That's all folks!


Well, we have reached the end of this term's blog. It seems like I was starting it just the other day! All in all, it was a wonderful experience which I would like to comment on. The positive aspects of blogging are plenty. Firstly, I loved that the prompts we were given for each post were not restrictive at all. That meant that we could let our creative juices flow and it was definitely a breath of fresh air from all of the heavily structured variations in this subject as well as in others. Moreover, the topics we had to write about were interesting, up-to-date and innovative. In other words, I did not feel as if the prompts were boring or repetitive. Additionally, the fact that it is in blog format enabled me to write more comfortably and freely, as my preferred method of writing is, in fact, online or in some sort of word processor. It way more aesthetically pleasing and you can conveniently add photos and links. Lastly, the fact that we had to include a section at the end of every post devoted to the activities that we had done thoughout the week pushed me to dedicate a bit more time to the subject on a regular basis, which benefitted me in the long run without a doubt.
I reckon that I do not have any advice to give in order to improve! Everything seems all right to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It is crucial to train your brain and improve your writing, and writing blog posts is one of the best ways to do so!

Since I have started a more in-depth preparation for my final exams, the activities that I have done this week to improve my English have been searching the web for exercises similar to the ones found in the mock exam and doing them. Also, I feel that revising for other subjects improve my overall level since I encounter more specific vocabulary, and comprehension can be quite tricky sometimes. This term certainly requires a more meticulous method of study but I know that it is all to make professionals out of us students. Well, I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, and I hope to write again soon! Wish me luck on my upcoming exams!! And Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎄

Week 16: Language

Imagen
Hey there! I'm back! Did you miss me? I know I did! In today's blog post I'm going to be talking about languages. Did you know that there are many maps available on the Internet that conveniently showcase which languages are spoken throughout the globe? Here is one of them so that you can get a closer look: To be honest, I am a bit of a language enthusiast myself. Apart from English and Spanish, I have quite a good base of Italian thanks to university, and a very rusty German from my high school days. However, a language that I have been dying to explore and the only one left on my "must learn" list is French. It has been a goal of mine since getting acquainted with French cinema, and especially after watching one of my favourite movies of all time,  Blue is the warmest colour  in the original version. Listening to the stunning French actresses' exquisite pronunciation made me want to be able to speak French too. I also love Brigitte Bardot's ...

Week 17: In my view

Trending topics are constantly discussed all over the news, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms. The average member of any social media is bombarded with a plethora of opinions on a daily basis. I usually keep quiet most of the time, choosing to be left out of the discussion. Nevertheless, today I would like to state my opinion on a trending topic I found on The Today Show's website. It states that a Trulia survey found that now, more married couples have roommates. This is due to the fact that they have to deal with increasing real estate pricing. Data-wise, the rate of married couples living with a roommate has doubled since 1995, both for homeowners and renters. It seems to me that reversing the rise in housing costs is a bit out of our reach. It is a matter of economy that most of us have to combat by adapting ourselves to reality. In my opinion, taking on a roommate is not the worst idea ever. I feel that financial strain is one of the worst things a couple can go throu...

Week 18: Who We Are

Hey guys!  In today's post I'm going to focus on body idioms and inversions. Since I loved the body idioms that we've discovered in class this week so much, I scoured the web for 5 more expressions. to stand or stick out like a sore thumb : someone or something is being obvious, noticeable or easily recognized as different from the group. to do something in a heartbeat : to do something right away if you have the chance. to catch somebody's eye : to attract someone's attention or be attractive enough to be noticed. to the bone : as completely as possible. In Spanish it would be something like 'hasta los huesos'. have two left feet : to be awkward or clumsy with one's feet. The marvelous website I found all of these idioms on is  https://sharmskee.com/funny-body-parts-idioms-list/ . It has fifty body idioms! Plus, all of them are so interesting. I love it! More web-browsing ahead!  Next, I looked at some websites where inversions are ...
