As usual, I leave you with a sample entry,


















This is the photo I chose that I really like. If you ask me I really do not know who took it, it probably was taken from a professional photographer, since it is a promotional image for the Japanese trio “Shonen Knife”. The photo basically shows the band image, which consisted of Naoko Yamano (vocalist, centre), Atsuko Yamano (Drummer, left) and Michie Nakatani (bassist, right) I do not know when the photo was taken, but, by judging the band appearance, it seems to be it was taken sometime around 1990.

 I really like this photo as I already told you, because this band is a blast, a really cool rock and roll band. It derives from the punk movement in the US, particularly, from the “Ramones”. By the way, these three women from Osaka used to be called the “Osaka Ramones”. Their fame came to the western world basically because it was one of Kurt Cobain’s (Nirvana’s singer-songwriter) favourite bands. He was the one that promoted a strong passion for this group. It is no secret that this photograph represents the essence of Shonen Knife, three strong-willed women that like to rock and roll on their own terms.

Cheers.


What about you?

English 3, Post 4, 'A Meal or Food you really like'

  Warm Salutations, Earthlings from INAP! In this week, you are expected to write about,   - what is it? (describe it)   - how is it made?   - why do you like it so much?   - how does it impact your health?   - upload pictures (optional)  > word count: 140 words    > don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.   As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,   It is rather difficult for me to describe a specific meal or piece of food that I really like since I love all types and flavours. I would say that this activity does not make a single ounce of justice to all my taste spectrum. Ok, there you have it, only this time I would say that I really like a delicious avocado and tuna sandwich. There you are! There is no much else to tell you about such a simple and neat design of a meal. It is only a touch of avocado and tuna fish between two slices

   Warm Salutations, Earthlings from INAP In this week, you are expected to write about,   - your dream jobs when you were a child   - other study programs options that you had at the moment of applying to university   - what made you decide on this major?   - your experience at the university until now      > word count:  130 words    >  don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.     As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,   Since I was a  child,  I did not think about getting a job or dreaming –daydreaming, perhaps- about getting a job. I did not contemplate the idea of an ideal job because it simply did not exist in my childish world. I was really into video games, soccer, and cycling. Now, that I think of it, I never imagined myself making money out of playing video games or playing soccer. I thought they were only hobbies to spend my

English 3, Post 8 (FINAL), 'Tell us about a subject you enjoy studying'

Good n' Old Earthlings from INAP! This is our FINAL blog post (entry). For the last time, you are cordially invited to write about a subject you enjoyed studying (University or High School) Include this information: ·         What is the subject? Describe it. ·         Why do you enjoy it? ·         What have you learned? ·         What did you think about it before you studied it? Upload pictures Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post Word Count: 170 words For the last time, I will leave you with a written sample, " The name of my favourite subject when at University was “Literature III: Seminar on Shakespeare”. It is of no mystery that the subject revolved around the playwright, poet and sometimes actor, William Shakespeare. We basically studied the phenomenon of his works under a critical-historical approach, that is to say, not only working with first-hand material but also dealing with critical texts and essays.
