A career related website I use all the time is Word-reference.com.
I've even recommended you using it for your posts, as it includes examples of the words as well as discussion about uncertain translation and other expressions.

I visit this website on a daily basis, because as you know, english is my second language too, so I learn new words very often, also to remind myself of the spelling of words I don't use regularly. One of the most recurring situations in which I use this site, is when my students ask me technical words related to their careers.

The sight of this page is very nice in my opinion, it uses soft colors and that usually helps people to relax, also it provides links to different useful sites, as well as dictionaries in several languages that are one click away!

 

Now it's your turn.

Blog session nº6 Second chosen topic: UFOs

All right, all right.

Remember that time when in class we voted for the topics to write about? well, the time has come to start catching up with your decisions. Today's topic is UFO's, which is short for Unknown Flying Object.

This term is used to generally describe the objects observed in the sky, that are not recognizable. Usually people associate them with extraterrestrial life and visitors from other worlds.

So, are we alone in this universe? I don't think so, but then again, what do I know! All over the world and since a long time ago, people have reported the sight of "fire balls", shimmering stars falling, or different types of lights in the sky. What are these phenomena? It's a question that is yet to be answered.

I've never seen one myself, but I've heard all kinds of stories, and many art platforms have interacted with the topic, for example cinema, photography and television with famous shows like the X files or V.

So now it's your turn!
   


In at least 140 words, write about UFO's, you can look at the topic from different angles, the artistic side, the science fiction side, or even tell me about your personal encounters with UFO's or their tripulants.

Don't forget to make comments in my post and at least on three of your classmates'.

Blog Post N°5

A photography you like and its story!

Hi girls and boys!
This week's post is about a photography you like, any of them! It can be one you took, or a famous one taken by a photographer of your choice.

Here's mine!

                           

 In the picture, you can see George Harrison, and Bob Marley (and two other people I don't know)

I've liked these musicians for a long time now. Harrison, former guitar player and my favorite Beatle, is also the name of my first dog. And Marley, family name of one of the greatest artists/activists I know, is the name of my first cat :)

                                                

                           Here's my version of it. These are my Harrison and Marley :)

This took place in Copiapó, where I adopted Marley. She was about 4 months old in the picture, Harrison had never lived with a cat before, but he's such a lovely dog that he never had problems with her. This picture is special because it reminds me good times. It was taken back in 2014 when I lived in the Atacama Region. The reason why I chose this picture is because these animals were my family then, since I lived alone and knew nobody there. 

                                      
                                         EXTRA!!! Just because they look so cute!

So...
What's your favorite picture?
Where was it taken?
