On Friday, I had a pretty crazy day. My torture started at 4:30 a.m, when the alarm rang and the silly light turned on in my room. I usually wake up very angry because I love sleeping. I tried to keep calm and stay positive, and I finally got out of bed. Following that, I took a quick shower and went to the kitchen for breakfast.
As a surprise, breakfast was ready and it was one of the dishes that I love, arepa. Arepa is a Venezuelan and Colombian Dish made of corn flour which is previously cooked. So with this flour, along with water and salt, people of my country make a dough that is then cooked, creating a crispy layer that contains soft dough inside. Usually, in Venezuela, we fill the arepas with cheese, meat, butter, cheese cream, salami and many other things, because it's delicious. I am glad that I can eat arepas, because in recent times Venezuela has been going through a very bad situation. Lots of people have to find their food looking in the trash, which is a shame.
When I finished my breakfast, I went to my office and resolved a situation with my work's e-mail, because it wasn't working and I'd been having to use my personal e-mail for work. I had to correct some things on my last report, because my boss told me that it would be better if I had done it like he said. Also, I started to move my things to another office because currently we are changing offices in order to reduce the rent costs.
My day at work finally ended at 5:30 p.m, and I went to a cafeteria to meet with a friend of mine and to talk about our week. We can't do that usually because she works in another city, so it's difficult for us to be able to meet every single week. I stayed with her until she took a taxi to her home, and I decided to take a bus at that same moment.
The bus was uncomfortable, but it was cheaper than taking a taxi. I arrived home at 8 o'clock, and I ate dinner with my mom, grandma and cousins. We talked about our day. My mom said that she had a hard day because she went to a bank looking for cash. This is really difficult here in Venezuela, and she wasted all morning trying to make a bank withdrawal. She left the bank at almost 4:00 p.m and only obtained 100,000 Bs.F, which is nothing and only useful for paying for the bus and perhaps small bags of species for food.
I went to my room and went to sleep at the same time that my head hit the pillow.0 votedJuly 8, 20182Essay #172 "Online University Courses" 08.07.18
With the development of internet technology, many spheres of our lives have been affected drastically. In terms of education, this has created an absolutely new way of teaching and learning with the help of the internet. Despite the fact that some people think that education has to contain the personal interaction between a tutor and a student, in my opinion online learning courses are extremely helpful for the educational process.
The introduction of online courses and the concept of online learning have made education much more available for everyone. Many of these courses are free, and they create an absolutely different approach to education. Now, regardless who they are, people have the opportunity to get the education they want. In the case of paid courses, they also provide people with a quite convenient way to educate themselves.
Another point is that this system helps students to create a more flexible and suitable learning schedule, as they need only the internet for these purposes. They are able to easily manage their time and use it more efficiently, which provides better results. Quite often, lack of spare time is one of the reasons people do not risk tackling a professional education or just learning a foreign language.
And lastly, these courses are often provided by universities and different educational institutes. Thus, students of these schools can rewatch lectures any time they want. This has a great effect on their educational performance, especially for quite complicated subjects. They get the opportunity to clear up some confusing bits of information by rewatching or rereading lectures or other materials.
To conclude, the internet has made our lives much easier and more convenient, and it has expanded its influence on the educational sphere as well. Online education has drastically changed the way people learn, and it has made education more available and flexible. Thus, now we have a great instrument for educating ourselves. By having the right amount of determination, we are able to tackle any profession or language we want and achieve any aim or dream we have set up.0 votedJuly 8, 20182
