Blog Lengua Inglesa III and IV (Daniel Abellán)

Doing the last entry of the blog is always satisfying as well as sad since it means that you do not have to keep on remembering doing the blog but it also means that everything is over. I must confess that I have enjoyed doing the blog week after week because it is an activity that none of the other subjects have and it quite entertaining. Nevertheless, I would change the last questions of all of the entries about the weekly English practice because some weeks I just do the same as the others so I am not sure if I have to repeat what I have already said or came up with other activity.  This subject is one of my favourites and I enjoy it so much as it is simple English; with its vocabulary, grammar, listening, readings... and it is what I most loved about this language. Apart from the last question I would not change anything about the blog and the rest of activities in the subject because it is nice.  Finally, I just want to say goodbye to this subject, to this blog and to m...

I have found on the Net the results of a scientific experiment just to see how these results are shown and introduced. It has been taken from: https://unilearning.uow.edu.au/report/2bv1.html ‘The following observations were made as a result of experiments conducted by Casey Hospital with respect to four types of E.Coli bacterial strains.  The graph illustrates that 5mg. /ml. of Chloramphenicol stopped the growth of two strains of E. coli; EC 1 and EC 3 . It also illustrates that the 5 mg/ml of Chloramphenicol had little to no effect on the EC 2 strain of E.’ […] On observation of each strain of E. Coli, it was apparent that all treatments used a deterring effect on the growth of E. Coli colonies but some treatments were more effective on particular strains than others (see Figure 1.)  In this text there are no adverbial clauses so I am going to explain what they are and give some examples. A clause is a group of words that contain both a subject and a verb. A...

I have searched on the Internet some news about academic topics and I have ended up with one about bilingual schools. The article discusses how children are getting more and more practical if they start bilingual schools since it develops their creativity and learning skills. The article mentioned is from: https://www.educationdive.com/news/bilingual-education-prepares-children-for-a-multicultural-world/539779/ `Our world is more multilingual and multicultural than ever before . Studies show that the earlier a child is exposed to a second language, the greater the likelihood he or she will gain proficiency . Recent studies  also show that students in bilingual education programs outperform their peers in attention and reading. In one study covering six states and 37 districts, the researchers found that , compared with students in English-only classrooms or in one-way immersion, dual-language students have higher test scores and also seem to be happier in school...

Firstly, I have chosen a webpage in which a chart with tons of phrasal verbs are illustrated. It is quite completed as it covers several kinds of phrasal verbs with different meanings. It is distributed alphabetically so you can search what you need easily.   This is the chart: https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/phrasal-verbs-list.htm As it is stated in the exercise, I have provided a complaint text from https://oup.useremarkable.com/production/images/uploads/3703/original/uk_sample_complaint_letter_unsatisfactory-workmanship.pdf  :  Dear Mr Hampton,   I am writing to complain about the faulty installation of the above blackout shade to my bedroom window. Mr Brand from your company came to my house to fit the shade on Monday, 29 March. That same evening , I discovered the mechanism was not working and that it was impossible either to raise or to lower the shade. I phoned your company the following morning, and Mr Brand returned three days later...

Firstly, I have chosen some webpages in which how to write essays is explained. There are several types of essays but almost all of them have the same structure and can be explained together: https://www.internationalstudent.com/essay_writing/essay_tips/ | http://lklivingston.tripod.com/essay/ and https://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu/pages/essay-structure The major difficulty I find when I want to write an essay is the topic I am going to use, even if it is given I find trouble in how to express it. However, there are lots of tips in order to overcome this issue. When the topic is given it is obviously easier but finding ideas is always hard. Sometimes is easier to invent than to write about real facts so I do not care about what I am writing as long as it makes sense. This week I have been reading some articles in English and I am looking for some audios or listening activities to start next week because I find it my weakest skill.
