THE FASHION SHOW

COLOURS

THE MEANING OF COLOURS

http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/meaning-of-colors.html

In my opinion, this article on the meaning of the most popular colours is very interesting. It gives us the opportunity to know their optimistic and pessimistic meaning very directly, without having to waste our time reading a story of 300 words. All in all, it is worth reading.


COLOUR DOMINATING THE SCENE 

"The Starry Night" by Van Gogh  is one of my favorite paintings ever. I consider that in this specific painting colour undoubtedly dominates the scene. The sky, painted with different blue, white and yellow tonalities attract anyone´s attention by only taking a superficial look. After admiring it by a few minutes, we finally kept trapped by all the different colours which invade this painting, making clear that  there is nothing better than looking at the sky.

WHAT I HAVE DONE TO IMPROVE MY ENGLISH 

This week I have continued watching my favorite TV series and listening to American and English music all the time.

This is an advertisement from EF Educucation First, it is a website that allows study English in countries where English is spoken, It is a amazing oportunity to grow up as a person but also as a English lover. However, it is not accessible to all of us because of its cost.
Maye the cost is fair, however a lot of people cannot afford it and lost such a big opportunity like this one. From my opinion the format of this program is amazing but we need a cheaper alternative.



This week I have watched a film called Dirty Pretty Things in English and with subtitles in English too. Furthermore I have listened a lot of music in English as always.

MAKING DECISIONS

COCO

Coco, the last Disney Pixar film, is one of those films with which falling in love is nothing but easy. Since the very first moment I saw its trailer, I was captivated by its colors and by the story it tells. Miguel is a Mexican common boy who loves music, something apparently normal. However, his family, a traditional shoemaker one, hate music and will not let Miguel become a musician. Miguel would have to fight for his dreams facing many exciting adventures.
Many people could think that it is a film created exclusively for children; nothing could be further from the truth. Coco teach us many important family values that makes us meet ourselves back with our own roots in a very emotional way.
Personally talking, I consider that Coco is one of the most beautiful and teaching films that I have seen recently and I would recommend everybody to watch it almost once in their lives because I know for sure that you will not regret it.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE FILMS AND SERIES

STUDY ABROAD

Since I was a child, studying in the United States for some time has been one of my biggest dreams. These three links take us to different websites which provide us with information about studying abroad in the States. From my very personal viewpoint, I consider that studying abroad at least for a few months could be very appropriate for people studying some language; I reckon that it could be very beneficial in order to acquire fluency and also to improve our pronunciation. Learning a language in the place where it is spoken has to be undoubtedly amazing and really enriching. Moreover, if English were the chosen language, we could choose between many different places depending on our preferences were we could explore and discover new ways of living, traditions and culture, in summary, something priceless.


WHAT I HAVE DONE TO IMPROVE MY ENGLISH  

This week I have continued watching my favorite TV series and I have also seen many films such as the new Disney Pixar one, "Coco". Last but not least, I have been reading one of my favorite books, "Harry Potter".

What I have done this week to improve my English 

This week I have read a lot of articles related to racism in order to do a essay for Cultural Identity. It was reallly rewarding because apart from learning English I have learnt a lot of different cultures and lifestyles.

URBAN LIVING

Living in the New York City at the age of 50 would be a very different task, because of the hustle and bustle thing that is present in big cities like this one. New York is a very populated city and visited by a very huge amount of tourists each day. Thus, If it is peace what you’re looking for, New York is not your place. Maybe that is the main reason why people who used to live in big cities move to suburbs when they grow older. I could not imagine myself living in such a big city when I became older. From my point of view, big cities like this are for people full of energy that can handle the stress that this lifestyle provides.

In Venice you will not be bothered by car noises

In London, as it is the capitol of the UK and a very important city, it will be easy to go concerts.

In Milan, as it is the fashion city, you could be updated to fashion trends

This week I have watched a lot of chapters of my favourite TV show “Friends” in English with subtitles in English too. I have also started to read a new book in English called “Beautiful Disaster”

Urban living

URBAN LIVING- Marina Tortosa Freixinós

I couldn’t imagine my life without spending my summer holidays in La Manga. It’s a wonderful place located in the southeast coast of Spain and it belongs to the Region of Murcia.

In this amazing place you can also find an extraordinary peculiarity, because no matter what direction you look at, you are always going to see one of both seas that compose it: on one side is the Mediterranean Sea and on the other the Mar Menor.

Unfortunately, there’s no necessity to wait fifty years to see how it is changing. Due to the fact that we aren’t taking care with the nature and the environment, the beaches and the water in general is being polluted increasingly. Moreover, the melting of ice shards and the increasing of the water’s level could produce in the not too distant future that some parts of this place will be submerged.

Because all of these reasons, if we don’t start to propose solutions, we will be regretting it in few years.

Other places where I would like to live would be Honolulu, New York or Madrid.

Madrid is a good place to live because combines at the same time all kinds of culture and modernity.

On the other hand, it would be wonderful to me to life in a place like New York, because it’s a city that impresses you in all the senses and there you can find all the greatest spectacles of the world.

Finally, living in Honolulu could give me the peace or relax that we all need in some moment of our live.

These last weeks I have been improving my English listening new songs in youtube. One of my favourite ones is the version of the song "Perfect"between Ed Sheeran and Beyonce.

REPORTS AND PROPOSALS

In this specific report example we can distinguish between four different points. In the first place, we can see an introduction which is based in defining what is the main purpose of this English book. Moreover, the second point talks about the kind of English grammar it deals with. Besides,  the third  point gives us information about the wide range of vocabulary and finally and by way of conclusion, this report help us to make an useful good of the book by following some steps.  

PROPOSAL 

http://cpesamplewritings.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/proposal-onhow-to-attract-more-members.html

This proposal example provides us with information about how to attract more members to the English-language society. Firstly, we can see an introduction which informs the readers of its principal aim. Secondly, it describes what is the current situation and also what is the principal problem which has provoked the creation of a proposal. Furthermore, in the third point, some recommendations to solve the problem are provided; and last but not least we can see the conclusion, in which we can see the writer´s opinion and some other recommendations.


Reports and proposals have a very similar organization but they are not exactly the same. A report provides us with information about a certain topic while a proposal, apart from informing us, suggests  or proposes something and tries to make some helpful recommendations too.

WHAT I HAVE DONE TO IMPROVE MY ENGLISH

As every week I have studied and done my English homework. Besides, I have also continued watching "Sons of Anarchy" and last but not least, I have been listening to English and American music every single day.
