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 19: Descriptive essays

Imagen
Regarding the differences between descriptive, narrative and discursive essays, I have indeed searched the web to find the key. However, since blogger does not have the option to insert a chart, I have found some really great ones online that include the essential information. I will insert them below: Next, I found a brief sample of a descriptive essay. Instead of copying and pasting it, since its far too long, find the link below: https://academichelp.net/samples/academics/essays/descriptive/my-room-descriptive-essay.html As one can see, its main characteristics are vivid imagery, sensory adjectives describing a plethora of smells, sights, sounds, feelings etc. and meticulously placed details that enable a clear depiction of the subject of the essay, in this case, a bedroom. The language is concise and straightforward but still descriptive so that the impression given to the reader is like a photograph or picture in their head. There is nothing abstract mentioned, but rath...

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 24: Natural Wonders

Oh, how wonderful the world is! I would just love to discover for myself all of the natural wonders that it has to offer! However, as my travel money is quite short as of this year, I will have to make do with searching for descriptive texts of well-known places online (that I will hopefully get to see with my own eyes in the future). Here is a descriptive text about the Grand Canyon, retrieved from:  http://enjeloverything.blogspot.com/2010/06/grand-canyon-canyon-is-exceptionally.html I will underline and bold the expressions the expressions used to describe it. Next, I am going to add a few sentences of my own that could improve the text: The crimson orange and yellow colours swirl on the irreguar, immense walls of rock. The Grand canyon stretches a whopping 443 kilometres long and can encompass up to 29 kilometres of width. The flora and fauna found in this unpopulated sight vary from evergreens and desert plants, as well as rabbits, snakes, and even a couple of lone c...
