Week 10: Reports and Proposals

Imagen
Report from http://www.wright.edu/~david.wilson/eng3000/samplereport.pdf In a report, we see formal language (full form of verbs, high- level vocabulary) in order to inform the reader by a research. It contains lots of information, statistics and references. Starting with the purpose of the report, you must continue with numbered points so you can follow your ideas in an organised way. In a proposal, the aim is to convince the reader to start new activities. It is less formal than the report. You have to be more creative in a proposal, suggesting with arguments, than in a report, in which you are supposed to inform with facts.

Week 9: Urban Living

I love Italy, that is why I would like to live there when I am older. I hope that in the future I will be wealthy enough to afford living there. I consider Italy the most beautiful country of the world; its monuments, people and atmosphere is breathtaking. I have been in Italy only once I cannot wait to be back; I went to Venice, Rome and Florence but I am okay with a cheaper place. In addition, I rather live in a small city than living in a big one, but it depends on several things. Nevertheless, things changes fast and so does the future so I do not know where I am going to live and how I am going to be when I am 50. I also love cities such as Madrid, where my mother lived until she was 9. I have been there several times I would like to live here. I would love to live in London or in UK in general as I am studying English and is the language I want to talk every day.

Week 8: Odd Inventions

Pizza Scissors The world is full of odd inventions; you can even create one if you are imaginative enough. I have chosen the most useful one: the pizza scissors. We all love pizza, it’s a fact, so we need something that make eating pizza easier. I am really clumsy and I always need help but not anymore with this invent. These scissors can cut at the same time that hold the piece of pizza so it’s impossible to throw it. It might be difficult to use at the beginning but you will get used to it. Another problem with pizzas are the edges, they are hard to cut but these scissors are so powerful that will do it in one go. This is definitely the odd invention you needed. At the moment I am reading a book in English: The Hunger Games. I have already read the saga in Spanish but I thought it would be a good idea to do it in English just to see how different things are. So I am learning a lot because if I don’t understand a word I can easily search it and discover new words or new mean...
