Frodo's Mp3 Player

My favourite piece of technology is my Mp3 player. It's a Philips GoGear.
I got it 1 year and a half ago, I was joining(Ww) money to buy it because
the previous one didn't work. I use it like a Pen-Drive, I plug it in the PC
and I keep my favourite music and I listen(Sm) it in the bus. I use it
everyday( they{ every and day} should always go separately) because the music
is a good mate(Ww) in(Wp) the bus, because without music I go(Ww) boring(Wt) in(Wp) the bus. Also it have(Wf) radio, and I use it when there are(Wf) a match of Colo-Colo, because I don't have TV cable to watch the matches. I like it because it have(Wf) a sober design, because it have(Wf) a(Wf) RECHEARGABLE INTERNAL (Wo) battery, and THE MUSIC IS LISTENED(Nn+Ww) clearly. My life without my Mp3 player would be terrible because I couldn't listen to my music in the bus, my travel would be
boring and I would have to listen to reggaeton of "flaites"(flaites’) mobile phones... booooo!!!!!





Joining: you can join two pieces together, you can joing your friends for lunch( you go with them), you can also join a club.
Money: In this case... you can make money( make= earn), and sav money ( = keep or not spending your money, in order to have more and more money) .
You listen TO music - You hear a noise in the backyard.
The sound is clear could be an option.
“My travel would be boring”: I understand your point, but the word for that is COMMUTE= the journey between home and work/university.

Cindy`s Laptop

My favorite technology piece (Wo) is my notebook, (Sm) was a gift from my uncle for some time and (nn) a month ago to change my notebook for a more modern.
The notebook is used in the same way that a computer desktop, (sm)is smaller and its main adjective (Ww) is that it is a laptop computer.
I use my laptop computer all the time, when I'm in my house and when I leave. Besides(ww) using it in (Sm) university when I have to do another work. Also, I take them(Ww) when I travel, to have fun on the bus. My notebook is personal, but when I'm not at(Ww) my house, my niece also uses (sm) because (sm)is very entertaining game(p)and also that(nn) it can (sm)use(wt) this(nn) even when (Sm-2words-)in bed.
I like my notebook that (ww) is very entertaining and practical. With the Internet (Sm) can browse through and (nn) where I want when I want. Besides I have no problems in my house to occupy(ww) the computer desktop when my family also has to work. It's much more comfortable than my old computer and has more memory capacity and (sm )more rapidly (We).
I believe that my life would be different without my notebook, and happen(Ww) much more time at(ww) my house. I think that with my notebook my life has more freedom.

Let’s recap... do you remember the story’s plot?
(Previous post)
“A Kestrel for a knave” is a book about Billy, a young boy who lives in a humble home with his bully brother, and unconcerned mother. Unfortunately, Billy’s school doesn’t make his life any easier, most of his teachers don’t understand him, and instead of helping the boy, they reprimand him frequently. Even though suffering both physical and emotional mistreatment, there is hope in Billy’s life when he finds a hawk up in a nest. He takes care of it, and even goes to a library to find a book to read about Hawks in order to know how to treat them right. Billy’s expectations were to train this hawk, and he really manages to do so. So we can infer that it is the hawk that brings light to his life, perhaps a new meaning for it. Ironically, he becomes more attached to “Kes” than he is for his mother and Jud.








Well, the story itself wasn’t so much about encouraging Billy to have a better life nor to increase and develop his self-confidence and self-esteem. So, by the end of the story it doesn’t get any better. Billy makes a mistake by not betting to the horses Jud had asked him to bet for. Why? Billy innocently thought the horses wouldn’t win, so instead he used the money for buying food for “kES”. As far as I know, Jud was not known for his serenity, that is why I was not surprised of what he did. Jud took revenge on his brother for making him loose money by killing “Kes”.
As soon as Billy finds out, he is devastated; the one thing he felt passionate about was gone. Then, when he is going to bury Kes, he goes to Mr. Farthing’s house to tell him the news. He had always been nice to him, and he showed interest when finding out about his hawk, so he felt he needed to be in the burial. The teacher is really upset that Jud would have done such an atrocity, I suddenly he closes his eyes. Later on, Mr. Farthing tells Billy there is something he can do, he had studied dark magic west of North of Scotland and he knew what to do in order to make Kes return to life. Billy was astonished and listened to his teacher’s plan: they would bring back Kes and then he would take both of them out of the country. Moreover, Billy didn’t like to live with his family anyway and they would think he had run away from home. Mr. Farthing takes Kes into his basement and starts reading his spells. Billy was astonished when he realizes that after 10 minutes his companion started to move and open his eyes. He felt alive again; no one would drift them apart again. Mr. Farthing was really tired, so he went to bed and let them stay. The next morning they got up, made the bags and set to a new adventure in
Wales.

My “error correction” experience has been quite a slow process, I must say. Why? It has been tricky to discriminate whether a mistake is either word form, word tense, etc… When correcting U.Chile`s students I firstly thought I had to be very strict when revising. But later on, I realized that even though their words could be more specific and sophisticated, it was more important to understand their message. So, in that way has been useful, since I’m flexible to different styles of writing too. Furthermore, I believe it will be beneficial for them `cause they will receive feedback which contains the corrections they need… we are not so focused on correcting every single error, but revising what interferes the understanding of their message.

My worst nightmare ever, mathematics…. I studied it during my entire school education. It was not until high school that I really started hating it, why? I guess I could not keep up with all the numbers (P) and rules to do the exercises. Just talking about it makes me feel a tiny bit upset. When I finished high school I thought it was over, I didn’t have to handle that should-not-be-named subject anymore. However, I was not so lucky and when I (Ww= started) came university I was told I would have a semester of it. When I took the subject I have to admit that I almost failed it. At least, It is over for now.
