General Conclusion

This blog was a little difficult to do because the menu was very difficult to do. By other way, in this subject, I learned a lot because I was paying attention at every class that the teacher was teaching. I knew how to use punctuation in my paragraphs but not at all, so in this subject I learned more about that and how to organize a paragraph, and all that kind of things that you need to know about how to write.

Reflection

This description was very difficult to do because it has a lot of information and we have to order it very well because the house had too many things, so I don't like this work.

Oktapodi Story

One day, there were two octopus in a fishbowl, one male and one female, they were in love and suddenly a man appeared and took the female octopus away and weigh her because he wanted to eat it. The man put the female octopus into a cooler and drive his car away. The angry male octopus started to follow the car and fought with the man, then the female octopus were out of the cooler and they two run away escaping.

At the end of the story, the octopuses were in a string that was between two houses. They were alleviate because the man with the car fell down into the water, but suddenly, a seagull appeared and took the male octopus with the feet and flew away with him. The pink octopus or the female octopus was angry because the male saved her, so she streched the string and flew to the seagull, crushed it and save the male octopus. Then, they got into the sea and started a happy new life.


Reflection

This paragraph was a little difficult because I have to watch the video at least three times and there were words that I didn't know how to write in english but I searched for them and the process of writing was easy after that.

Iquique, Land of Champions

My favorite place to stay, is not a small and especific one, it is a big one and is my beautiful city Iquique, Land of Champions. I love so much this place because if you compare Iquique with another city, in Iquique you can relax at the time that you want, you don't have here "traffic sounds", a lot of accidents (fortunately) and all that noisy things that you have for example, in the capital, Santiago. In Iquique you can have a nap before you have lunch and have to go to work again without problems, but if you live in another city, like Santiago, again, you even can't go to your house to have a comfortable lunch with your family, because the distances of one place to another are too long, in Iquique you can do that, and also you can sleep very well to recompose yourself.

Reflection

Write about a favorite place for me, was so easy to do, because I wrote about my beautiful city Iquique, and I think that I know everything about this city so, it was very easy.

My Beautiful Mother

My mother is in her early forties, she is short and plump, she has brown oval eyes, she has shoulder length, wavy, brown hair and she has light skin. In terms of her personality, she is very organized, especially in her work because she is a secretary. In my house, she is always cleaning and putting in order everything. She is extremely dedicated in everything that she does, sometimes is too funny and sometimes she is very agressive with words because she has a bad temper. My mother is extremely generous and also very honest and an independent woman and I love her so much and I'm very proud of she.

Reflection

This paragraph was very easy to do because I wrote about my mother, I know everything about her and I love her so much, so that's why it was easy to write.

Essay and reflection

I’m an early bird; I like to do things in the morning because I’m light of mind when I get up. In the mornings I have breakfast, take a shower, do the housework, study, go out, eat a lot, and other many things. When I do these things I feel fresh and fine, but if I do these kinds of things at night I feel more tired and in the mornings I feel more productive and active. In the mornings I also go to the university, after that I go to my house and prepare the lunch for my family because my mother and father work and my mom does not have enough time for cook, although I like cooking. Sometimes I have to go for my sister to her school, Academia Iquique of Bajo Molle, then I take her to my house and I give the lunch that I prepared for her. In the weekend’s morning I usually sleep a lot and relax, then I make my bed and put in order my bedroom, after that I watch TV a while and then I do my homework or study while I listen to music. I usually listen to Coldplay, The Script or Ed Sheeran to do my homework because it is a quiet kind of music.

Reflection

The essay was very easy to do because the teacher checked what I wrote and change the words or sentences that were wrong, so when I rewrite my essay I corrected all the mistakes that I have in my task. I enjoy doing this kind of writings by a process because I think that when you finalize the proces, the text that you write is completely correct and with no mistakes.

Narrative work, draft and reflection

I'm an early bird, I like to do things in the morning because I'm light of mind when I get up. In the mornings I have breakfast, I take a shower, I do the housework, I study, I go out, I eat a lot and another many things. When I do these things I feel fresh, fine, because if I do these king of things at night I feel more tired and in the mornings I feel more productive and active.

In the mornings I also go to the university, after that I go to my house and I prepare the lunch for my family because my mother and father work and my mom does not have enough time for cook so I cook for her and I like cooking. Sometimes I have to go to my sister's school, Academia Iquique, to go for her, then I take her to the house and I give the lunch that I prepared to her. In the weekend's morning I usually sleep a lot and relax, then I do my bed and put in order my bedroom, then I watch TV a while and after that I do my homework or study listening to music. I usually listen to Coldplay, The Script or Ed Sheeran to do my homework because it is a quiet kind of music.

Reflection

The narrative work I think that it was a little difficult to do because at first, I did not know how to organize the sentences or what words I have to use, I knew that there were many mistakes but in the grammatical order I think I did not fail too much.

Prewriting

Morning, wake up, fresh of mind, breakfast, shower, housework, study, go out, eat, food, a lot, feel fine, productive, active, at night I feel tired, university, lunch, cook, go for my sister, Marthina, Academia Iquique, weekend, relax, bed, order, bedroom, tv, watch, listen, music, David Guetta, The Script, Ed Sheeran, Electronic music, love music, Coldplay.

Reflection

The prewriting was easy to do because it is just to write all the words or ideas that come to your mind, you do not have to use grammatical order or things like that, so it was very easy for me to do.
