Imagen
  The following are some guidelines for you to write on the topic. Firstly, just to remind everybody, this topic is the result of a collective reflection and discussion given during our week's session and as a group, students have decided on the topic of.  "Experience in Online Classes" You have to develop your piece of writing freely in 450 to 500 words. In order not to model your writing, I am going to skip writing about it but instead I am going to give you some highlights on what to and not to do: 6 Tips to Improve your Writing. Several times I have been asked this question " What would you recommend to improve my writing skills ?" and well, certainly most of us have already been to the position of being a bit lost in the sea of words trying to carry out a certain piece of writing for work or studies, for that reason, in this post I will try to summarize in 6 tips some of the advice I have been constantly giving to many students over the 14 years I have been...

And here I am!!  As a youngster I always wanted to have a job that it's  fun, light, and easy to do job, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option. From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change. In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, ...

   My Pet We have decided that today we will write about our pets.  Cover the following topics: - How did you get it and what is it? - What Characteristics does it have? - What importance does it have in your life? * In case you do not have a pet, let us know about someone you love who owns a pet. - Comments: leave a comment on your teacher's post + 3 of on your classmates' posts - Word Count: 180 words    My Pet . I have recently adopted Dulce at an “Adoption Session” sponsored by Garras y Patas Foundation, there I found Dulce, a very beautiful, two-year-old, female dog. She is a mixed dog and before we came across with each other, she had been given for adoption because her previous owner had got very ill and could no longer take care of her. Luckily, she didn’t spent too much time waiting for someone to take care her! She is an old dog but paradoxically full of energy. She was not trained as a puppy and despite she has some bad habits, she has never spoi...

  Post 3: The Best Song Ever: (Write the following post in between 200-250 words, also make comments on your teacher's blog and on 3 of your classmates' blogs) T hinking about this topic has had a strange effect in my mind since I have had to think over music, songs, bands and at the same time it has forced me to evoke good and bad past-life-experiences, particularly, this task has struck me in my emotional memories. In this task I have had to remember the very intense, young-age parties on which music was a manifestation of the euphoria lived during my youngster years, also, it has made travel back down memory lane and brought me the smells of those first-love spring-time afternoons, on which teenage love fulfilled my teenage life. However, after going through several of these experiences I have decided that I am going to consider the best song ever to a song that many times had been a bit overlooked due to our strong cultural tendency towards euro centrism. This son was ...

Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colourful country. Russia has an incredible population,  they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but I don't worry over it! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact,  its geography is composed of more than 17 mil...
