POST 3: MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY



As you can imagine, my favorite a piece of technology is not just the iPad. Although it has helped me to give my classes because I have all my course books with me in the same place and I just need to connect to the data show to project the class book and material for the lessons. Some years ago, I had to carry the books which was very uncomfortable, and depending of the books, it was a heavy load. The good thing of iPads is we can connect them to the wi-fi everywhere we are, they are light, easy to carry in your bags and you can store lots of information. Unfortunately, they are very expensive!!  However, there are tons of machines that are technology as well as the mechanisms in the photo. What about you?? Today I invite you to write about your favourite  piece of technology.


Say:
- What it is.
- When you got it.
- How you use it.
- How often you use it.
- Why you like it.
- What life would be like without it. 

Remember to write minimum 130 words, upload a picture and comment on your teacher's post and 3 of your classmate' blogs!!

POST 2: Why did you choose this career/study programme?


Hullo everyone!, today you'll have to write about the reasons you had to choose Psychology as your present career. I chose English because I was good at languages at high school but I found that English was just a part of my studies, I had to study literature and linguistics, areas that complemented the language studies. Of course I always wanted to be a teacher, so there were so many different reasons to choose English Teaching as my career. I wanted to understand the literature written in English from the original texts, not the translations. Besides, I used to listen to classic rock bands and they were an inspiration, a kind of challenge for me to understand the lyrics, what they said in the interviews.

In your post you must write about:

- your dream jobs when you were a child
- other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university
- what made you decide in the end
- your experience at university until now
- the kind of job you would like to have
- word count: 130 words
- don't forget to leave comments on 3 of your classmates posts and on your teacher's post as well.
