    Hacer ejercicio con un compañero

    Voy al gimnasio tres o cuatro veces a la semana. La clase dura una hora y el entrenador usa un micrófono y le dice a la clase qué hacer durante toda la clase. Normalmente, la clase se divide entre la cinta de correr, la máquina de remo y el entrenamiento con pesas. Todos los días, la clase es diferente y, a veces, tenemos que trabajar con un compañero. Bueno, hoy fue el día del "entrenamiento de pareja". Aunque me gustan los deportes de equipo cuando voy al gimnasio, prefiero entrenar sola. Voy al gimnasio para ponerme en forma y no para socializar. Hoy mi compañero era un hombre y parecía bastante musculoso, así que pensé que podríamos ser un buen equipo. Soy una buena corredora pero no muy fuerte y parecía que él podría ser lento pero definitivamente muy fuerte. Fue muy divertido. Él trató de correr tan duro que se cayó del extremo de la cinta. Eso fue suficientemente malo, pero luego, cuando tuvo que usar la máquina de remo, remó tan fuerte que se cayó de su asiento. Yo soy una de esas personas realmente malas que se ríen cuando alguien se cae de una máquina (ojalá fuera más amable). De todos modos, ambos intentamos nuestro máximo esfuerzo y resultó ser uno de los mejores entrenamientos que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Resulta que él también tenía un buen sentido del humor.

    IELTS Letter - 09/02 Hi everyone. I wrote this recommendation letter as a practice for the IELTS test. I would appreciate your comments. To Whom It May Concern, With great pleasure I write this letter to support the application of my former employee, Bic Mitchum to the MBA at the Shanghai Business School. During the last six years I have had the chance to appreciate the professional growth of Bic going from an IT Analyst to an IT Operations Professional and ultimately to an IT Quality Professional. In 2010 Bic joined to Microsoft trough an outsourcing company as an IT Analyst. During the last five years, he has stood out for his intellectual skills, adaptability and proactiveness along with a deep sense of engagement and a continuous desire to improve. Therefore, the company has not hesitated to promote him to work as an IT Operations Professional where he developed the role of Datacenter Administrator. In this position he demonstrated his leadership abilities, managing a team of 8 analysts and 2 professionals. In 2014 he applied for a new position as an IT Quality Professional. His broad knowledge of the IT infrastructure as well as his management abilities allowed him to get that position, were he is performing until now. I wholeheartedly recommend Bic as a prospective business student. He will add a great deal to any business class. I can also envision Bic as a highly competent manager someday, which I say as a high compliment indeed. I therefore recommend him for admission to the MBA program at the Shanghai Business School.

    IELTS Letter - 08/02 To whom it may concern: I am writing this reference letter at the request of Bill Sharp who is applying for the International MBA at London Business School. I currently serve as IT Quality Manager at O2. I have 16 years of experience in the telecommunications sector. I have known Bill for two years, time in which he joined my team as an IT Quality Professional. Bill has a transversal vision of IT management because of the path he has followed from the technical side of IT to the strategic part where he is currently working. Thus, I have had the opportunity to appreciate his professional growth in the responsibilities that he have taken. A clear example is when Bill was in charge of the Office of IT Quality Services for a month, a period in which he demonstrated his ability to lead a team of 10 professionals and meet the objectives that were proposed to him. Every time I have worked directly with Bill I appreciated his ability to analyse complex problems within the IT infrastructure and propose effective solutions. It is also noteworthy his fluency in project management, working with interdisciplinary teams of professionals and their full willingness to perform not only assigned tasks but proposing new options. In summary, I believe that Bill has a set of outstanding professional and academic skills along with remarkable personal skills that make him a perfect candidate for the MBA program at London Business School. If you should need any additional information you can feel free to contact me by email at [email protected] anytime.

    IELTS Essay - 01/02 Hi everybody. I am studying to take the IELTS test. I am practicing the writing task, so I wrote the following letter. I would appreciate any correction or comment to write it better. We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits? Modern computers are able to execute very complex tasks. From giving the best route for your daily commute to flying planes, computers are present in almost every activity of our life. In the future, we expect a massive use of computers affecting more and more our life style. They could be used for self-driving cars, automated home appliances and robotics. There are some researches focused in integrate computing systems to the human body to improve human abilities or cure diseases. Nevertheless, there is an algid discussion on whether we should accept our dependence on computers or not. No one can deny that computers and technology make our lives easier. In the future we would not spend time driving a car; instead we could just sit and read, listen to music or make a business meeting, while our self-driving car gets us to our destination. There will be automated systems and robots that will complete our chores without human supervision. However, we cannot forget the inherit risks of technological development. One of the most prominent figures in modern science is Dr. Stephen Hawking. In a recent lecture he has stated that most threats for humans will come from science and technology. As computers become more powerful, it would be more difficult to control them. He warns about the importance of a controlled technology development in order to eliminate the risks of harm to humankind. In conclusion, computing and technologic development must be done carefully in pursuance of taking advantage of it and avoiding risks to our existence.

    IELTS Letter - 26/01 Hi everybody. I am studying to take the IELTS test. I am practicing the writing task, so I wrote the following letter. I would appreciate any correction or comment to write it better. You have bought a new laptop computer and in a few days of purchase discovered a major flaw. Write a letter to the company. In your letter - introduce yourself - explain the situation - say what action you would like to company to take. Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Ivan Fernandez and I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the laptop I bought fifteen days ago. The laptop worked just fine for the first week. However, I began to experience some connection intermittencies when I tried to connect to any WiFi network. These intermittencies become more frequent, coming to the point where I could not connect through WiFi anymore. I read the user’s manual and tried the troubleshooting process described there, although it did not worked. I called to the client support line and the agent who took my call suggested me restore to factory settings. I reset the laptop to factory settings but the issue was not resolved. At this point, I would like a full refund or change for another brand new laptop of different brand and model. I am looking forward for your communication and a response to my request. Yours faithfully, Ivan Fernandez

    IELTS essay - 25/01 Hi everybody. I am studying to take the IELTS test. I am practicing the writing task, so I wrote the following essay. I appreciate any correction or comment to write it better. Some people think that students who don’t take a break in studies between the high school and the university are at disadvantage compared to students who travel and work after high school before further continuing their education. Do you agree or disagree? Finishing your high school is not only a very important milestone in your live, but also the moment to take an important decision for your future life: take a break and work and travel or start your university studies immediately. Some people argue that is advisable to take a break in studies between the high school and the university in order to get work experience and life experience. Those who disagree point out that you cannot waste your time in the nowadays globalized world. The earlier you start your university studies, the earlier you will finish them. Today’s world is going at a rapid pace in every human aspect. Companies are demanding young professionals with innovative ideas but whit professional experience. Finishing your career at a young age, can give you the opportunity to get professional experience earlier and fulfill the global job market. In addition, starting the university studies right after you finish your high school, will avoid the risk to decide to not get a professional diploma. Statistics have shown that 15% of the people who take a break after high school finally do not enroll into any university program. However, taking a break between the high school and the university gives you the opportunity to work, travel and learn other languages and other cultures. It is a fact that people who speak more than a language get a better performance in their university studies. Most of the academic resources are written in English. Moreover, an academic exchange or an international internship can be reached only by bilingual people. In addition, a travel experience can improve your personal traits and personality. Sharing experiences whit people from other country, with a different people, enrich your vision of the world. In conclusion, I think that it is advisable to work, travel and learn another language before starting university studies. This gives you an advantage in terms of knowledge and maturity over those who start the university right after finishing the high school.
