MY FAVORITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

 First, I have to say that I'm not a big fan of technology. I respect it and use it, but I'm not keen on it. In fact, it tends to make me nervous. Actually, I don't feel very comfortable using any mechanical things--I'm usually nervous that I'll "do it wrong" or break it...

Second, a lot of different technology has an important role in my life: the computer, smartphone, refrigerator, washing machine, elevators...electricity... Some I could live without, others, such as the refrigerator or electric light are essential to me.
If I had to choose one piece of technology, I'd choose the Kindle. This is an e-reader. I can buy and download books onto it, and read them anywhere. It's very convenient. The screen, or the light it produces, makes it seem very natural, like a book, and the whole experience is similar to reading a book--though not exactly the same. Looking at illustrations or flipping between pages is easier in a book. A big benefit of the Kindle is that I don't need more physical space for books. I don't have more room for books at home! I'm full. So, the Kindle is a great contemporary way to read a book anywhere you want without the weight or space that a book produces or needs. I can really recommend the Kindle, too.

    I remember that when i was 14 years old, i met a new world on youtube: booktube. Since that moment i started to collect books and till now i like do it. I love the differents covers, the colors, the smell of books, so much things, but yes, it's true, spaces are few and we can reduce the use of paper by reading through kindle, and consequently, lower the impact of tree felling. I'm actually on a dilemma.

    I find it great and eco-friendly because it reduces the use of sheets in prints.

    I’ve never heard of the Kindle before, I thinks it’s great that the screen makes it easier to read.

    The view should hurt less than when reading on a computer, cell phone, etc. Looks great.

BLOGPOST 7: SOMEONE I ADMIRE IN MY FIELD

Imagen
  I am going to write about a linguist specialized in Language Acquisition--ESL: Stephen Krashen. He is a professor of Linguistics who has taught at Linguistics and Education departments in the US. He received his PhD in 1972, and has been prolifically active in Linguistics Language Acquistion since then having published over 400 articles. I admire him mostly for certain theories that he has focused on, maybe even invented or created: The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis: This looks at and contrasts acquisition (how babies learn language) and learning (how students in a class learn language). It has supported the idea that classrooms should include as much "acquisition-like" activity as possible to make the language process as close to acquistion as possible. The Input Hypothesis: This says that language cannot be produced (people speaking) without sufficient input. Learners need to listen and hear things; they need a person (model or teacher) to give them input so that they c...

BLOG POST 4: A MEAL I REALLY LIKE

Imagen
 I like a lot of different foods and meals--I suppose I am a kind of gourmet who enjoys food. The only food I really don't like at all is celery. Therefore, it's hard for me to decide... I am going to choose lentils. I really like lentils a lot. I find them very versatile. I eat a lot of lentil stew--every week in fact. I always eat a lentil dish--usually lentil stew on Mondays. I know it's very "square" to cook like this--always the same thing on Mondays, but it's easier for planning, so I don't have to think about it so much. In fact I'm making it as I write this, right now. I'm multi tasking--preparing the class and cooking. It's modern life. My typical lentil stew contains lentils, some rice (not much), squash,onions, garlic, red and green peppers, and tomatoes. I really love this mix. Sometimes I add chard or spinach or kale--something leafy and green.  I enjoy eating my stew condimented with oregano and cumin, and some hot sauce. Sometime...

BLOG POST 6: HOW CAN MY MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD BETTER

Imagen
 "One person at a time"--this is a phrase that looks at making the world a better place. We all know that the world could be better, could be a nicer place, could be a place where people are happier and more fulfilled. There are many ways to achieve this effect: We could study Dentistry, Psychology, Anthropology, or Engineering, and we could be contributing to this improvement. I am an EFL teacher--not just English but rather English-as-a-foreign-language teacher. My major (what I studied) and by extension my work helps people by its very nature, so it's easy for me to say that I'm helping. By helping you--my students--learn English, I am contributing to your reaching your goals in life. If you reach your goals in life, there is a great chance that your life will be better, will be as you want it to be. Maybe learning English is just one little piece of it, but it is. I am also helping you communicate with other people from far away. If you can communicate with these ...
