A reflection on Education

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzkvEorXwtg&index=2&list=PLEDXclThcq5O5_HhWQfzQqboh1W11_dK

A professor exposes to an audience a reflection from the shadow of the education. He says that there are persons who are just now wondering to themselves if what they are doing is related to see with his life and change his life. Moreover the contents and theories that do not have the magic of the education and learning do not mean anything. Where is secret? In the skills and the pedagogy to captivate a student and that the classes receive life, to be able to revive the imagination and change the education. In my opinion all the people can produce magic if each person believes in themselves and what they want to achieve and to change. In conclusion it is our responsibility of continuing disillusioned or being better with ourselves and the others.

Hello mates!

As a child I love the tales. Even now, reading, watching, listening or telling stories is one of the things what I like most. I think that the more mataphoric the incidents are, the more interesting the story. Because of this, I have chosen this video.

It's a short film. It tells the story about the ambition of a man, and how the quest for his success as an alchemist destroyed his family. But at the end of his days, the man lernt what things were really important in life. So, he wrote a letter to his son and gave him a very special gift to teach him it. Thanks to that, the son, who already was adult, lived happy with his daughter.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I!

See you in class.

All that glisters is not gold, Shakespeare Speaks

Hi guys!

I've chosen this video that I would like to share with you.

The video show a William Shakespeare's daughter, who has bought a ring, gets a shock when her finger turns green - and William takes the opportunity to teach her a valuable life lesson. The story he told to her is about a Prince who want to married with a Princes, but first, she must choose between three boxes.

In my opinion, is a valuable history and it has a really interesting message, warns us about appearance and you not to be fooled by people or other things that look good, because they might not be as good as they look. There are many situations like this might happen in your life, say, when you go to buy and you see bargains or when you know new people. You need to be careful and not rush with your opinion or by choosing.

This is a history what we should never forget!

I hope you lke it and enjoy!

Fwd: [eoi-english-2015-ni1-mj7:11] VIDEO: What's virgin mean?

Hi guys, I would like to ask you a question "What does virgin mean?" I have doubt it and I want you to watch this video to understand what it mean.

                                         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3oYFS9g9I

Sometimes children ask us some very delicate questions  and sometimes we think that they do that when they are really asking innocent questions.

I think this video can be an advertisement. I have enjoyed it because it´s surprising and the punchline unexpected.

I like advertisements on TV; each one can be a little film to attract everybody's attention and to manage that everybody buys the product. I like analyzing them to understand which strategies they use to achieve it. In this video, humor, surprise and sex are what the ideas man uses.

In the end I don´t know what is the brand of the product advertised. Is it  an extra virgin olive oil? I don´t know but it doesn´t matter! I like it anyway!

I am going to talk about a -sense +scene from the movie -, "Apocalypse Now".

This movie is a perfect example -about +of the crazy and ruthless +situations of war.

The film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

It -starts +stars Marlon Brandon as Colonel Kutz, Robert Duvall as Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore and Martin Sheen as Captain Willard.

The film won a lot of awards, five Oscars, one Palme Do'r, two BAFTAs and  three Golden Globes.

The film is set in +the Vietnam war and -It -it was filmed on location in the Philippines  mainly.

I specially like one scene, where the cavalry is attacking a village  in -yours +their chops (helicopters) while the soldiers hear "Ryde of the Valkyres" by Wagner.

Regards.

Teapot power

Hi classmates!

I've chosen a short video that I would like to share with you.

It's about a strange building. I'm sure that you have seen or known about some of them. They are amazing!

I really enjoy seeing this kind of architecture.

The video shows a quirky building in the shape of cup of tea. When I first saw it, I was fascinated. I couldn't imagine it had ten storey offices inside.

We can find it in a China city called Wuxi and it's the symbol of the city.

It can be compared with the White Towers or the Kio Towers in Madrid.

It's such a curious building that everyone wants to take it a photo.

If you are interested in these constructions, there are different ways of knowing them. You can have a look online or also by travelling. I prefer the second one.

See you soon!

Hi guys

Some times, when I watch a video, I'm shocked and this is one of them. For me have been difficult to pick out one because, very often, TV provides us videos about people who suffer and unfortunately we're used to watching them.

You've just seen two people. A frightened man who is running away. He's carrying a child in his arms. He only has a dream, to live in peace. Suddenly a journalist kicks him and he falls over, but, what happen after?. I needed to imagine what happened after that so let me tell you the rest of the history. Surely the man's son asked his father "Why?" And he couldn't answer anything. He only looked away and cried, however, when the journalist's son asked his mother "Why?" she, proud, answered "Because I am superior than these people".

Stranded whales

Hi, dear classmates!

I have chosen a video about stranded whales in New Zealand. Whales are the biggest mammals in the world and the pilot whale is the most common species of whale in New Zealand.

The video shows us how some people helped whales to return back to the sea and how this people worked tirelessly although they weren't able to save all the whales.

When the whales were stranded on the sand, the volunteers kept the skin of the whales wet by throwing water buckets on them. After that, the volunteers dragged the whales towards sea and they tried to refloat them. Some of the whales came back to the deep sea.

In the end, 46 whales were saved but, unfortunately, despite the efforts 24 pilot whales died on the beach.

See you soon!

Hi Guys,

This is a short film about science of speech.

I have prepared for you a few tips to improve English pronunciation.

Firstly, to be good with the English pronunciation you should first start by learning the phonetic alphabet.

Thirdly, always learn new words and it's with the pronunciation.

Finally, borrow o buy a book about the English phonetics.

To conclusion, to imitate the pronunciation of a native speaker.  (Shadowing).

Hi classmates!

I´m writing this email because I want to talk about -my +this -funny +fun video.

First of all, I want to ask you this question, -Have +have you ever thought -about +if the way you eat is normal? I´m sure of it....

For that +reason, in the next video you can check +if the way you eat is normal.

In this video -[anyone talk] +[nobody talks], for this reason you should pay attention -in +to the cartoons and the sentences. They show you what percentage of people eat different -kind +kinds of meal in diferent ways.

-In +at the beginning the video asks you if your eating habits are normal, say, if you prefer eating your cereales soggy, crunchy or +you don´t care, either way...

I´m surprised because there are more -of +than five ways to make a -coffe +coffee! -whit +with milk, black, half & half or cream, +with almond or soy milk... -[For other side] +Besides, -also there are +also many ways of preparing a sandwich, eating an oreo, bagels or spaghetti. But in my opinion, no matter +the percentage, I prefer to eat spaghetti in the Lady & the trump style.

I'm looking forward to -see +SEEING it in class and I hope you like it.
