- Un poquito de Steve Jobs Nació en el 24 de febrero de 1955, Steve Jobs era un niño durante un tiempo revolucionario en la historia del Estados Unidos, un hecho que tuvo un gran impacto en su vida y en la mentalidad de su más famosa compañía, Apple. Durante su juventud, experimentó con las drogas psicodélicas como LSD, una experiencia que Steve dijo cambió su toda vista del mundo. En un conversación con un reportero, Steve dijo que ‘era dos o tres del más importante cosas que hice en mi vida’. Otra cosa que lo influenciaba a Steve mucho en su vida era budismo zen. Inspiraba por libros que leyó durante su juventud y las cosas que aprendió por su viaje por India- se volvió su meta para hacer productos que representan una forma de arte, en vez de productos que se parecen burdo y difícil para usar.August 11, 201620
- La comida/Cocinar Los recuerdos de mi abuelita me enseñaba a cocinar cuando era niño son algunos de mis momentos favoritos de mi vida. Mi abuelita tenía un gran parte en formar la niño era a esa hora, y como así también la persona soy hoy. Mientras, no iba a ser a un chef, me encanta a cocinar y crear los platillos de solo varios ingredientes. Para mí, cocinar (y la comida en general) no es solamente de comer, más bien es de expresarte. La habilidad para crear algo y entonces poder compartirlo con tus amigos o los conocidos empezar construir una forma de comunidad que otras cosas no pueden hacer. Gracias por tus consejos y tu tiempo. … :)August 4, 201620
- Pep Guardiola en el Primer League La próxima temporada en el Primer League promete ser muy interesante por muchas razones, y especialmente porque será la primera temporada con el entrenador innovador español, ‘Pep’ Guardiola en la liga. Procedente de unos del más históricos clubes del mundo en Bayer Múnich y Barcelona, Manchester City es un nuevo club con diferentes retos para él. Aunque Manchester City tiene muchos futbolistas caros y muy talentosos, su trabajo será difícil porque tendrá que cambiar la mentalidad del club además del estilo de jugar en el equipo. Claro, Guardiola verá que los retos que las ligas en Alemán y España lo presentó fueron muy diferentes que los retos que el Primer League lo presentará. Por eso, muchos reporteros ingleses tienen dudas de Pep y la manera de fútbol quiere traer al Primer League. Históricamente, el país prefirió jugar en un estilo muy directo y rápido – una manera de jugar que es muy diferente que el estilo español que es menos directo y que requiere más futbolistas con un nivel de la técnica muy alta. Para mí, va a ser interesante si Pep Guardiola pueda cambiar la cultura de fútbol en Inglaterra y hacer su equipo uno de los más grandes en Europea. Porque soy un fan de Liverpool, ojalá que Pep no tenga éxito en la liga y el experimento sea un desastre. Pero con toda sinceridad, tengo respecto por los conocimientos de Pep, y su visión que es fácilmente avanzado por su tiempo.
July 24, 201610 Qualities of a good teacher
Being a teacher is not a job for everyone. Both you and I ("Both of us _____" sounds more natural, but obviously it means the same) have been taught by those excellent professors who inspire anyone, as well as by not so brilliant teachers and in some occasion ("sometimes" the most common phrase) poor ones. However, it is well known that these two different types of teachers have some characteristics in common which have enabled them to become what they are.
First of all, one of the most important accomplishment teachers must show is being wise in their field of knowledge. Mathematic teachers obviously have to demonstrate they have totally clear math concepts, therefore they have to get a degree. Imagine your English teacher had never studied the language properly, would you get to learn anything if you went to his or her lessons? I presume you would not.
Regarding to school teachers, those who have to deal with children must have some other different skills. Showing care for them is so important with children at young ages because it may make them be more interested in the subject, avoiding giving up school. At high school, seldom are harassments and threats useful with students, but encouraging them to learn, to discover new things, to show them what they can really get with their hands represent a better solution for bad pupils.
Moreover a teacher must be responsible, so that he or she takes seriously the classes (takes the classes seriously), always trying to get the best of the students. Not only should they focused on the subject they are teaching, but they should also adapt the class rhythm (the rhythm of the class) to the pupils. In addition, when confronted against a student, they must show matureness, so that the argument does not go so far.
Professors are continuously addressing subjects to a public, therefore being a good communicator and having a clear expression, are vital qualities to become a teacher.
In conclusion, the fundamental accomplishment a teacher should show is being passionate for what they do and what they know.Really good and interesting ,

0 votedJuly 21, 20160- Elena, la primera princesa latina de Disney La canal Disney ha anunciado será hacer una nueva serie llamado “Elena”- un programa de la vida y las aventuras de una princesa se llama, Elena. Elena será la primera princesa latina que Disney ha producido y un gran demonstración de la presencia en creciendo de la población latina en Los Estados Unidos. Además de la protagonista Elena, se espera que la serie tendrá una tema general latina, apoya de la arquitectura inspirado por las aztecas y los tipos de la música mariachi y salsa. Actualmente, Disney ha creado las princesas de antecedentes y vidas diferentes- la protagonista de “Frozen” era lésbica, además del año 2009 han tenido su primera princesa afroamericana. Si Disney crea un programa que representa la comunidad latina en una manera correcta, creo que la princesa Elena será un gran oportunidad para nosotros enseñamos todos los jóvenes sobre las culturas diferentes en Los Estados Unidos.July 18, 201620
- El mundo moderno El mundo moderno nos has dado muchas cosas magnificas que nuestros antepasados no podía imaginar (por ejemplo aprender otra idioma por el internet). Mientras tenemos la habilidad para mejorar el mundo y expandir nuestro visión de las vidas de otras culturas y maneras de vivir, es claro que el mundo está en un transición que nunca ha visto. Es fácil ser cínico sobre el futuro del mundo desde las noticias nos muestra continuamente que el mundo está en guerra, pero tengo optimismo en nuestro futuro. Creo que globalización y económicas global nos harán más responsable por la bienestar de otras y más avances en tecnología nos dará un mejor conocimiento de las vidas de otras. Gracias por tu tiempo. :)July 16, 201610
CAE WRITING ARTICLE 1
SUMMER, CADIZ, TOURISM
Well, I know, this sounds like the title of a movie but, as you all have been able to check; summer is finally here so it´s time to get ready for holidays. However, deciding where to go and succeed in not exceeding our budget is a truly challenge which can give us a serious headache but, what about the local people? Do they also suffer due to the massive number of tourist? Or on the contrary do they enjoy their presence?
Let´s then talk about the advantages and possible disadvantages tourism might have specifically in my region, called Cadiz
First of all, Cadiz is located in the south coast of Spain; here we have warm and sunny weather with lovely wild beaches where you can do aquatic sports like surf or scuba diving or alternatively just lie on the sand and get a sun tan. In addition, we have an outstanding light gastronomy perfect for those who love taking care of their body.
Nevertheless, despite all this enchanting things, Cadiz leads the country as the region with the highest level of unemployment thus, tourism mostly in summer is really beneficial for us because it creates jobs and fills the coffers; for a while at least.
Besides all this, I wish the number of visitors could (would) increase also in the low season too . This would give more stability to the current situation.
On the other hand, It is true that an excessive tourism may imply some inconveniences, such as beaches and bars full to the top thus, preventing local people from enjoying our own city, even so, every cloud has a silver lining, therefore, I invite you all to visit Cadiz, It won´t disappoint you , I promise!0 votedJuly 14, 20160Off sholuder dress and espadrilles (not an english word I know.. probably Spanish i'm guessing .. haha)
The moment you remove the washer and your dress has changed and it’s not the same (I understand the idea of the sentence, but just rephrase it.. )… Do you ring a bell? "Does it ring a bell?" "Does that ring a bell (to you)?" <---- common english idioms
No matter the fabric: it can be satin, polyester or cotton (especially in that case), your dress will be wrinkled, shape or colorless…. And then you think “ok, I will ironing it, and it will be fine”. But, not no. This off the shoulder dress is from Mango and it’s made in of cotton fabrics (not wrong, just not needed), so you can ironing it a lot of times (not wrong, just not needed), but when you sit on in your car and you buckle up, volià! Wrinkles everywhere. I need to think about this while I’m in the fitting room…hahaha.. (hahahaha)
It’s a good thing I don’t use off the shoulder dress often, and I think this (these) kind of dresses don’t be appropriate for working outfits (I mean, it depends what you do… of course).
This trend was born two years ago but I don’t invest so much in ("buy a lot of" sounds more natural, unless you buy expensive clothes and see them as "investments") tops or dresses off the shoulder in sales, because I don’t trust to wear them so much... Well, maybe in the future I will do, because this these kind of tops fit very well with A-line denim skirts. Have you ever bought any one?
By the way, I usually wear off the shoulder dresses with espadrilles, gladiator sandals and ugly shoes. I love them… My favorite bags to combine them with are ethnic bags or basket bags, as you can see in these photos. I’m wearing my favorite basket bag I bought in Las Dalias market (Ibiza).
About the bandana, I’m wearing it because I love hats, but they are usually bigger than my head… hahahaa I’ always have a problem with them, so I chose choose a bandana to top off the outfit. If you have the a head bigger than me (hahahahaa…) Please, chose choose a canotier!! They are very fashionable ;)(I couldn't correct the rest due to iTalki's character limit, but here's the majority)
I enjoyed reading your piece, your voice comes through in the writing .

I have been on this site for one year and I feel that I've grown with my learning; at the begginingbeginning, it was difficult because I didn't know what to write about and I didn't have language partners to practice with.Today it's different. I write an entry every day and the corrections that I get from the community have helped me a lot. I have written 2 short stories as entries and it seems that those ("like they" sounds more natural) were good stories.
I am going to start to read books in English and I will continue with my writings.
Thanks to all the people whom have helped me, I really appreciate it (".... appreciate it." is a common and natural phrase) that. entiresToday "is" different = just this one day in particular
Today "it's" different= this moment in time (not just one day in particular) "these days" or even just the word "now", is the common way to talk about what you're implying.
Good entry.. Not too much "wrong", just giving you helpful phrases to sound and listen to english more naturally.
