WEEK 15: THAT´S ALL FOLKS... First of all, when I heard that we had to do a blog I just though it would be boring because of the experience that we had in our first course. However, I think the exercises were pretty pleasant and entertaining and I loved the fact that we had to give our opinion in almost every part of the exercise so that we didn´t get tired of it. Moreover, the best part was adding pictures because the topics of the exercises were very original and enjoyable. I don´t have any particular criticism to make. Thank you for making it funnier. Finally, I am going to say that this week I have been practising my English by studying a lot for the final exams!!!!!!! I hope everying works out for us three!

C O L O U R S After doing some research on the internet and looking some articles on the meaning of colours, I choose this one:  https://graf1x.com/color-psychology-emotion-meaning-poster/ I opt for this article because it explains the meaning of all colours in a very clear and concise way and without beating around the bush. It is simple to get for everyone and it allows for understanding how a colour can make you feel in a particular way, especially depending on how they are used (in art or in advertisement, for example). I'm sure you will immediately recognise this well-known picture: The Starry Night, by the famous post-impresionist artist Vincent van Gogh. At first sight, it is noticeable that the colour that predominates the scene is blue, with some yellow and white brush-strokes. In his works, he mainly used colours in order to manifest his emotions, and, in this case, the contrast between the blue of the sky, mountains and houses, and the orange and yellow of the

The last film that I´ve seen is called "High strung" a 2016 American drama film where our main character is Ruby, a classical ballet dancer who gets a scholarship into the Manhattan Conservatory of the Arts. While in the city she meets a young violinist named Johnnie who plays in the subway. After Johnnie´s violin is stolen they start getting to know each other and they end up falling in love while practising for a competition.  In my opinion, this film has a lot of clichés but if you just want to have a good time and take your mind off of things it´s your kind of film.  I would also like to recommend some my favourites films, books and shows. Films:  Books:          Shows:  To conclude, in order to improve my English this week I have been studying for the last part of our exam and doing lots of exercises.

WEEK 12: THE FASHION SHOW https://youtu.be/q438-QXTlGs (until minute six) The interview started when the interviewer told Billie Eilish that everyone wanted to know more about her. So, the interviewer asked her how was it like to be raised in Los Angeles. Billie´s response was that she hated the weather in there and that she had homeschool and everything she had ever learnt was all of her interest and nothing by force. After this, the interviewer asked Billie how did she know how to write a song. She said she had to write her feelings down so that she would feel better. Then the interviewer suggested to talk about Billie´s music. Billie pointed out that she had just released her first album "Don't smile at me". After that, they continued talking about Billie´s lyrics.              These are some pictures of my favourite trendy clothes and outfits: To conclude, I would like to say that this week I have tried to improve my English by doing rephrasing

After searching on the internet for a quite long time I finally found this example of a report: 24 October 2014 On 22/ 10/2014, a colorful and memorable Cultural Fest was organized in our school. This event was whole day long and was held in the auditorium of our school. In this mega event, many schools from our city took part. The grand show commenced by the arrival of various teams from schools. Then the Chief Guest, the District Collector ,of our District, arrived with his wife. There was a colourful welcome followed by lighting of the lamp. It was accompanied by a melodious Saraswati Vandana , hailing the goddess of knowledge and wisdom. It was followed by a welcome speech given by the Principal of our school. Then there was bouquet presentation to the invited guests and the grand event began.

                                           WEEK 9: URBAN LIVING In this picture we can see the port of Cartagena.  Cartagena is the place where I currently live and where I have spent all my life. However, I am not sure if I would still live in there when I get older.  When I am 50 I believe this port will be pretty much the same but it will have a few changes. For instance, I think it might change its form due to the addition of some buildings or even factories that would damage our beautiful scenery and ocean life. I hope this never happens but this is actually how the Earth is being treated everyday, more and more.                                   For me, Ireland is the perfect place to live because you can connect with nature and be in touch with the media at the same time.                           Japan would also be an excellent place for me to live because japanese culture is really appealing to me and the scenery is absolutely

ODD INVENTIONS UMBRELLA FOR DOGS Taking your dog out for a walk is a tedious task when there is rainy weather. Nevertheless, this curious invention will make your life easier: an umbrella for dogs! This umbrella is designed especially for them, so they should avoid getting wet during the walk. Its structure is almost like the one of a typical umbrella, with the slight difference that the part of the tarpaulin is turned upside down, so the human could hold it just over the dog. The lead is placed inside the pole because is still important that the dog remains tied up, and, this way, the owner still have one hand free for her own umbrella. This invention could be very useful if it is used in the right way, but I think it may be simpler if we just provided the dog with a raincoat and his normal lead. Anyways, I think this funny invention is worthy to be proved! f     Finally, in order to improve my English, I have been studying the subject Lengua Inglesa III for my finals an

To start with, I truly believe that the key to have a successful business is being very constant and hard-working. Also according to some websites creating a business plan, knowing your customers and how to reach them through advertising as well as behaving in a ethical way are good ways to ensure the success of our business. Added to this, the best five things recommended in the website for me are: 1. To conquer our fears. Most people are terribly afraid of failure and it´s perfectly normal when we face such a huge challenge but overcoming this fear is the very first thing we should do. 2. To understand finances. I find this extremely important because if we don´t know how finances work we won´t make our business last. 3. Having the right attitude. It´s not all about winning money, in my opinion knowing what we really stand for is also really important. 4. To acquire partners. Developing a successful business it´s really hard so we should try to find the right team of partne
