Sixth week Free time - What was the easiest? The information was easy, I understand almost all the words and the ideas. - What was the most difficult? Maybe select the main idea of each paragraph. I got a little confused because there were similar ideas and information, so I had to read twice the paragraphs to be sure about my answers - What do you think you need in order to become those difficult things into easy ones? I need to do more similar readings to improve my comprehension and to identify easier the main idea of the paragraphs - Could you identify the questions that were about skimming and scanning? Give examples of those questions (if you did not, try anyway to find them) I think it was skimming because the activity was about finding a general theme, and the focus wasn't on specific words. The idea was to find a main idea for each paragraph  - What did you understand about the text? I understood that free time is valuable but people usually ...

Fifth week Types of dreams Did you know that there are several types of dreams? Probably not because it is something  that nobody teaches you at school or in your life. Well, at first i'm going to clarify that "normal" dreams are a reflection of what is in your subconscious, here  there are stored the images that you have seen or the things that you have lived throughout your life. Now, let's see the other types of dreams: 1. P sychic or telepathic dream: Its when you dream something that is happening in the moment, either in the life of one of your friends or even in another part of the world. Also, it could be when you dream almost the same dream of someone. 2. Natural dream: It is the normal dream, it has things that you saw during the day, even if you saw a horror movie, it's probably that you are going to dream something related to that. 3. Premonitory dreams: A s its name says, it's when you dream something that will happen in yo...

Fifth week "The miracle morning" Originally, the routine of the miracle morning comes from a book of the writer Hal Elrod,when I knew this routine I thought it was very interesting and I started to put it into practice. It has a "formula" and you have to do something for each letter: S= silence  A= affirmations V= visualization E= exercise  R= reading S= scribing In silence the idea is that you stay in silence few minutes after waking up and in that time you can pray, thank or even meditate. Affirmations consists in say the good things of yourself or the things that you are in proud of  Visualizations are like imagine the things that you want to achieve but feeling the emotion as if you had them right now In exercise obviosly you have to exercise your body at least 30 minuts  In  reading you have to read something that inspires and motivates you Scribing is to write something, it could be your expectatio...

Fourth week One of my favorite singers    I like almost all the musical genres,  I think every type of music has their own  magic and the moment to be heared,   but what I listen the most is pop, either in English or in Spanish. In this case, i'm going to talk about one of my favorite spanish pop singer, she is Vanesa Martín and I love listening to her because she sings with a lot of passion and emotion, I can notice that she really loves and enjoys their songs.  One of my favorite songs of her is "Complicidad", it is a musical duo with other singer that I like too; he is Manuel Medrano, also I love his music and his voice and I love this song because both sing with love and emotion, besides, I think the lyric is good. 

(holiday week) I want to share some tips and habits to study and to be more ordered in general. The last year I wasn´t ordered enough and I forgotten everything, but this year I decided to change that and i'm very happy with this because it's working.  I started puting the homework that i had in a calendar or schedule and it helps me to do all on time, also I put reminders on my cellphone if it's necesary. On the other hand, it's important to haven't distractions like the cell phone or games when you are studying. I thing everything is question of organize your time; you could do an schedule every week and that will help you to know what activities you have to do and also your free time. Another important point is not to procrastinate, namely, is not to postpone the things you have to do, if you implement this habit, you will have an ordered life and without stress.
