Blogs in english class?


It is a blog the best way for understand the English language? is a blog a way to learn in general? Definitely yes, because the use of the blog, in general, has been a good tool for improved the formal aspects of writing and the way of express opinions or different topics of interest.

In the case of the blog done over the course of English, the experience meant a practical use of what we learned in class. Therefore both, the formal part of teaching (the forms of grammar taught in the classroom) as the use of this unconventional way learning (its subsequent application in the blog) have made of the class an effective and interactive course. This allowed us to create the capacity of communication that provides the constant opportunity to write about subjects of our own interest, and the consequent opinions that this generate in our self plus the possibility of receive comments that promote the debate, helping us to learn some interesting tips and even to change our perspective.

For me, the use of blog in our course led me to increase the vocabulary that already had, which, was not sufficient to communicate with my words (my way of writing) what I thought. Moreover forced me to be quicker and have a more fluid use of the English.
That is why I believe that the use of the blog should be in all those courses that necessarily imply the expression, both oral and written, as a quick and effective way of learning.

Two days in Paris


A couple of days ago I saw a movie that, while is not widely known and did not stay in the cinemas for a long time, it is really good and different from the others.
It is called "two days in Paris" and is about whay happens to strange couple when they go to Paris to visit the family of one of them. In the process of meeting each of the members of the family the boyfriend of Marion (represented by actor Adam Goldberg) realizes that his girlfriend (role done by the French actris Julie Delpy) is pretty eccentric and has had a large number couples with which, unfortunately for him, usually see. At the end of the story, and after a strong discussion between the two, they deciden stay together ... But very far from Paris.

This film, despite being simple and not have many photographic effects, it is very funny and entertaining, showing how is the way of be of the Frenchs and how this tends to clash with the rest of the world, it is almost a caricature of the bizarre that the Europeans can be.
This is exactly what I most like about this movie, and, because it was made by a French woman (July Delphy), the perspective of the archetype of her race is quite true and has a place in the reality.

If you want to laugh for a while without having to think a lot, I recommend you to see "Two days in Paris," you will not regret it.
