Hemos visto diferencias entre los pasados, indefinido e imperfecto, en la lección de hoy. El imperfecto es el PRESENTE del pasado. Nos lleva allí cuando la acción no ha terminado. El indefinido se sitúa DESPUÉS no dentro y entonces ha terminado la acción. Creo que has entendido perfectamente la diferencia, un poco más de práctica sobre esto nos puede venir muy bien para acabar de afianzar el contenido.

    Le matin terrible Une petite historie pour m’aider à pratique des nouveaux mots de vocabulaire : « Ça n’est pas arrivé auparavant ! » je me suis dit. « Je le sais bien, le autobus arrive chaque jour en même temps. » A l’instant, j’ai vu un ingénieur d’autobus. « Pardon, Monsieur, » je lui ai dit, « savez-vous à quelle heure arrive l’autobus ? » « Je suis vraiment désole, » il m’a répondu, « Je ne sais pas. » « Oh Eduard, mon ami, ça va ? Ah bon, merci quand même. » « Ça ira…j’ai une idée ! A la place du bus, je te roule ? » « Vraiment, ah bon. C’est parti ! Oui plutôt, il vaut mieux. Merci, Mec. Je te revaudrai ça ! » « Pas de problème » Plus tard Eduard m’a appelé au téléphone. « Bonjour Marc, te réveilles ? » Il m’a dit. « Ouais. » « Parfait. Je peux te demande un service. D’Abord, je veux inviter à voyage avec moi chaque matin ! Allo, allo ! Tu as raccroché ? Tu es toujours là ? » « Désolée, je suis tellement maladroit. Je lasse mon téléphone tombe. Ce serait parfait ! Alors, je dois me coucher. » « Parfait, a demain »

    Mini-historia 1 para practicar nuevo vocabulario: Las mañanas de Marta Para Marta, los susurros de la mañana se ven genial para sus oídos. Los sonidos de los pájaros y el viento le han dicho a ella algo sincero: la primavera está aquí. Le digan sobe un futuro lo que es bien parecido.

    “Mamá, buenos días. Hoy el primer día de la primavera.” Le dice Marta “Yo se es un día muy especial.”

    “¿De que hablas Marta?¿Como así?” Su mamá contestó.

    “La primavera da las Flores, mucho tiempo de sol, y oportunidades de jugar con mis amigos.”

    “Si, Marta. Después de todo, tienes razón. A mi, no me gusta la primavera - si, lo dije.”

    “¿Porque mamá?” Marta preguntó

    “Porque hay muchos días de lluvia, hija.”

    “Si, pero que alivio. Porque después hay flores y muchos lugares verdes.”

    “Si hija. Que buenas aventuras que vienen.”

    Le temps à Chicago dans l’hiver. Il fait très froide ici, à Chicago. Dans le matin, le temps est lourd, le soleil est crashé, et il y a des gelées et le sol est mouillé. Les gens portent de nombreuses couches. La journée, le temps est magnifique, le soleil brille et se reflète sur la neige étincelante – es comme quelque chose d’une carte postale. La nuit, il fait très froide de nouveau et c’est facile de dormir sous une couverture chaude.

    meine deutsche inspiration Ich habe viele Grunde, warum ich will deutsche lernen und eine ist eine deutsche Pop-Rock Gruppe Wir sind Helden. Ich hatte dieser Gruppe im Jahr 2004 eindeckt mit das erste Album „Die Reklamation". Das erste Mal ich hörte das Leid, Außer dir, ich war verleibt! Ich hörte es immer und immer weiter, aber ich habe nicht die Worte verstehen. Das war das erste Mal, das ich wollte Deutsch lernen. Ich suchte die Texte im Internet und Ich arbeitete zu übersetzen und zu verstehen die Worte. Bis heute ist es meine erste deutsche inspiration.

    From an Exhibition with a Little Disappointment:

    I visited an art exhibition here in Hamburg yesterday. Its titled, was “From Poussin to Monet: the Colors of France”. Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) was one of the leading French painters in the 17th century during the period of baroque period and Claude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the founders of French Impressionism, which is one of the most important painting periods for nowadays our contemporary understanding of design and of visual illustrations. Between these two painters there were was a timeframe of three very eventful centuries including Louis XIV, the French Revolution, and Napoleon. Therefore “The Colors of France” means not only signifies the influence of French art inside on the European artistic society, but it also means the of those highlights its contemporary political and cultural upheavals' influence toward on French art. 


    To realize that social changes and artistic evolutions in arts are two separate sides of a coin that is one of the reasons why I am very in fond of arts. Every time I encounter it, it is I am excited to find out how a painter or an artistic period was affected by things that the events happened that occured in their time or to find discover out in which the ways in which both were influenced by their time. The goal of this exhibition I visited was the same: to show to demonstrate how the inseparablility of arts and society tied up together. So far, so good! However, I feel that this goal was much too big for a single exhibition with some 200 paintings. There were countless very important painters and a couple of huge painting periods (with a complicated puzzle of sub-periods!)  that occured during this long time and which were forgotten! So it would seem that this exhibition could can only be a small spotlight, maybe a kind of an or introduction for to a series of many other exhibitions which will follow the same main theme.; however, But none other similar to date there is no such exhibition will to follow after this one. What a pity…

    Writing Simply is Not Easy

    Yesterday I learned about what is an awkward sentences and how important is to avoiding writing them it. Basically, it means we should be simple, clear and concise when we expressing our ideas. We might ask ourselves the right following questions: Using should I use the passive voice? only it is absolutely necessary. or is it your my writing wordy? Remember what Le Courbusier said:, "less is more". 
    Okay, the concept is clear and it seems obvious.; however, it is a somewhat difficult to apply, specially especially for native Spanish people speakers. I think there is a cultural pattern to explain this difference of behaviour between both English and Spanish people speakers. Unlike the first ones native English speakers, we Spanish speakers love using the subjunctive tense and writing in a more Baroque style and we often think that the byusing more most more adjectives and adverbs our texts has the will be richer is it. Besides Additionally, we often are afraid to shorten our text because it would seem a to lack of the necessary amount of vocabulary or ideas to express (and we panic to at the almost blank sheet).
    In this case, I absolutely agree with the English view. They are right. It  is worths being simply concise and accurate when we write. It is not the same than as being poor. Only if when we are able to explain something in a simple way we will we be certainly clearly understood by those who read us our text.
    Finally, I hope I had have not written any an awkward sentence, but you Know, an awark sentence is often something that has "gotten away" from your control.

     

    -Note: The form of English you are using (American or British) will dictate certain gramtical constructions. For instance in British English you would place the punctuation outside of the quotation marks instead of inside the quotation marks as in American English.
