.

I think that, the blog method was a good language learning tool, because, as I said before, it made easiest to learn English, writing about things that we know and avoiding using technic words, which complicates everything.

A Cartoon

Hello Classmates! Today I’m going to talk about a TV show that I enjoyed watching when I was a child.

When I was a child I watched lot of TV shows, some days I spent all day watching TV. In those days I loved almost every program that was on Nickelodeon channel. But there was one that I liked more than others.

This TV show was called “Hey Arnold!” and it was about a nine year old guy named Arnold who lives with his grandparents and his pig pet Abner. They manage a boarding house where live some persons with different stories like Mr. Kokoshka, Mr. Hyunh, Ernie and others.

Arnold’s life runs in between his life in the boarding house, going out to play with his best friend Gerald and the kids of the neighborhood, going out to Public School 118 and the different activities and urban legends of  the city that he lives.

There are a lot of things that are a mystery in this cartoon, like its unknown where Arnold’s parents are (they get lost in the jungle), His last name was never show and we will never know what happen with his complex relation with his classmate Helga Pataki.

The series was aired on Nickelodeon channel from 1996 to 2004, but today it’s still repeated by different channels.

I enjoyed this cartoon so much, because it was fun and I felt that some of those things happened to me, especially for the games with the kids of the neighborhood and the fear that we felt when we heard urban legends, just like in the TV show!.

 

 

 

A Song

Hello classmates! Today I'm going to talk about a song that I like in this moment, well, I don't have just a favorite one, because I like a lot of songs.
This one it's called "Teardrop" and it's by Bristol band Massive Attack, featuring vocals of Elizabeth Fraser who is from a band called Cocteau Twins.
I like this song because the atmosphere that creates, which it's a calm one, something that is known in trip - hop bands. You can confirm this if you listen to Portishead, which it's another popular band in this genre.
My favorite thing in this song is Elizabeth Fraser’s voice, which gives a sweet side to it.
Well, everyone knows this song because was the main theme of the series House M.D, but the first time I heard it, consciously, was like a month ago.
This song was covered by The Red Hot Chili Peppers and a several bands through the years.
