My first Assessment after a couple of years.


Well, here I am doing my duties. :)

Drawing from your observation notes and sentences from Journal Writing Assignments 1 and 2, write a description of the scene you have observed. Use action verbs and active voice in your sentences. Also, keep your verbs in the same tense and maintain correct subject-verb agreement. Your description should consist of 8 or more sentences. 

(1) Yesterday, I went to the bank. (2)The first thing I did was to pick my turn from the machine. (3) On my way to the line, (4) my cellphone rang so loudly that (5) I just turned it off to avoid any disturbance. (6) After that embarrassing moment, (7) the girl next to me started talking with his boyfriend a bunch of silly things that (8) I preferred to took a magazine and (9) read it carefully in order to stop listening their conversation.

(10) After 15 minutes of too much patient, (11) my wait in the line was over and (12)I moved straight right to the cashier. (13) I made one deposit and (14)the cashier gave me a big smile.

What u think?

Week 3, Module 2 Writing Activity

Now let´s do the activity for Module 2.
In your journal, continue your observation list of the scene you observed for Unit 3, Journal Assignment 1 by noting several vivid action verbs. Revise some of your sentences using action verbs and/or write 2-3 new sentences with action verbs. Try not to use any of the forms of “to be” (is, are, was, etc.).  Underline the action verbs in your sentences. Again, you will want to keep all of these sentences at hand as you do the peer reviewed writing at the end of the unit.

The coins dropped into the trash.
Alex walk near to me.
Today my boss told me to change my password.
After receive the prize.
The dog wear a nice T-shirt.

Week 3, Module 1 Writing Activity

Hello guys!

I know, I know, this post is a little bit late (actually too late) but here you have my activity.

Observe a scene, preferably in a crowded, busy, or public place. List the activities that you see occurring and the actors (those doing the activity). Write 5-6 sentences that use your observation list and underline the subjects of your sentences. Write a few sentences experimenting with using different types of pronouns from the tables in Unit 3.  You will want to keep all of these sentences at hand as you do the writing activities for this unit. 

I am reading the latest tweets in my cellphone.
She was the last one in the line.
These people are upset.
Your turn will be till the next hour.
Whose is this wallet?
None of these kids have a traditional toy.
Everything is a mess.
Waiting till the next cashier.
To play with the next one hair.

What you think?

Good grammar?
Can you guess where I am?

Why this blog?

To all,

I'm writing in this blog for various reasons.

I'm going to write down some of them:

- To let the world about my existence.
- To take lots of photos from my travels and share it with all of you.
- To practice the exercises from my online course.

By now, those reasons are the key reasons to write into this blog.

:)

My very first!

Hello to all!

If I have lucky this post will be read by 1 person. :(

But probably no one will. :(
