my weekly musings

After looking at some online ads regarding studying abroad opportunities, I have found a couple websites that are helpful if one wants to carry out that exciting experience. I am going to analyse them, taking into account the convenience of getting involved in each one. The first website is  Euro Centres , specialising in language-learning courses in 6 continents! It has many professional features, offering a plethora of languages to learn. This website is fit for someone who wants to go abroad but not to necessarily continue a university degree. Other advantages, such as listing the price of the experience before-hand and guaranteeing it stays that way, is useful in order to set up an economic plan accordingly. The next website I found,  GoAbroad , takes the typical summer abroad to another level. This programme, lasting just a month, boasts an itinerary of 14 cities to choose from, in Asia and Europe. Students learn new things by taking classes while they travel. Hav...

Below are two examples of a report and a proposal. I am going to be analysing them and stating how they differ from each other. Proposal Source:   http://www.rubenvalero.com/english/content/cae-proposal (last accessed 18/11/2018) In this proposal we can see that there are headings for each paragraph. Of course, there is an introduction showcasing the aim of the proposal, followed by some background information on the problem. Then, the needs of the students are explained. In the last section, bullet points are used to display the actions that they would like to be taken. I would like to say that this proposal lacks some details to make it better:  it should back up the suggestions with arguments and facts, and it should also show emotions such as empathy and awareness of the reader's position and their problems.

New York City in 30 years By the time I am 50 years old, New York City will have made various changes in its urban core in order to meet the demands of its growing population. Skyscrapers will tower even higher above the ground to accomodate more offices and to increase the living space for the millions and millions of inhabitants that fill its bustling streets. Life will continue to be hectic, but measures to decrease pollution will have been taken. Since the top priority will be preventing smog from taking over the breathable air, eco-friendly electric transportation will have been put in place so as to get rid of exhaust fumes and thus relieve contamination. ... Next, I am going to share other places I would like to live in and why they are good. I have actually been lucky enough to have visited them already. San Francisco San Francisco is the ideal city: well-managed, clean, and located in a gorgeous bay with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge on one side an...

A weird but brilliant invention I found when scouring the web is the "Baby Stroller and Scooter Hybrid". This stroller is extremely convenient if you are in a rush since it enables parents to get around much quicker without the pesky stroller weighing them down. It comprises a regular baby carriage (that is interchangeable) with a step below in which the foot ought to go. With a swift motion of the lower body, the speed will increase by at least double. Additionally, this feature should distribute the weight more evenly since our body's strongest muscles are our legs and they can take more weight than our arms and back can. All in all, this product would be an innovation in terms of time and comfort if parents were more fun and daring. Nonetheless, precautions must be taken, otherwise they might put their baby in danger. To improve my English this week, I went to see The Wife  in original score. It was a heartfelt film that I thoroughly enjoyed because it talke...
