Hi everybody!!
I'm Rafael and welcome to my blog!!!
Well, this blog is for us to interact with our classmates, with the intention of comunicate with each other in english and always learn more, making an exchange of knowlege.
I think I should post this poster of my favorite movie... I've learned a lot with it, because I awlays watched it with the subtitles in English. I think everybody should do it, it's such a great form of English learning.
I was just wondering: how can we make our English better?
There are moments we think that our English might be good... But it's just a matter of time until we hear a conversation, read a text or see anything that gives us a particular difficult, so we start to think "Oh, my English is not that good...". I guess it happens with the most (if not all) of us. The fact is: we should never think like that! We cannot accommodate ourselves and think that we are good the way we are: we must try to get better more and more.
There are several ways to increase our English abilities, such as: reading lyrics and listening to music, watching movies (especially with the subtitle in English), talking to our friends, writing texts, reading books, magazines or newspapers and much more. There is also another very interesting way to do it: the interchange, which is the most efficient and fastest way to learn more. Altough, it is the most expensive way to do it.
I must confess that in the bigining, I didn't like the idea of creating a blog. But know I think it's a great way to learn more with our colleagues, making a trade of knowledge, sharing things we know and doubts, in order to help each other. I think we must take advantage of all kind of source that provides us ways to learning... So, why not to do it?
I have just posted some interesting links beside. One of them is the well known Wikipedia. I think everybody knows it, but I think it's a great website, where we can find tons of information about almost everything, so I've decided to put it here. Along with it, there are two very interesting links about phonetics, an enormously important area in the English studies. I have found a text that discusses the importance of writing correctly in theese days, and it also shows how to make your text much better. There is also a link witch will lead you to a website that offers a program to encrease the abillity of writing. And finally, if you want to have a good time and test your knowledge in english, there's a quiz! I think it is very easy, but we can spend some time on it.
Well, that's all for now... I hope we can all increase our English with our blogs... Hugs^^
