Narratives

Hi there!

Today I have two narratives to show you that I did last week in school. One is wrote with a classmate and it's invented and the other I wrote it myself and it's a real experience. The blue words/phrases are narrative time expressions.

Narrative 1

The Rollercoaster

an interesting experience

I think one of the worst experiences of my life was when we were on top of a rollercoaster and it stopped.

Two friends, Joel and Giovanna, and I wanted to go on holiday together. We decided to go to PortAventura for the weekend. We took the bus at Girona's station at six o'clock on Friday. We arrived two hours later. We were so excited. We thought it would be a good day. Next day we woke up and went to have a breakfast. First we went to China to see a show. We really liked it. Next we went to Mexico, and later to China again.

We were really excited about going to Shambala, the tallest rollercoaster in Europe. When we were on the top of the rollercoaster, it stopped! We were really scared, screaming and with a lot of panic! Finally a few men fixed the rollercoaster. I have to say I didn't enjoy the ride at all!

A good day became the worst day of our life! We went home with the fear inside our bodies.

Narrative 2

An Experience Under the Rain

an adventure

A few years ago, I think I was nine or ten years old, i went to a friend's house. We were my sister, four friends and I, and we decided to go to explore the forest which was near the house.

We took our bicycles and cycled to the forest. We were riding into the forest going nowhere, feeling excited and feeling like a group of teenagers, like those who are on films and series.

We looked up in the sky and it was very dar. It was going to rain. A few moments later it started raining. We continued riding our bicycles, and then we found a little house and we wanted to enter because it was abandoned. one of us, I can't remember who, entered and ran out very fast. We saw what was inside. Very enormous rats! We took our bicycles and rode so fast.

Some minutes later we didn't know where to go. We were lost in the forest under the rain! We felt very anxious and with panic. We didn't know what to do.

Later one of us proposed to say out loud if we remembered the trees or something. In the end we found our friend's house after a long time lost in the forest. We ere punished by our respective parents.

New Beginnings

Hi there!

I know it's October but.. let's start a new school year here in M's English Blog!

I hope I'll upload the blog often and help you at least a little bit in English. I have some new categories for the blog and maybe I'll change the appearance of the blog. In fact, I've changed the logo of the M's English Tips category and I created one for the writing category, you can see them down below. New beginnings are good, stay tuned!

Elsa App

Hi there!

As you can see, today I bring a brand new tip to you! A couple of days ago I went to different countries which do not speak Spanish and I had to speak in English, so here's a tip to speak English more correctly for this summer (and always)!

*This is not a collaboration or an ad*

The app that I'm talking about is Elsa (yeah, like Elsa of Frozen). 

First, you get a little explanation about Elsa.Then you have to put your name and your native language.

It works really easy. Elsa records your voice and then she says if it's good, wrong or not that wrong. In the image above nervous and hurts were the words that I had to pronounce correctly and they are in green because I did it well.

But if you pronounce it wrong the word turns red, and if you do it regularly it turns yellow.

When you pass it this appears:

 

It's the mark about how good you are. Then you enter to a menu that has three sections: travel, business and love. In there you have sentences about each section.

But what I really like about this app is the option to put the word you want to know its correct pronunciation and if you do it correctly!

I repeat, this is not a collaboration or an ad! All the screenshots are mine and everything I've said is my opinion!

M presents: M's English Tips

Hi there!

Today I'm going to present you the logo of one of the categories on my blog, the tips. I called the category: M's English Tips. So, every time you see the logo, you will know that is a tip! And the image will redirect you to a page that shows all the tips.

I think I'm going to do another for the Writing category and for new ones.

A Formal Letter

Hi there!

The other day our teacher explained us how to do a formal letter  and then we had to do one. I did it with another girl. 

*This formal letter is completely invented, the directions, the country, the logo, the company, the names, the signatures, all!*

Dear Sir or Madam,

We represent a group called The Green Lovers. We are writing to you because we want to protest against your idea of selling the land of the Ravenclaw's Park and build a motorway.

In our opinion, motorways are dangerous because they pollute and they have the possibility of burning. If you wipe out the park, a lot of kids that used to enjoy it will be unhappy, and the animals will die if they don't find their homes in the park. On the other hand, our organization fights for preserving the nature in our town so if you build a motorway it won't be as aesthetically as the park.

We have therefore decided to take action and we are going to organize a protest and collect signatures of the population. For this reason we hope that you change your opinion and preserve the Ravenclaw's Park.

Yours faithfully,

Annelies S,     Sandre P

Group Coordinators.

The Green Lovers.    

        

Opinion Essay- Mixed School

Hi there!

Here's another opinion essay, this time I didn't write this alone, I wrote with another three people. I repeat, sorry if my opinion offends someone, it is not my intention.

As usual we did a brainstorming:

  -BRAINSTORMING-

Opinion: We are in favor of mixed school.

Reasons: 1. Both have to understand and relate with each other.

               2. Mixed school help to understand that boys and girls aren't that different.

               3.At the end, out of school, we have to work together.

Conclusion: It's good that boys and girls share the classroom.

-OPINION-

Some people say that single sex schools are better for both sexes but other people say that mixed school are better. We agree with the second view for many reasons:

To begin with, boys and girls have to understand and learn to relate to each other, in a single sex school that's impossible. Also mixed schools help to understand that boys and girls aren't that different. Finally, out of school, we have to work together, we have to learn to coexist.

In conclusion both sexes should share the classroom for a better understanding of each other. 

UK vs US Spelling

Hi there!
The other day in class, our teacher showed us the difference between some UK and US words. For this reason I searched images and here are two related to the topic. *The images are not mine*

Opinion Essay- Watching too much TV

Hi there!

Here's my first writing, an opinion essay, that I did a couple of weeks ago. My teacher helped me a little bit correcting the things that I did wrong. Sorry if my opinion offends someone, it is not my intention.

For this Opinion Essay, my teacher gave me a phrase and I have had to write what I think about.

So, first of all, I did a brainstorming (That I have copied down below) and then with my clearer opinions and helping myself with the brainstorming I started writing. 

OPINION   ESSAY

"It is often said that watching too much television makes people stupid" Do you agree? 

·BRAINSTORMING

→Opinion: Watching too much the television makes people stupid.

→Reasons:

1     .     If the teenagers watch a lot TV they don’t have enough time to study/do homework.

2     .     Most of people watch the TV for entertaining not for learning and they watch programs of comedy or of people fighting for no reasons.

3     .     After a couple of hours or less the view is tired and you can have problems about it.

→In conclusion:

1.     There are more bad reasons of watching too much the TV that good.

2.     We can spend more time doing positive/productive things that watching TV.

.OPINION

Researches say that in Spain we watch TV four hours per day; others say that watching the TV more than three hours per day, the risk of death raises.

In my opinion, watching the television makes people more stupid. I think that a lot of parents say this, but the reason is not only because of TV, the problem is the parents, that buy TVs for their children’s rooms, or they give permission to their kids to watch the television too much. Do you agree with my opinion? If you’re not sure, here are three reasons why I think that way.

First of all, most of the people watch TV for entertaining not for learning and they watch programs of comedy or of people fighting for no reasons, and they waste their time. Moreover if we concentrate in teenagers, a lot of them watch TV and they don’t study or do their homework. Lastly I have to say that after a couple of hours or less, the sight is tired and you can have problems about it.

In conclusion, there are more bad reasons of watching too much TV; and of course the time we spend watching it takes us time to do other interesting things such as reading, running… positive and productive things.
