FINAL REFLECTION

1. Can you see an improvement on your level of English in the past year/s? Where, for example?

Yes, in general in improving, expanding my vocabulary like a book being written with new plot. It's a shame I could learn more about British culture, I wanted to know more about their Tea times and in general a little bit more history of Britain.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English?

I think I'm mainly good in writing in English but I know I have more potential if I use my oral expresion to talk with people. Expression is esencial in jobs because if the other doesn't understand you there will be a lot of complications at the time something occours or propose a new project. Although I know I love writing in English the special activities I like the most are the your-essays, in those, I can talk about everything and anything I desire.

3. Which activities were really USEFUL to improve your English? Why?
The ones that imply the writer to use the vocabulary learnt throughout all the projects in this year. Mostly the tasks and even the news helped me to improve my English level.

4.Which activities did NOT were really USEFUL to learn English? Why not?
Sincerely, the oral presentations, I get so nervous in those situations that I forgive the vocabulary to say in my presentation, also there's another one, the songs, some songs are not that useful if the person who listens to it doesn't like them or doesn't pay enough attention to the song and talks with other classmates.

5.Which activities would you like to do again next year to keep improving your English?
Deffinetely I would still like doing blog your-essays in my blog and other personal opinion activities because there are very reflective about the daily lives of everyone.

6.Open comments
Maybe, there are some activities that students love to do, but it's more easy to ask them what kind of activities would want to do in each term and the teacher needs to have the capacity to make those activities suitable for them, it may improve the English of students if they do what they like to do, but in English.

Panda Caretaking Center

48 Hinchun Street

Hong Kong

Dear Mrs. Lia Yang,

I am writing to you in response your web advertisement for a caretaking volunteering job in your Panda Caretaking Center. I would like to apply in this position because I personally think those animals need more attention that it seems to be, specially nowadays where people cut off entire forests in Asia for mass producing paper. I am aware of the cost for maintaining those poor animals in good state, that is why I want to work with you for a modest price.

I am wary that I need a strong mind and strong feelings of responsibility, and of course the will to be hours and hours watching over pandas, cleaning them.... cleaning their mess.... feeding them... but I do have those requirements and I also love taking care of animals, specially those who have furr and a big belly.

I'm awaiting for you response Mrs. Lia Yang, hope you write to me as soon as posible, thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Dawid

GAP YEAR

Do a Volunteer Conservation Job in my Gap Year

I really would like to do a volunteer conservation job in a Panda Breeding Centre in China, as long as I can, because those poor animals are endangered species, specially when they have so many threats in their habitats such as spread population of pandas throughout all southern west China forests. I really don't care the price of the trip but as long as I will be with pandas I will be satisfied. I deffinitely would take a plane to go to China and then in my own visit some places like the china famous Temples (Pagodas) and in my free-time there I would have a walk in the outskirts of the city I would be living in.

 I don't know if I want to do a gap year, in other meanings a gap year also means a waste of time for  studies I don't have enough money either (now, maybe in the future I will have more... who knows?) for doing trips to another countries. Therefore I will wait until I get exhausted of studies (which isn't the case now) and try to do my best to do a right career here and go doing volunteer conservation job in another countries when I have vacation and abundant wealth. Also this gap year requires having the will to help those little animals in breeding, you must be pacient and really cheerful. For you those panda would be like a child of yours but in need of someone in their lives to cheer them up. Little panda aren't harmful, they are really frisky and joyful , they love to play around and they above all really love their

owner.

Still, people should do a Gap Year if they really need to do it because it's like a "year of relaxation and to clear your mind" it's a favour for your mind, you become more sociable after you come after a gap year. Most importantly of all, I already decided my future plans here in Spain, I already had planned a programme to follow having a goal in mind :  Enter the college. So this thing about all about the gap year will come to  a halt until future revision.

. 

If I help with love and passion those animals, I'm sure in the future I perhaps get a new friend when I return :)

ALTERNATIVE GAP YEAR IDEA: 

Go on a trip to Japan

Since I was a little child who whatched cartoons and anime, I wished going to Japan on a trip, because Japan is the original country where my cartoons came from. In other meanings, their original producers and directors are in Japan, not in Europe nor America.  Now, I want to visit Tokyo, but I don't want to stay there for the nights, I prefer going to a small town where the population is more reduced than Tokyo, where People Traffic ( A lot of crowd in the streets walking with poor space to walk in) is lessen. 

I would start visiting the anime stores, and comic stores because it's my first goal to achieve with my trip. Then, I would visit other culture monuments that appeal people to come close enough to stare at them, like golden lions, sanctuaries, temples... etc

My period there, as the other Gap Year Idea, would be vague, I'm not pretty sure how much I would like to be there but... deffinetely as long as my money persists of flying off  my wallet.

Fashion Quiz Result Opinion

WHAT'S YOUR CLOTHING PERSONALITY? QUIZ

First of all I must warn people watching this that it's not a Unisex quiz, it's for girls only, I'm not a girl but today I had to take this quiz. The results were that I'm a sport style person but I totally disagree with this affirmation, even though I wear sport clothes but only for comfort matters. It's easier to me to walk and have more pliancy when I run or sit, it doesn't puts pressure on my hips, so it's way more comforting to sit down for large ammounts of hours in a chair when you're in class. In my opinion I like to live life in comfort, without many problems that torment my head making life difficult to live.

GLOBAL ISSUE: CLIMATE CHANGE

16 PERSONALITIES TEST

I did one of those 16 personalities test and those were the results: 

An INFP type... well , I am an Introverted person because I don't really like being a celebrity or someone popular, so many people looks forward for you sometimes, admire you, others will hate you for your actions and opinions done in public situations. Although I'm Introverted I'm happy with that, I live well with small groups of people, it's much easier for me to communicate and I know when I can trust someone or not. I sincerely preffer few friends which I can trust than having more than 50 friends who I don't really know deeply.

Now, i'm pretty Intuitive (although it says I have just 22%, a slight preference of Intuition over Sensing)  somewhat I don't really rely on logic for resolving mathematical equations, I do it instinctivly, it's not mechanical it's just... understanding I suppose. Sometimes, I have to say that my intuition goes wrong and at the end I do errors like the rest of humanity, humans aren't perfect.

The third facet of personality turn out to be Feeling, in other meanings, I use more feelings than thinking. I agree with this result because thinking, normally, conceals your true feelings as well it can make you  chose bad options that will affect other negatively. So I tolerate abover other things listening to what my heart wants me to say than listening to my own thoughts.

Finally, and the last one, I have a moderate preference of Perceiving over Judging. I am a free spirit, I don't really want to judge anyone, it, somehow, makes me sad (this actually because of  feeling more over sensing). So that's why I agree with the final result  I made in this quiz.

If you want to see more or less more information about my personality type I leave the link of my result here, at the bottom there is more information about my personalty type, also other's type as well:

A TED TALK ABOUT FASHION

DENIS DUTTON: A DARWINIAN THEORY OF BEAUTY

"Artifact and Images that have intrigued humans for centuries"
"Beauty in ancient cultures"
"Different ways of contemplate Beauty"
"Eyes of Beauty and Heart of Beauty, we feel both of them"

In this talk Denis Dutton talks about how the evolution made beauty an alluring way to express ourselves, even Mother Nature. He wants to show us how much the notion of beauty changed across the human and animal timeline  and nature as well. He talks about our perception of beauty in landscapes (the gorgeous ones), and how it had influenced at us. He also makes a recoil to the prehistoric times where the troglodyte had a clear expression of beauty in the way they made their tools: oval and almost symmetric, without scraches or marks of being used before in cutting or chopping. With those evidences, the art lovers deduced that ancient cavemans also had a perception about beauty. The other way, animals like peacock have beauty on them like their shinning and dazzling blue tails that male peacock use to attract female ones, in this case Denis Dutton talked about sexual attraction.

I agree with those facts and those beauty visions in other issues because most of us thinks beauty as a part of ourselves only with clothing as a decoration, making consumism the most beauty-senseless agent in the world.
