ENTRY ONE ---APOLIGIES---


ENTRY ZERO. PERSONAL REFLECTION



I consider that the English is very important for any aspect.

During the time, I have learned something about the English. It's fantastic. because I learned to spell words, sentences and the English alphabet using books and writing sentences, vocabulary and structures differents with help some teacher.

I have known new structures, words, vocabulary, etc., that I didn't know, but when I went to UNPA, I learned more over the use of each word, the pronunciation of some sentences, etc. In the UNPA, some teacher didn't give books only study copies and with some notes. When I was in Junior high always used books but almost I don't learned nothing, only some of vocabulary but was insufficient. In the Junior high was one teacher that if applied for give us material.

I consider that I have improved a little and need learn and know more somethings.

In this moment, I am with my thesis understand words, sentences.

For me, is important the English because learn, undertand, read, write, spell and know.

In the Erick's class I have understood the use the English but moreover I have analyzed each word, sentence, pronunciation that I don't understand. Are these classes were interesting because I learned to communicate even a little with the teacher. I want to practice more... I would exercise my pronunciation and writing.

Comments: There is that study more for learn and know more over the English use.
In the future, I want to read articles, books, news for undertand better. I want to prepare for have a job, a house, a family and traveling.

ENTRY ONE ---APOLIGIES---


Today is April 14th, 2010.

APOLIGIES...WHAT IS?

It's an expression of remorse or guiilt over having said or done something that is acknowledged to be hurtful or damaging, and a request for forgiveness.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but not everyone knows how to fix them properly.

I consider that an apology is meant to counteract an insult, to help undo the offense and restore harmony.

Apologies are linked to honor and face in several ways. When we feel someone owes us an apology, our honor prompts us to demand it.

The think that apology satisfies the needs of honor by helping to right the offense, and failured to deliver it can even be taken as a challenge.

When we are in the wrong ourselves, our own honor calls on us to make an apology.

The apology mens admitting that we were wrong and on that account losing face.

The apology helps to people to be sincere.


Example: When Tiziano Ferro speak bad of women Mexicans

He said that the all women Mexicans were mustaches. That offended some women and they were very upset with he. Women want that he don't comeback to Mèxico.

ENTRY TWO -**FUTURE CONTINUOS / FUTURE PERFECT**-




Today is April 6th, 2010.

In this day, We learned about of Future continuos and future perfect.

FUTURE CONTINUOS.Is this tense indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future.

Structure:(will be + verb-ing + present participle)

Examples:
1.- I will be watching Tv when she arrives tonight
2.- Luisa will be living in house of her mother when she has a job
3.- I will be doing something


FUTURE PERFECT. This tense, serves to express one future action which precedes a future or another future action.

Structure: (auxiliar--will + have + past participle)

Example:
1.- By 2012, I will have finish my degree
2.- By 2020, I will have my own house in Loma Bonita
3.- By 2011, I will have visit to México with my family and visit different pleaces

f) By 2020, the UNPA will have construted a rest area in the library while other guys study

Today is April 7th, 2010.

Use thee future perfect

The future perfect tense expresses action in the future before another action in the future. This is the past in the future. For example:

The train will leave the station at 9:00 am. You will arrive at the station at 9:15 am. When you arrive, the train will have left.

1) By the time I start my thesis, I will have finished my degree
2) By the time I get a employment, I will have worked a lot for help to my family
3) By the time I learn alot English, I will have traveled for different countries, and meet people new, read articles and books.
4) By the time I worked to help me, I won't finished my master's


Vocabulary: pill, landed, least, cool, tucked and borrowed.

Reflection: I consider that is very important the use of structures different for understand better. The use the future perfect and future continous help how speak the English and to pronounce better.
