The cars Festival Wherever there is a salt lake desert, there are a lot of variation of cars. Everyone has a favorite kind of car, and this story talks about the “Cars Festival”. During the 20 of June in 2015 the most expected festival was being celebrated. The cars that were selected to be shown were chosen by a very important jury. The festival was celebrated in “The Salt Lake Desert” in UTAH. That place was usually used to try the velocity of cars, but during the festival it was used to show the cars and doing a great competition. Around 11:00 am a man arrived to the festival, his name was Jack, and he joined the competition there was. What the prize presented was everything he always wanted, importance. The prize gave popularity to whomever win it. The competition had some steps; the first one was that every competitor had to have a car to show and expose everything about it, history, features, etc. The way how the person presents it was very important too. His performance was not what he hope. Although he knew all the information about his car, he got very nervous, but he could go to the next step. The rules for the activity said that each competitor had to solve a riddle. It was about a part of the car, and he could answer it very easy because he know exactly what the riddle was referring to. For the activity, everyone had just 20 second to say what part of the car was, and just the 3 fastest competitor could pass to the third and las step. No one knew which the activity was, everytime the festival was celebrated the third activity changed. Jack was very nervous, but his opponents were not. This was the first time that Jack participates in this festival, and the others not. The one of the jury get a microphone and said: -For the las activity, everyone have to drive in a race-. People was so excited. The desert is usually used for the velocity tests, and the competitors would use all their knowledge and ability to do it as best as the could. The jury selected 3 of the same cars for the race, everyone had its own car and the same joggi track to do it. The adrenalin traveled through Jacks’ veins. The green light shined and the race started. At the end, the winner was Jack and the prize was not also trophy, a car was included in the prize. In that way Jack could have what he always wanted. The end.

My thesis project During a couple of weeks, I have been thinking about an idea for my thesis project, but nothing comes to my mind. I am studying a bachelor's in teaching English, and of course the project has to do with that. while I was thinking about it, it also comes to my mind the written characteristics, and I do not have a very good level n written skills to write a thesis. Keeping this in mind, I have decided to start practicing and improving as much as I could because if I get an idea for my project I would not know how to write about it. So, let's start. I am also a musician and I want something related to that in my project, I have though in musical strategies to develop the second language skills in learners, but that is very hard. There are some studies about the topic, but that is too difficult for me to make something related to it yet. Another idea came to my mind while I was writing this. It could be "How to use the likes of someone to increase the language learning?" This semester I am taking a course called "Language acquisition", and the most recent topic is "Learning Styles" which makes me think about how every person learns. So, the correct use of the likes of the students can result in a better learning process. I am going to continue thinking about that, but now I will be practicing very much my writing skills. Thank you to the person or the people that correct my mistakes, I appreciate it too much.

A new experience at the university There is a club in the university where I study and its name is The Babbling Club. That is a place in which the main goal is to improve the language skills in English, it is especially focused on speaking. I have been going there for 3 weeks, and the experience is awesome. The first day I was very shy about the idea of taking because there were some students from higher semesters than mine so they speak very good and fast, and I felt some fear. But I have started talking more during the sections and practicing very much. Now I feel more confortable when I speak due to the fact that they made me feel that it was okay to make mistakes, that is a part of learning a new language, so I am more talkative now. My language skills have improve very much, more the listening than the speaking, but I have noticed a change in my English. That experience makes me feel very good and happy because I am developing my second language. I am going to continue going to the sections of the club and improve as much a I could.

Does grammar matter? 1. Can you think of any ways or situations in which prescriptivism is unhelpful? 2. Spoken and written language use different patterns for organizing words. Do you think that (monolingual) speakers and writers operate with two completely different grammars, or would you say that they have one single grammar system which contains different word patterns whose frequencies differ in spoken and written forms of that language? Why? 3. Grammar is a set of recurrent word patterns that helps speakers and writers to both understand and express concepts. What are some of the ways in which grammar tells us something about how we think? I do not imagine a situation where prescriptivism is unhelpful. It is perfect when someone wants to talk to other who uses the language in a different way. Prescriptivism helps making the language understandable to everyone. When you travel to another country where the same language that you speak is spoken, you try to be as clear as possible. The culture and the way of using the language there is different. So, if you talk very simple and use basic patterns, there are high possibilities of transmitting the message well. Monolingual speakers and writers operate with the same patterns of grammar, but it varies on content, vocabulary, etc. Let me explain this with a famous adage: “You speak different from how you write”, that means that at the moment of writing, the linguistic point of view changes. There are patterns very simple of the language, and are tented to be used in common conversations. In the other hand, a more complex and formal way of using the language is used in the writing cases; as a result of being as best as possible on a litrerarial form. To clarify, there are some exceptions. One of those is the fact of omitting some grammatical rules when you talk with friends and family, because it is almost more important the message than how you say it. Another example is when you write an academic text. You are looking for show that you have very good grammatical skils; so, you use the language in the better way how it can be used. The language is a way of seing the world. Grammar tell us how we thing depending of how we use it. If we use complex patterns of words, and we have a very extensive vocabulary, grammar could say that we are very analytical. That means that we do not see the world how it looks like, we see it as deeper as we could. Besides, if you talk “Parlache” the situation is completely the opposite

To reduce the violence against the LGBT community Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans, All the community LGBT. All my community. Around 10% of the people that belong to this community do not suffer bullying or violence around them, but the other 90% of the people do. We suffer bad comments, on the street, schools, all the places, and also in our houses, but WHY? why do we suffer all those kinds of violence? we are no different, we are humans too. I spoke with some friends about their experiences in their house when they come out, and is very impacting that only 1 of 7 people was accepted in her house, all of us was accepted too, but the rest of us (the last 6 people) had to go through a lot of situations before being accepted. This impacted me and made me realize about how big the problem is, not only for me, it happens for almost all the people in the community. I was thinking about this topic and there is something very controversial. Homophobic people do not treat a person in a bad way when they thing that the person is heterosexual. but when people decide to express what they are, those homophobic people treat them bad. what has changed about that people? and that is something that people do not understand. Around the world, what the religion says is the only true. A lot of people is being sacrificed, hit, in general terms treat as trash, and the only argument of homophobic is: “Because god said that”. They do not have real argument about their acts. But that is something we could change. We can show to the homophobic people that we are not different. being homosexual does not mean that if you touch me you will get a venereal diseases, you are not going to hell if you are in the same classroom with me. We are not bad people, we are humans too, with feelings, a brain, skin, hair, all you have I have it too. I want to invite all the people to think about it, you can help me to change this reality.If you ask to an homophobic person Why do you hate homosexuals? I can tell you that that person will have no arguments. Times are changing and you can change it with me. You can share this information to all that people, and make them realize that we are very normal people, the only difference is that we do not love the people from the different sex. It is just a like, the same situation if I chose a chocolate ice-cream and another person a vanilla ice-cream, the likes are different, but we are the same people. Thank you I have to present a speech tomorrow, if you can help me to improve it I'll love it. :)

In the English class We have been looking the pasive voice and the perfect times, that is a little difficult and I am going to write a little story tring to use the pasive voice to practice it :) Once upon a time, a kid had bought a flute, and the flute was played every day for the kid, but it did not have a good sound, because the kid had not taken a instrument class until a month after the flute was bought. Five years ago, the kid had become in to an excelent fluter, and the flute that was bought some years ago currently has a beautifull sound that it got by a daily practice. Except for Sundays, because that days has been days of be in bed watching films and series on Netflix haha. The end.
