Blog Session No.7!

Themed post no.3: Favourite TV series.


My favourite TV series by far is Friends; I've seen a lot of series thanks to Netflix, but Friends is definitely my loved one!
I know is a very old TV series but is just that I can't get enough! This TV series lasts 10 seasons with about 24 episodes per season and I've watched this for I don't know... I lost the count! I know the dialogues and I always laugh about the same jokes and I even have a favourite character... Rachel! She is so funny, a bit shallow, shopaholic and with a crazy love life, maybe we all have an inside Rachel in our minds.
This TV series is from the 90's, the plot talks about a group of 6 friends and the relationships that they have created through the time, it is a comedy based on their lifes and all the adventures that they lived. This TV series has two main settings, one of them is the apartment in which Monica and Rachel lived together, and the other one was the coffee place called "Central perk", everything happened in New York, even though sometimes their adventures and crazyness took them to some other countries like London.
At the end this group consolidated their lifes, some of them got married, Ross and rachel had a daughter together, Chandler and Monica got married and adopted twins, Joey was too inmature to commite with someone so he of course stayed single. The last episode was very sad... I didn't want to finish!!! I've been wondering if the producers would like to make the reunion with an 11 season this time!

Blog Session No.6!

How Green are you?

That's my question to you this week. You have to write a post including:

- Where do people learn about enviromentally friendly practices?
- Have you incorporated recycling into your habits? Describe
- Do you use a bike or your legs instead of a car?
- Have you joined or supported any eco-organisations? Why/Why not?
- What else have you done /would you like to do?
- What have you done to reduce your carbon footprint? 
- What's missing in our society/Santiago regarding this issue?

>> Number of words: 220

This is mi example...

I think that to define ourselves as "green", we need to have a habit during our lives... I'm not sure if we all are green or if we all have green attitudes, because we can't avoid using the public transportation, or using some not eco-friendly products, but I think we can all be green people by doing some little things. 
Nowadays is very important being green, or environmentally conscious, our planet is suffering the consequences of years and years of not recycling or using the wrong products, so is part of our minds today being or trying to be green.
I've never supported any eco-organisations, but I try to do some things that I think they may help the environment: I try to not mix glass with paper, or cans with paper, I do not toss trash, at least not on the street, I would love to have a bike so I could go everywhere not using a car or the public transportation but I don't so I'm forced to use the subway or the bus.
I would love to have an orchard, so I could eat my own fresh and organic fruits and vegetables. I think those kind of things are missing in our society, being more conscious about the environment and just look at the consequences we are dealing with these days, I mean climate change, global warming, all those are the consequence of the carbon footprint and the damage that the humanity has caused. We should ride bikes, have or own orchard, stop using plastic botles, start recycling more and take care of our planet which is our home. 

Blog Session No.5!

Hello my dear students! Today dreaming is for free! And we will think about "Our Future Job".

- Word Count: 210 words

So... Here is my example....

I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a teacher, or something related to it. But When I was 16 I had this idea of becoming a teacher. Nowadays is something that I really enjoy when I'm doing it, but somethimes I have the feeling that I will not be here for long, I mean, I would love to study again some kind of masters or Phd; at this moment is very soon to start, but in a couple of years I will totally do it.

My area or field in English had always been Linguistics or something related to the acquisition of a second language, so I imagine myself in some years studuying this abroad and then teaching this at some uni in some continent. 

I imagine my job as a very quite and funny kind of job, I'm not an office person, I prefer to be moving around, I can't stay at the same place for long time, so changing classrooms is the closest thing that I have to be moving around. 

I notice some time ago that I'm totally in love with travelling and seeing new places, so if my job involves travelling around the globe, I'm in! 

On the other hand, I been always very friendly with kids, so sometimes I have ideas related to working at primary school and even kindergarden; children are amazing! The way they learn and the creativity they have is out of this planet! So working with them could be even funnier than travelling around! 

So... Now is your turn to dream about your future job! :) 

Blog Session No.4!

I'm regularly watching movies in my free time, and that's why I don't remember which one was the last  but I do remember the last time I went to the cinema.
Me and my boyfriend, who loves to watch action movies, and I hate it; decided to see "The Martian" or "Misión Rescate". I was a bit esceptic about this movie because I'm not a huge fan of action or that style of movies but time  ago I saw "Interstellar" and it was amazing! So I thought that this movie will be very similar.
The cast was very familiar for me, at least the protagonist Matt Damon, he is always acting in some space movie by the way.
Anyway, it started all very common, very american but while the movie was being carried on it totally trapped my attention. The movie talked about a NASA mission on Mars and how one of the astronauts got dumped by mistake from the crew of the ship. The capitain of the mission thought that he died during a storn in Mars when they had to leave the planet, but unfortunatly he wasn't dead, he was just injured!!!! So he had to stay alone, in Mars where nothing can grows :(
It was very sad seeing him trying to think on the options that he had to survive there, of course he had all the NASA implementation so he wasn't running out of supplies, and if you are an austronaut of course you have the enough intelligence to find the way to survive.
After days of living in this desert planet, NASA found out that he was actually alive!!! OMG! They tried to make some contact with him and after hundreds of solar days (I don't have any idea about what that means) they finally rescued him alive!
Can you belive if one of us being austronauts get caught in a desert planet? I would have survived just one day haha.
The movie was absolutely awesome and I totally recommend it to you! :D
