INTRODUCCION

La finalidad de este blogg por la que el Lic. Juan Enrique Cabrales es para poder tener una manera mas divertida de practicar el Idioma Ingles especialmente aprender a expresarnos correctamente y claro se cometieron muchos errores pero de ellos pude aprender muchas cosas que me serviran y me ayudaron a ver las cosas desde otro punto de vista.
Debo confesar que al principio se me dificulto mucho porque no soy muy buena para expresarme plasmandolo o escribiendo pero esa es una de las cosas en las que creo que me he beneficiado con esta actividad que si bien aun no es tan sencilla he podido practicar lo mucho o poco del conocimeinto adquirido.
Es una manera diferente de aprender y yo creo que ese es el problema para nosotros que muchas veces le tenemos miedo a lo desconocido sin saber que puede ser algo divertido, ilustrativo y con un impacto favorable para todos nosostros.
Creo que tengo muchas cosas que mejorar y hacer en este aspecto del idioma tengo que esforzarme mas para hacerlo con mayor eficacia .
Se que la practica sera mi mejor aliada y pues seguir intentando nunca darse por vencido es la clave del exito en todo.

My family is the most important have.I I can feel my parents because I have instilled values that today I can put into practice in my personal life and I think now I have been a good representative of it. It is very gratifying to hear positive comments from my values more today where they have lost many values, there arise many problems in our society, but is in our hands to make the necessary arrangements for the situation we face today in the absence Securities can recover.I love my family that thanks to them I am what I am now consider myself a good person who likes to help when needed, plus I've had many happy moments that do not exchange for anything.

English speaking countries/correction

There are many English speaking countries in the world.Some are very large but others are small.The largest English speaking countries are Canada, the U.S. and Australia.
The largest area where English is spoken is Canada.It has 3,850,000 square miles, and the smallest area is Nauru. It is a very small island not far from Australia.It has an area of 8 square miles.I have many friends in Canada, but they also speak French.
Not all Canadiands speak English.French is spoken in Quebec.
Some people say that French is as easy as English, although other people believe that English pronunciation is difficult, but English grammar is easier than French grammar.
Many countries have English as their official language, about 25, but many people in other countries study English as a second language.
But what is the reason because English is an important language?Because English is very useful busines,industry and international relations.

My personal opinion about this activity it was good because the goal is improve writing and I like this opportunity for learn more and I try of I have less skills.

THE PHOENICIAN ALPHABET

What has happened to men since they discovered fire, since they learned to grow food and raise animals, since they invented the wheel?They have studied the movement of the stars, and some of them have become good mathematicians.Some others have become carpenters,sculptors,architects and musicians.And then something happened.Some kings and priests wanted to record important events.They also wanted to communicate their ideas to people in other countries and other times.
Many writing systems were invented, but the most advanced system was Phoenician writing because it had a simple phonetic alphabet.

The discovery of a new continent


After the invention of Gutenberg´s printing system, history has been full of great discoveries and inventions.The most important discovery was that of the New World, the discovery of a new continent.

Gutenberg was still printing his books in Germany when a great man was born in Genoa,Italy. His name was Christopher Columbus.What was Columbus like? They say he had a long face,red hair, blue eyes and an aquiline nose. He was a very intelligent man. He studied geography and cosmography. He believed that the earth was round and he thought it was possible to reach India, China and Japan in the Far East by sailing west. He planned the journey to those rich lands.

Isabella, Queen of Castile, and her husband Ferdinand, King of Aragon gave him the money to make his journey to the Far East. On August 3rd,1492 Columbus, with his fleet of three small ships, the "Santa Maria", the "Niña" and the "Pinta", left the port of Palos, Spain and sailed to the Canary Islands.

MY WEEKEND


Hello this day I like to talk about my weekend pass me the truth too busy happily because I do not like to spend the wrong time. As far back from school I was commissioned to do the job quite well that we seek to organize in such a way that could make all the respective activities as do my exercises, go to the pantry, cleaning my house, talking with good friends, go to the church, and so on.

It was fun talking with my friends because I fell asleep talking to each other in the morning I woke up neither of the 2 live in Tampico but this is a clear example of that true friends will always be close even though they may not be physically they are always next to me. Too much enjoyment in the company of my family because we are many and that's what I like most is that big, this truth was a weekend of those who should be repeated more often.

MUSEUMS


POP ART AND CUBISM

Two of major painting styles represented in many art museums are pop art, cubism.
Though very different from one another, these two styles represent some of the major achievements in Britan in parallel with U.S.A and France from the 20th century up to the present time.

Pop Art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of Fine Art since Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for contemplation. The concept of Pop Art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it. Much of Pop Art is considered incongruent, as the conceptual practices that are often used make it difficult for some to readily comprehend.

Cubism was a 20th century avant-gard art movement , pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity.
My personal opinion is that each style is unique, they are also related.

In Tampico city only we have two museums but its of the culture huasteca I had the opportunity of went in the last vacation with my parents and is very interesting because you can learn more about our ancestors and yours traditions.

T.V


I think I would be better off without TV


1. In the past I tryed to be without t.v. and I think I felt better without it, because my days were really busy and it was impossible to watch t.v.

2. Actually in this moment is very difficult for me to watch t.v. because I have things to do.

3. Another reason to not watch t.v. for me is because this is a big distract and sometimes I spent all my time watching t .v. programs.

4. I think that t.v. is not a priority for me.

5. Today there are not many good programs to see the majority does not help you learn something worthwhile and feel it is time lost.


I might be worse off.

1. T.V. it is important because you need to watch news and documentaries programs.

2. I think it is necessary to know the t.v most important developments that are happening in the world.

3. I think television is a resource that if used properly helps us learn many things that we do not have in our reach for one reason or another, whether sports or entertainment events that perhaps in our country are not common.

4. Also, if we had no TV may not know that this happening in the world and how that affects us all as now with the crisis of U.S.A.

5. I think it's important to express the t.v as a society and in the same way to instruct others to find solutions to problems through this medium we know.

Now with the rainy weather and so many problems, the shortage of water and food since many crops have been lost due to various factors, heat, cold, too much rain, and so on.
Would be good to think as a family or as individuals in the realization of a store with the groceries non-perishable that do not require refrigearacion since in many occasions are cut lines of light and gas for safety.
And really not ignore this advice because they help us in the times that are ahead because they are contrary to improve encrudecera each day more.
Those of us fortunate to have a home, family, food, do not misuse it's not the waste water nor food tmapoco because there are millions around the world die every minute due to lack of these needs to live.

People who speak English come from many different countries and regions,and they have all kinds of different accents.It may be hard to understand them at first, but after a little while it gets easier.You may have to ask them to speak more slowly at first.Oh, by the way,you know that I am from Mexico and I am studying English.
The last semester went for improve my pronunciation and learn more of other culture.
The first time was very dificult for my understand because the people spoke faster and sometimes I feeling badly.

PARALYMPIC GAMES


Hey this week I would like to share something about sports although a bit late but it will be nice to remembered by the whole story in sports. Of course I will refer to Mexican athletes in Paralympic Games in the past where we did a much better role and where we have always brought medals. It's amazing what these athletes perform at least to my ability to surprise is surprising because it has the courage, to pursue their dreams to make it clear we never really thought leaving their targets to a final victory because his goal from the beginning was so reach the final and also get to win.

FEEL COMFORTABLE.


For me the most important thing is to feel comfortable, but without falling into the ridiculous. I think this does not feel comfortable being fought with the fashion and especially clean. Sometimes we confuse what comfortable with what they often fall into the careless.
Many people associate the clothing with comfortable pants, large shirts, tennis, sandals, etc. And somehow it is all but once commonly dress in this way occasions that we need more formal dress so we feel uncomfortable because we are not accustomed to this.
Finally everyone takes the decision dress style that it suits you and feel comfortable, since what I can be comfortable to another is not so is the choice of each.

RETURN TO CLASSES


Hello everybody!

Such a return to classes? I quite happy to be back in school and have the opportunity to see again my friends.

Ím feel stranger because I really unusual to school,work in teams,teachers,etc.

But now there are good that enjoy everything.

The time is flying and something I've learned is that we must be ready so that when we presented good opportunities not be afraid to reject them.

I hope that this semester everyone can make more friends and enjoy the school.
