Hello everyone:
I hope you feel like writing today. I’d like to tell you a bit about this image. To be honest, I found it hard to choose a picture. This is because there are so many pictures I like and they are in so many different contexts. I decided to go for something nice and simple. I took this picture in July 2010. I was on holiday and I had had a late night the night before. However, my husband and I woke up at around 6 and decided to go for a walk. We walked from the place where we were staying to the next village around. The village was really funny because it was basically three houses and a post office. Anyway, everything was closed because it was so early. We took a lot of pictures of the sun rising. It was a beautiful moment. I took this photo in particular. It is a very simple picture but what I like best about it, is the fact that it turned out just like I saw iton that morning. The light, the colors, the shadows, everything is exactly the way it was in my mind.
I love the way the sunlight hits the misty hills and you can see hills and more hills and more hills in the background. The image actually reminds me of the cover of a book I really enjoyed called “ghostwritten” by David Mitchell. The nicest thing I can think of is that I had a lovely walk on a beautiful morning breathing fresh air with someone I love.
Write about a photograph you like.

Say:

Who took it
What it shows
When it was taken
Why you like it

Blog correction

Today we are going to start taking advantage of the blog as a language learning tool. Many experts who study second language acquisition believe that making learners aware of their mistakes or the mistakes of their peers helps them avoid similar mistake in the future. Obviously, this is a long process but they believe it is very useful in classroom-based instruction.
Today I would like each of you to choose a post from the person whose name is above yours on my link list and correct one of their posts. Things you can check include:
spelling, punctuation, missing words, extra words that are not needed, wrong words, wrong tense, wrong verb, noun or word forms, etc. Use the symbols I gave you last week. Remember?

After that, you should post the correction with the symbols and ( the corrected version )on your blog.
E.g. I go T (went) there in 2009

Once you finish you should visit www.plataforma.com and do the activities for Unit 3: Tools of the Trade.

good tech

To think of my favorite piece of technology is rather simple. I have two, though.
I think the first one is my mobile phone. That is for a very simple reason. I like the idea of integration. For me to have a camera, the music I like and a diary with the numbers of poeple I want to ring, is really good I can't believe I used to memorize so many numbers! My brain must be deteriorating big time nowadays. The best part of it is the organizer. This is the only way I get to pay bills on time, send "boletas" on certain dates, etc. I love it. I got it in 2007 and use it all the time.
The second item I'd like to mention is the external disc drive. I think when you have lost all your info because your PC died or because you got it stolen or whatever reason, it can be really tragic. That is why I learnt we need to save info on a safe place that "ideally" will not collapse or disappear. I have complete books, whole albums of good music, and lots of documents that have taken me hours to download or write myself and don't want to lose. I don't remember when I got this ,but it was long ago. Could I live without them? Hell yeah! I would have to get used to it, that's all.

Describe your favourite piece of Technology.
Say:

- How you got it
- How long you have used it
- How often you use it
- Why you like it

Describe how life would be without it (200 words minimum
