We talked about the term "Mexican - American" and terms that people in other countries to discriminate and then we made questions to ask our guest the next March 3rd, we did it in teams. My team was Alex and here are the questions we made.

1) Can you tell us an exciting experience that you lived in the USA?
2) Are you interested in your parents culture?
3) Can you tell us about an American custom/tradition that you don't like?

Then we saw videos of people who lived in other countries but his/her parents were born in other country.

Floe-joe quizzes and Sixth Sense

February 17th, 2017, February 20th, 2017 and February 21th, 2017.

These days we did floe-joe's quizzes www.flo-joe.co.uk and in the first two days of the activity I got low notes but in the last day I got 10 out of 12 and I was very happy.

Here is a video of what CEFR is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAehOcVfr3Y

When we finished the simulation we read Sixth Sense's transcript. It was very interesting to me because I have never read a transcript of a movie and as the teacher says it give you plenty of information that in the movie sometimes lost. I learn new vocabulary. In my opinion Sixth Sense is the best movie of M. Night Shyamalan.

Here is the transcript http://www.lexwilliford.com/Workshops/Screenwriting/Scripts/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Scripts/Sixth%20Sense.pdf

A Story I Wrote.

At the beginnig of the class of February 7th the teacher asked us to deliver our homework, but, I missed the class of February 6th, so I wrote this. I need to practice a lot.

The teacher talked us about Lang8 that is an app where you post something and a native speaker corrects your mistakes.

Culture Shock

February 9th, 2017

We talked about culture shock that is, essentialy, the feeling of confusion someone has when they go to a new and very different place.

And then we talked about some experiences related with this topic in teams of four persons and then we chose one experience.

In my team we chose Alex's experience and we wrote it in a piece of paper and delivered to the teacher and he corrected our mistakes.

Here is a photo of our work.

I searched on YouTube about Culture shock and I found this video that explains very clear what is Culture Shock. The video belongs to rewboss channel.

In this day we remembered the concepts of "Be used to" and "get used to".

As I understand "Be Used To" is an expression to say that you are accustomed to do something and "Get Used To" is an expression that you are accustomed to doing something, is like "in transition"

And we did the next examples in class.

Note: The sentences in purple  are in the "Be used to" estructure. The sentences in blue are in "Get Used to" estructure.

I got used to shaving every week.
(Now) I am used to shaving every day.

I got used to driving a lot a moth ago.
(Now) I am used to driving only if I must.

I got used to studying English two years ago.
(No) I am used to studying English three days a week.

I got used to talking a lot with my friends at "Las Vegas".
(Now) I am used to talking to myself.

I got used to visiting my grandparents every week.
Nowadays, I am used to visiting my grandparents every moth.

A hilarous video

During the last vacations I saw Breaking Bad that is a series about a chemist teacher that have cancer.
I liked the series, not a lot, but is a good series.

One of the most amazing things of the series is the admirable performance of the character of Bryan Cranston (Walter White).

I think Bryan Cranston's job surprised me a lot because when I was a child I used to see "Malcolm in the Middle" and in that series Cranston's develop a character similar as Breaking Bad, I mean, a father of a family but in "Malcom in the Middle" the character is not "strong" enough and it not change like Walter White did in Breaking Bad.

So, because I loved the job of Cranston I searched on YouTube about him and I found this video of Jimmy Kimmel Live channel.

This video is about Bryan Cranston's 60 year old party and it is a parody of "My Super Sweet Sixteen" that was a MTV reality show.

Some parts were difficult to understand but whit the context is  easier to get the ideas of the video.

Please suscribe to Jimmy Kimmel Live channel on YouTube.

I hope you to enjoy the video!
