Last blog entry - Blog Post number 10



                               
                                               To introduce this topic about a reflective blog about my previous blog, I would like to say that was fun to make these blogs after all, those blogs really helped me to write better. My best piece of doing a blog was about nuclear weapons, firstly, because it was really interesting to search for information about it, secondly, I was so motivated to search for it before the homework itself, finally, that topic in general is also one of my biggest fears in the world apart from the spiders. I know that doing blogs as much homework was very tedious sometimes, but I found a lot of new conjunctions to use between sentences and I understood the fact of doing a good blog, this will be useful for any kind of project I could do in the future. In addition I would like to write about my writing classes, it was totally entertainment. I don’t know why, but in those classes I had more chances to practice my speech in a normal situation than the other classes, anyway, I like didactic classes, I learn a lot by that and I thing that writing classes was very relaxing to do tasks. I liked that moment when we discovered that internet program called lyrics training (I really don’t know how is the name of that site), I enjoyed a lot. Also I would like to introduce another kind of writing tasks like write certain kinds of histories like horror, drama, romance, etc. To complete, I would like to do a blog about our hobbies,  I really need to know about my classmates, I feel like I don’t know them to well. This semester in writing was really entertaining and those blogs helped me a lot about writing paragraphs and I’m waiting to see more teachings next semester.

                        Can anyone be an english teacher? NO, because to be a good english teacher you have to dominate your emotions and acts in different manners, so you have to study and recognize every question that the student could ask to you. Anyway, to be a good teacher you have to learn a lot of skills that you will need in the future.

                         Firstly, a good teacher needs to be energic in front of the class.

Blog No 7/8 - School v/s University life

                               
                               My first year in high school was totally simple compared to the first year of university. University is harder than high school.

                               The learning enviroment of a university changed with many things in comparison with highschool. Firstly, the quantity of learning you have to receive its extremely more than high school. Secondly, the books turns very difficult to understand. Thirdly, you use every moment in the day to study, so you need to have time to study. Also, the distance between your house and the university, commonly you have to travel a lot. And finally, the influence of study you receive in the university is always great. So the way you learn in the university is much better and different from high school and that makes it harder.

                               I also had different social enviroments which contrast a lot between university and high school, university have a lot of energy in it enviroment. Parties increase a lot when you are on a university, people will invite you to hang out everyday. Furthermore, there is a lot of places to study inside of the university, so your studies are not lonely, you can ask your callsmates to study with you. Equally important, teachers and students almost always have a good relationship, so you will learn a lot from them. Besides, people of others  colleges can help you with your homeworks. So, university is much more active than high school.

                              The structure of the building in the university it`s better done than highschool. Including the main difference between bathrooms, there is a big difference between university and highschool, in university you have all you will need in the bathroom, including soap. In addition, sports fields are bigger and much more expensive than high school sports fields. Also libraries have a lot of books in the university, you cant find most of the important books  in a university library. Also medical equipment is well prepared, if you have a health problem, meybe you should be treated by a medic or nurse. And finally, the architecture of the buildings are much more advanced and have the a well structured yard apart from the main buildings, in consequence, to study in a university building makes the study easiest than high school.

                                   So because of all of that my first year in university was harder for me, you learn that in the university you have to study a lot to pass. Moreover, university makes study less difficult in its enviroment.
