- Is it ok to say this? Is this sentence correct? I'm using a phrasal verb and I'm not sure it is ok, I don't know if saying "your own" (without an object after) is gramatically correct. "You don't need to go to any cool place, you can turn your own into the coolest one." I'll really appreciate your help!September 5, 201260
- Introducing Haley Hi guys, I want to introduce you my new home mate. Her name's Haley and the only thing she knows pretty well is CRY. Yes, she cries all the time, she cries during the day either during the night. She also is refusing to eat her meals. So I'm having some problems. I think she's missing her brothers and sisters and here she's getting quite bored. I hope our relation get better @_@
May 30, 201170 - A Facebook life I work from home. This situation has some advantages, the more important ones are related to choose the time in where I decide to work and the time I decide to do nothing. Anyway, I spend a lot of time on Facebook, all the things I do or I like are there. Some of my friends told me I have a sort of obssesion with this social network. I don't care, I don't want to argue with them, I just like Facebook. I see it's a good way of share your life with people who are near you, is a way to get closer to people you like. As I share my life there I don't like to accept unknown people. I rarely use Facebook chat. The apps I use the most are photos, links, and notes. I also like social games on Facebook. I would like to work in the development of games companies, like Playfish or Metrogames. I've applied for a job in Metrogames last year to work there as a GUI designer, but unfortunately they didn't pick me.
May 24, 201120 - Lifestyle I live in an apartment. It's quite classic, although it has some modern details because it was restored three years ago. I moved here last Friday, so everything's quite new for me. I want to make a new makeover soon, there are some details I dislike. My new neighbourhood is too quiet, I don't like this very much, but I had to choose: the space I have in my apartment worth it although the neighbourhood is quite boring and it's quite far from the city centre. My lifestyle is OK for me. I think I have a quiet lifestyle: I live alone, I've got a work (I work at Fine Arts college as a teacher and I work from home as a freelance designer) and I enjoy my free time watching TV, going to the movies, or just meeting up with friends. I also enjoy drawing and taking photos. I also like going to BA along the year. I'm interesting in events and workshops related to graphic and motion design. Frequently these events are free so I enjoy learning and seeing great design stuff. I hope I can start studying a master degree next year. I'm really into branding and FADU is currently offering master degrees around this branch. I also enjoy buying nice things: from food to CDs and even furniture. I like going shopping online. I also like travelling but I had not the chance to go abroad yet. I hope one day I can go to places I'd like to visit such as NYC or London. Anyway, first I have to work hard. Currently I'm studying English, I find this language very interesting. I need to learn fast because I have some clients who I work for and they don't speak Spanish, so I have to send my e-mails in English. So my goal now is learn as fast as I can, I'm taking classes and I'm also using e-learning to learn faster. There are some really nice social networks in which you can learn English and meet nice people. Now I'm using Livemocha and Italki. They're very useful for me.
May 12, 201130 - What should a good English teacher be like? Tomorrow me and my classmates are going to complain about our English teacher. She doesn't fit to our expectations. We're paying one of the best private institutes of the city so we need a responsable person who really wants to teach. Is usual find teachers that have with them lots of years of teaching, and they're great. But there are some exceptions and this is the case of ours: she only follows the book, she even doesn't know what page we're going to learn, she doesn't care being there talking with us. We're adults but we deserve respect, and our children too. I am a teacher at a public university, I prepare and plan every single class I teach. My students are adults and teenagers, and I care about them and I'm worried about the way they pick up tools to improve their skills. In Argentina, public universities are an effort that each Argentinian do to afford the problem of public education. Lots of teachers here don't receive any money for teach at the university, they don't have a salary and work for free, and yet they put all their effort to give their best. And I think students and teachers have to be involved and keep all the effort they can. Thousand of times I haven't been seen favorably by teachers who wears suit and are in their jobs since decades. This all just because I'm not formal in the way I dress or the way I use my haircut, screw that; the importance of teaching is to be able to catch the attention of your students, do always something new, pay attention always to the changes in contents that you teach, and work with and for the students. Therefore I can't do nothing when I see people who doesn't care what are they doing there; we all have to be committed.
