Hi! I'm Miguel and I'm 20. I study in Oviedo (Asturias), Spain, but I was born in Córdoba, in the South of Spain. I am interested in practicing english speaking skills because I think I am a little poor in that facet. I'm nice, I love meeting people and talking about everything. I think English is one of the future languages and it's beautiful too.
¡Hola! Soy Miguel y tengo veinte años. Estudio en Oviedo (Asturias), en España, pero nací en Córdoba, al sur de España. Me interesa practicar la habilidad oral en inglés porque pienso que estoy un poco flojo en ese aspecto. Soy simpático, me encanta conocer a gente y hablar de todo. Pienso que el inglés es uno de los idiomas del futuro y también es muy bonito.

- Opinion essay (B2-C1) Note: Please, correct it according to B2-C1 level :)! The way a film is making is something to keep obviously in mind. The plot is believed to be the most important thing but as far as I’m concerned there are other things which can make a film absolutely stunning. First of all, if a film wants to be successful, the acting of the cast has to be magnificent. There is no point in paying attention to the plot if the actors and actresses aren’t capable of playing well. In addition, the actor must be professional enough to transmit the feeling to the audience. If people don’t feel connected to the cast, they won’t understand the message of the film. Secondly, a great film must include amazing special effects by taking advantage of the development of the technology nowadays, such as practical effects or digital effects. The first group features everything that the special effects supervisor can make without using a computer. On the contrary, the second group uses computer programs, which are perfectly prepared to accomplish fascinating techniques such as ‘morphing’ or computer-generated imagery (CGI). Finally, last but not least, the soundtrack is another essential piece of the puzzle. Nevertheless, many people think that music or sound effects might be repetitive or annoying. I totally disagree with that because the soundtrack helps to tell the story, or sometimes the different kinds of music predict something which is going to happen later. In conclusion, not only the plot is the main factor to make a film unforgettable and unique but the soundtrack, the special effects and the acting of the cast are equally important as well so that the film can go down in History!May 29, 201920
- A for/against essay (formal) This world-wide computer network is believed to be essential in such a modern world like ours. Either you are traditional or trendier, you should acknowledge the great importance of the Internet despite the several disadvantages we can find about it. In the one hand, the Internet is a huge tool to look for information quickly because there are plenty of online dictionaries and encyclopaedias at hand. In addition, languages different from yours can be learned such as Chinese or aboriginal languages. What’s more, if you learned one language which can be attractive or interesting for you, you would even meet the native who speaks that language! Meeting people through social networks, applying for a job by e-mail or making yourself visible (for instance, publishing your own ideas or creations in a blog) are other functions that Internet has. In the other hand, surfing the web could also be dangerous considering that your private life is exposed; Facebook, Twitter or YouTube can be a fount of wisdom if we want to share ideas or news, but the risk is real! Moreover, the Internet can make you addicted to be always in front of your laptop or mobile phone, so there is a huge probability of developing an antisocial personality. Finally, plenty of fake news are often found there, therefore we must try to find the most trustworthy sources. In conclusion, not only looking for information or meeting people are good options to use the Internet properly but applying for a job or make your creations visible are also a great way to prove your network skills. Nevertheless, the Internet can be misleading considering that people may steal your own identity or upload some fake news.May 23, 201930
- Holidays Holy Week is a festive period very expected for people, specially students, who are look forward to pausing their studies and enjoy these pleasant holidays. There are plenty of Spanish traditions that people can have fun with, for example going to town bars and enjoy the delicious ''tapas'' which are served with your drink. If you are more interested in cultural attractions, you might as well attend religious procession, as known as processional floats, where devoted people walk by the streets of the town, holding religious sculptures which represent scenes of the Passion of Jesus and his mother. In case you are an atheist, there is no problem because you can appreciate this attraction artistically. In fact, processional sculptures may impress you if you are fond of Baroque art. The thing nobody can deny is that everybody is on the street, meeting with friends or having a walk. Nevertheless, other people prefer travelling when their holiday coincide with Holy Week because there is a lot of leisure time and it’s a great opportunity to break out of the routine. Either being imbued with cultural traditions or going abroad are good choices to relax so that everyone can spend these type of holidays whatever they want.March 20, 201900
¿Cómo podemos prevenir un robo?
Poder viajar a otro país siempre es una experiencia inolvidable, sin embargo, durante el viaje, también siempre hay unas reglas de las que deberíamos ser conscientes, sobre todo, tener cuidado con las pertenencias. Para que la aventura a un país extranjera no sea desagradable, hablaré unos consejos y recomendaciones para que puedan siempre tener en cuenta cuando viajéis.
Como turistas, puede que estemos más perdidos en los centros o transportes públicos, y resulta que ponemos más atención a buscar una dirección correcta. Pero también son los lugares donde tenemos que tener más cuidado. Poned la mochila, cartera adelante, pegada a su cuerpo y los móviles o las cámaras no lo coloquéis en lugares en los que os puedan robar fácilmente. En el caso de ser robado / que os roben, recordad o apuntad los números de las autoridades para obtener ayuda lo antes lo posible. Y os recomiendo denunciar cualquier tipo de robo, incluso los casos en los que no te des cuenta en el momento del robo, para facilitar la detención en el futuro.
Lo que me pasó un robo fue en el metro de Santiago. Había bastante gente en el metro, pero aquel día estaba bastante cansada así que no puse mucha atención al alrededor; tampoco la gente que me rodeaba. En el momento que quería bajarme, me sentí que había alguien metiendo la una mano estaba metiendo en mi mochila. Me asusté, y lo único que podía hacer en aquel momento fue quitarme mi mochila (en este caso diría ''la mochila'') y salir corriendo del metro corriendo. Si me hubiera robado, habría perdido mi carnet, tarjeta de crédito y todo el efectivo que tenía. No puedo imaginar cuántos trámites necesitaría hacer para recuperarlos. Aparte de eso, perdería mucho tiempo de mi viaje. Pase lo que pase, aprendí una lección y después de esta mala experiencia siempre ando con cuidado en todos los lugares. (al usar ''en'' hablas de una forma más general, como que has estado ahí. ''Por'' indica que te recorres todo el lugar de arriba a abajo)MUY BIEN!! Tienes un nivel bastante alto, aunque te he adaptado el texto (en las formas verbales) en el español de España. Si quieres dejarlo con español de América, puedes usar los verbos que tenías originalmente. Un saludo!! :)

- Workplaces in the future (formal) In the future, many jobs will be created because the development of technology, for instance star ships production or hologram progress will require new jobs and workplaces where we can carry through with them. In the one hand, the creation of new facilities to work could be easier than in the past because we will have made tools good enough to make the workplaces durable and protected. It’s an advantage utterly useful because the workforce will be more comfortably settled in and they will be more productive if they work under these circumstances. In the other hand, workplaces are going to be quite different from the way we have know them at the moment. The presence of robots will be frequently instead of workforce; therefore, this way of production will be unfortunately at stake. It’s a huge problem to keep in mind because this revolutionary change might generate by far more tension than expected. By the future era, robots will have been adapted to the new modern workplaces and all the elements that become part of them. To sum up, innovative technology will influence new types of workplaces. This will provoke a complete reorganization of the structure of the places or the inclusion of complex workforce, for instance, robots.March 18, 201920
- A very formal letter Dear Mr Williams I’m writing you this letter to get information about the language courses in London at the Big Ben School of English. There are some issues that I would like you to clarify. First, I would like to know how many students there will be in the school and in each class because I have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and I need a friendly atmosphere surrounding me which helps me to flourish my motivation. Furthermore, I would also like to know what qualifications the teachers have because they will have to be reported on my situation. Due to the variety of activities the school offer, I would like to ensure if the price covers everything, and if the school area has several amenities, like bus stop or bike shed. Finally, it would be incredibly great to know more about the resources the school has for a student with ADD or similar situations. I’m looking forward to hearing your response. Feel utterly free to write me if you want to ask me anything else. Yours sincerely, BrianMarch 10, 201930
- Could anyone of you correct my writing, please? Great magical special effects and a wonderful cast are not the only highlights of the film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald. The allusions to Harry Potter’s saga have made people feel amazed again since the last film about the little wizard, in 2011. Magic and old memories join to give birth to a new Scamander’s film, in which he will be able to spoil the evil plans of the powerful warlock Grindelwald. In my opinion, the choice of Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander was utterly effective in the first film because his personality has captivated the audience. In the sequel, his new adventures add taste to the flavour. In addition, the strong presence of some characters, for instance Nagini or Nicolas Flamel, give us amazing moments that carry us to the childhood considering that most people, who have gone to watch the film, have been growing up with the Wizarding World. The atmosphere is quite enveloping, and every detail has an important meaning for fans. The rest of the cast, especially Jude Law and Johnny Deep, has demonstrated that he has been up to their roles. The best part is when we discover the big secret that surrounds the character of Credence, without any doubt. My only grumble is that the film is a bit boring at the beginning because there is a lot of dialogue and every scene takes place rather slowly. Moreover, some characters are not very developed psychologically, especially in the case of Nagini, who is a very beloved character and we don’t know very much about her story. All the same, if you are mad about Harry Potter’s saga, you must watch this film. Everything related to the world of the wizard is going to bring a lot of good memories to your mind. Anyway, if you like fantasy productions and you enjoy watching how a great cast of actors and actresses act, this is your choice!January 21, 201900
- La mia routine La mia settimana feriale è molto agitata: il lunedí mattina faccio una passeggiata in campagna perché mi piace moltissimo collegare con la natura. Nel pomeriggio vado a lavorare; sono professore e adoro insegnare ai bambini. Il martedì vado spesso a bere qualcosa con i miei amici. Il mercoledì studio l'italiano nella mia casa. Il giovedì vado al museo perché mi piace molto l'arte, sopratutto l'arte barocco e rinascimentale. Il venerdì vado al centro commerciale per giocare a bowling. È molto divertente, sopratutto quando vinco il mio ragazzo! Il sabato esco a ballare in discoteca! La domenica preferisco riposare a casa mia perché la settimana mi lascia molto stanco!January 5, 201910
