entry 11. Final reflection

Final reflection

As every course in the beginning I had many expectations about what I could learn new, and how I can exploit the knowledge of the so prepared teacher. Specifically I believe that English language is very important and essential to get a best job, for talking with friends, to travel everywhere on the world and get job in international business.

In that case English four was useful to improve my vocabulary with words of a highest level, practicing pronunciation with partners that know so much and have a good fluency, partners that have many skills to talking English, also they are very friendly and are always willing to help and explain. In teacher case only I can say excellent professional and human, very patient, helper and differently to others teachers always given us enough time to do exercises.

In conclusion all this advantages (partners, teacher, companionship and patience) is it very important factors to learn easily English, for me this course was very productive because I could improve some parts of my English learning, and share with very funny and shocking people. 

Entry 9, The Time Machine

The time machine

A scientist did the greatest experiment done before. This experiment promises trespassing even the time barrier, and traveling where you want, in any period, and most importantly the scientist told me that if I travel clearly I can come back.

With that adventure in front of me I decided to take a risk, I told him that I wanted to go to the time when Jesus was on the earth, and he said why did you choose that period having many other times to go, and I said it was not important to me that time period, for me it was important to know the greatest person that has lived on earth, for me it is really like achieving a dream. I want to walk with Him and learn about His wisdom, to me that could be the best thing that I could do.

My friend the scientist decided to start the trip with me as the passenger, and the trip was a little moved and bright, but after some minutes I arrived to that period, my surprise was that I appeared in front of the cross where my Lord was dying in that one moment I cried on my knees, and understood a little bit how much He loved us, and the immense price that He paid for us, no love can be same now I am sure.

Essay 2

Technology that changed lives

The human breed has been in an amazing evolution; always in history humans resolved most of our needs. The majority of people have capacity to invent things to solve our problems and perform more easily all activities and jobs.

Some important inventions as the internet, robots, machines and vehicles were great things in the moment when, they were created. Today they are normal objects used daily to facilitate life. Now many scientist and business created new technology with the same intention of helping us and facilitating jobs. For example: the clean energies, robots that are doing dangerous labors and in other cases inventions out from the original purpose, that’s the case of genetic engineering. These scientists try to modificate the life as God created it, and pretend to create life. I don’t agree with this kind of inventions.    

   ≠

The technological advances only should be to help and improve the life style, and not to affect the right things in nature. I agree when technology really helps us and serves life, and is used to create the cure to sever and mortal illnesses.
