This week I found this video that explains how some brands in their logos play with activity that they do and if we pay attention we can see little details that are related with the brand. It is really interesting because sometimes we don't see this this kind of creative logos that are very cool. 

PD: the video does not have audio so I had to read the information.

This week I chose to practice reported speech because I wanted to make sure that I understood completely this topic. This could be easy but I always have some problems with the conjugation of the verbs.

Reflection of the first partial

In this first partial I felt good and not, yes because Im am practicing everyday in the class and my home, but not because I got a bad score this partial. I know that im not so bad in English but sometimes I don't pay a lot attention in all the topics so when I have to study or to do some exercises about this I'm not sure about what I have to do. I promised myself that this partial I would get a better score and obviously I'm going to practice  more and more.

Corrections 

Dear Ms Meyer

In response to your email I would like to thank that you have paid attention to my comments. The day I was  in the Stardust Restaurant I went with a friend we wanted to celebrate her birthday but there was a problem with the  woman that bought us the dinner, when I made de reservation  I specified that I wanted a cake for us and the person who I talked to  told me that it would be a pleasure so when I paid the cake to the woman she told me that there weren't any cakes, obviously I got angry and I explained that our cake should be in our table right now, the woman shouted at me and said that if there wasn't  a cake it wasn't her fault, I tried to calm her down  and we went away the fastest  we could.

Well that was the problem: mainly the service of waitress so I suggest that speak with her because she was rude with us and can be with anybody and and obviously I suggest that do what you promise, the restaurant promised me that my cake would be there and it was not there.

That day should be especial and but it wasn't  for your fault.

Sincerely

Robert Krumm

This week I chose this topic to practice in ECentral because sometimes I get confused when I have to use the verbs   even if maybe this kind of verbs are easier that in other times. This exercise helped me to practice more and to remember how to use them correctly.

For this week I read an article that caught my attention because talks about something that sometimes worried me that is "How to Calm Your Nerves Before a Big Presentation" . Since I found this article I wanted to read it because when I haver a presentation or a oral work I always get so nervous and in this information I could found some tips that  can help me in this situations like what I have to do before and during the presentation. I think that this article include good information for this situation that can scare us a lot.

Recordings - Project

This project I really like it because it helped me to improve my speaking and also my writing. It was fun because I spent a lot of time practicing what I had to say and I had to record many times my audios because I laughed for the intonation of my voice or for making mistakes. In my opinion this project was cool and I would like to do more like this.

This week I did an exercise in ECentral that is related with modals. This exercise helped me to practice this subject that could look kind of easy but the truth is that even when I think that it is simple always I have little mistakes and thats good because I understand that I don't know all the "simple" subjects so well.

This week I read an very interesting article named "Here's why Snap is playing it safe with investors" the information that this article shows us is important because it mentions real data about this application that in these momentos I think that a lot of the young people are using it. For example this article said "It's about being able to communicate how you feel and in the moment" and that it's true because well in my case when I share something in snapchat is because I feel happy or because I want to share something fun. Snapchat it's a great application nowadays but this success has a lot of work behind that not everyone knows.
