English 3, Post 7, 'Choice of Two Topics (Choose one of the two)'

Dear Earthlings from INAP!

As the title so eloquently suggests, this time there is a choice that you will have to make, either 'a career-oriented website', or 'an expert person in your field of study'. 

Topic A: Tell us about a career-oriented website you enjoy visiting. 

Include this information:

·        Describe the website and provide the link.

·        How often do you visit it?

·        Explain why you like the site.

·        Who would you recommend it to?

Upload pictures (optional)


Topic B: Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire. 

Include this information:

·        Why do you admire this person?

·        What has this person done/contributed?

·        Provide a short biography of this person

       Upload pictures (optional)

Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post

"This time it is not necessarily a career-oriented web site but a YouTube channel (which is in fact, a website for videos) and it is called ‘Wisecrack’. Particularly interesting material for this channel and that gives it all its funny flavour while learning is a funny man and this is ‘Thug Notes: Classic Literature, Original Gangster’, a black dude who provides a thorough analysis to every single literature classic masterpiece.

It is actually hilarious to see a book review/analysis is done with such professional treatment, though, under an extremely colloquial tone. It is as if someone exploits a 'seemingly uneducated' stereotype and puts it in an academic field. It is counter-intuitive, at first, to see how a fully-fledged expert provides such an insightful analysis in such an unusual fashion.

Since my major actually is on English Literature, it was a huge pleasure to see, for example, how ‘1984’ is deconstructed under a point of view that takes a dystopian character, at first sight, a human tragedy, and turns it into a hilarious review. I highly recommend this channel for you to have a good laugh". 

What about you?

Cheers.

    1984 is a masterpiece, but when I compare it to a happy world I think it becomes majestic, both visions are very interesting. Hopefully I can make a comparison video one day!

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.
