Blog session #5: A PHOTOGRAPH YOU LIKE

Say:

Who took it

When it was taken
Why you like it
Upload it too

Hello dear survivors of the English course, today's blog session is about a picture of you. Well, I already added a picture of myself and I hope you like it.

I'm going to tell you more about the picture. I think you all know where the photo was taken, yes!! It's our beautiful London. For someone like me, I mean a Teacher of English, being there is like a dream came true. I really like this picture, because as a said it's in London and also because it was one of my first travels in Europe.

This photo was taken back in 2010, a long time ago, but every time I see this picture is like being there once again. It was the first day, I have just arrived from Sweden and I think it was past midnight. Well, after a long journey, by taxi, from the airport to the hostel a friend of mine took this photo. The taxi cost at least £150, which is equivalent to $97.000, so you can imagine how I felt when the taxi driver told me how much I had to pay. After this photo was taken, I went to grab something to eat because I haven't eaten anything at that moment and luckily I found a good and cheap place.

I chose this picture because it reminds me that dreams come true, and if you work hard and put a lot of effort in achieving what you want, you will get your reward in the future.


Now, I'm planning to go on a long journey to England again, but this time I'm going to live there for a while and study at one of the best Unis in the world, so I think I'll have to repeat this photo!! :)

Themed/Free Post 1: "Your favourite song / album"

Hello dear students, in today's blog session I'm going to express my thoughts about one of my favourite albums. This album is called "Vientos Modernos" and belongs to the Chilean Hardcore punk group of music "S.I.A". This album was released in 2003 and it was one of the best sellers’ albums in those years.

When I first listened to this album I felt quite motivated, because of songs' rhythm and motivating but at the same time depressive lyrics. This work was the beginning of big changes in the music scene, as to the hardcore music is concerned.

This album reminds me of my adolescent years, in which with a bunch of friends used to go to these big "tocatas", and the whole idea was to have the most amazing time while listening to this kind of music. Another important thing about these events was that I always bumped into old friends or ex-girlfriends, and at the end of every “concert” we ended up being a huge group of people singing and jumping.

After twelve years, I continue to listen to the same music and every time I start listening to this specific album I fill myself with positive energies, happiness, and old good memories with friends, and of course my first love relationships.


Your written piece should include:

- The name of the song or album
- The name of the band / singer
- A little of background of the band / singer
- How did you feel when you first listened to it?
- Some positive / negative memories about this song / album
- Something more you want to add.
