Guadalupe's Rose Vidiomas

I think it was very violent in different ways but it had a good ending. It was not the most appropriate topic for a school project but anyway it was well done.

The Greatest Movie Ever Vidiomas

I don't think the message is appropiate at all! Where is the value or the point of this video? There were very good effects but most of the movie they were high. Not the best choice for a school project.

Friends or Love Vidiomas

From my point of view I think that the audio was not very clear, besides having subtitles would've helped a lot. The idea was creative but they were not well organized.

Pros and Cons of Cellphones

The pluses of my topic are:
The minuses of my topic are:
·        Mainly it is very important to have your cellphone with you always because there might be an emergency.
·        Secondly, we really need it to communicate with our family and friends.
·        Most people have developed some kind of dependence on technology.
·        To conclude people will always be more comfortable with their cellphone in hand because they can get news from all over the world.
·        Despite its being really helpful people are all the time on their cellphones instead of coexisting with people that surround them.
·        Basically the majority of people NEED their cellphone and feel incomplete without it.
·        From my point of view lots of fake news is communicated by social networks.
·        In conclusion cellphones have made humans completely dependable on a piece of technology.

Quote

"Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's over much too soon." -Woody Allen (1935)

I think Woody Allen said that because he was very sad about a situation in his life. It means that life isn't actually perfect and there will always be problems. Life is pretty short and we have to make the most of it. Even though we have problems, we always have to try and solve them, take a lesson and move on.

Units 1-3

Unit 1:
In this unit we learned how to change a sentence from active to passive voice, it is pretty easy. First you have to find the object of the verb, once you've found it you need to make that object the subject of your new sentence. Next you have to decide in which tense will be verb be. At the end you have to decide whether to include the agent in your new sentence or not.

Example:
Active-> Samantha bought the candies.
Passive->The candies were bought by Samantha.

Unit 2:
In the second unit we learned the difference between the verb tenses of: present perfect, past simple, present perfect simple, and present perfect continuous.

Present Perfect-> An action that is made in the present. You have to combine the present tence of "have" with a verb in past participle. Example: He has taken.

Past Simple-> An action that was made during the past. Example: He swam for two hours.

Present Perfect Simple-> An action that is still happening or that stopped recently, it causes and effect in the present. Example: My mom has baked a cake.

Present Perfect Continuous-> An action that is still going on and it makes an emphasis on the duration of this action. Example: I have been studying all day long.

Unit 3:
In the thrid unit we were teached about what  and which are the narrative tenses, they can be written in active and passive voice. They are used to talk about the past; normally they are used in stories that talk about past action for example a character's anecdote.

-Simple Past Tense:  I baked a cake for my sister's birthday.
-Past Continuous Tense: I studying for Math when Daniela called.
-Past Perfect Simple Tense: When I got home I saw that everything was decorated.
-Past Perfect Continuous Tense: Frank look very tired after his football game.
-Future in the Past: At that moment I knew I would have to escape from there.
