MY ARTDOSSIER

My classmate Jordi Peivon at the beginning of the course left me two reading books to read at home. The truth is that they have been very useful to me because they are short and I have learned several expressions and vocabulary that I did not know before. With reading we can learn to write better, to internalize grammatical structures or phrases to be able to apply them in any context or topic that we want to speak or write. I think that you have to start with simpler and shorter books to gradually acquire a higher level and be able to face books with more pages and each time of greater difficulty. I recommend that you spend time reading books that interest you and are entertaining. Here you have the titles of the books with the cover of each of them. - The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) - Dead Man's Island (John Escott)

  Today I have decided to watch cartoons in English because I think it is an easier way to get used to hearing English and to understand what the characters are saying. I think that I should start with the most basic and as I understand it, I will increase the level of the conversations. Cartoons are an entertaining way to learn English, you can learn many expressions that are said every day. Being simple and short sentences I can focus more on the pronunciation of words and I can gradually acquire the grammatical structures of the sentences, I can learn them better. Below I am going to share different cartoons that I have seen and that have been good for me to learn more expressions and vocabulary in English. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOrU2-evY48&t=663s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdlLsxR5AE0&t=675s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAPfI9qsOF8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzmkBQAHp5Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf2Y4vABB8I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN...

Today I have been looking for information on online newspapers that exist in English both in the United States and in England. I have entered several of them and I have been reading news to get used to reading texts in English and thus be able to acquire more grammar and vocabulary. I think reading is a good method to begin to better understand the language and acquire the syntactic structures and vocabulary necessary to elaborate a sentence. Below I am going to share links where I have found the different English newspapers so that you can read them too. Reading the news in the newspapers can also serve to have updated information on what is happening in those countries or in another part of the world and to be more connected with the reality that surrounds us. I hope you can learn many things by reading the different news. https://elestudiantedigital.com/periodicos-en-ingles-online/ http://www.saberingles.com.ar/newspapers.html https://whatsup.es/blog/periodicos-en-ingles-como-usarlo...

  Today I have thought about watching videos in English related to museums in the world. I think that watching these types of videos is an entertaining way to learn English and to learn more about the resources we have in the world. Museums are often useful to learn English because you can take a guide who speaks to you in English and that way you learn much more. The fact of traveling helps a lot to improve the language, but as it is now difficult to travel, I am satisfied with being able to see videos of the museums there are and listen to a little explanation about them. I encourage you to discover what interesting museums there are in the world. Here are the links to access these videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRN8jVqWcqI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcTqaCwBBcQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J3nEoyQfE0 I have also found some cartoons about visiting a museum in case you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHo928fd2wE

  Today I have found different resources to read books and stories online. I think that reading can be very useful to acquire the grammatical structures of sentences, it can help us to know how to make sentences for ourselves. The more we practice reading, the better we remember how sentences are made. That is why it is important to get used to reading different texts. I have found stories for children and also for adults to be able to improve the level little by little. I have also found stories on YouTube so that we can also practice listening comprehension and pay attention to the pronunciation of words. Below I attach several links so that you can practice reading! I encourage you to do it, it is a first step to improve in the language! https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/general-english/stories https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/short-stories https://www.englishclub.com/reading/short-stories.htm https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=english+stories https://...

Today I have decided to start making my personal diary. In order to practice writing and improve it, I have thought that it is best to start writing simple texts about things that happen to me in my day to day life. I have also talked with my teacher Elaine to practice making sentences and speaking aloud what she thinks about something or talks about what I am going to do now or what she says before. So in this way I also put into practice the tenses and also learn new vocabulary. I think it's a good way to start to become more familiar with English and to improve little by little. I encourage you to try it! It can be fun and an entertaining and natural way to learn. What I am going to do is first write sentences by myself and then look for them in the translator to see if I have written them correctly or not. In this way, if I am wrong and see what things I have been wrong in, I can learn from my mistakes. This is the most effective way to improve in writing, learning from the thi...

This afternoon I visited the website of  https://www.ted.com/talks?sort=newest&language=en and I have been watching different conferences. It is interesting because it is an entertaining way to learn English, you practice listening comprehension and you also learn new knowledge about different topics. It is also a way to acquire new vocabulary and look at how the sentences are made to learn how the structure is. For me it is a good experience that I encourage you to do. You can look for topics that you like and thus you will pay more attention because it will be interesting to you and you will be able to learn English much better. I have also looked for lectures with English subtitles to make it easier to understand what they are saying. Below I attach the link so you can see them. https://www.ted.com/search?q=english+subtitles
