Tasks

Hi!! how are you doing? ... again...

Here is the place where you have to check in order to continuosly know what tasks do you have to do.

In this section you may find new activities every now and then you have to make as much as possible of them , you are not required to make all the tasks, but if you are able to it would be great for your apprenticeship, if you have any doubt or commentary you only have to let me know. For instance, leaving commentaries at the bottom of my entries, which is my recommendation.

A you may see the text in these devices get corrected by itself which greatly facilitates your writing, you may use it as you please. However I would like to know if you use it and how often.

Click here to see my first presentation!!

First of all my name is Paul Brown and as you may know this is a fictional name, doing this I am trying to tell you to do the same because you may never know who is watching your personal information and in order to be safe, I advise you to use fictional information intead.

Have do you practiced with the composition of blogs... go and try right now if you find that by the time you make your first task you do not handle blogs please contact me as you want but I suggest you to leave a commentary at the bottom of this post, ok??

Nevertheless, I want you to use the blogs to make your tasks, each of you have already an id in the social network and also a blog has been assigned to all of you, now you only have to practice for a while with your blog and the social network.

Go and try...

Here we will start our planning...

OK, the first activity is to tell me who are you and what do you expect of this class. You can invent your own story you do not have to be accurate. Please be honest and write by yourself do not use any kind of translation tool or dictionary at least this time OK??

What I want from you is to make a presentation on yourself. You may to want to use fictional information which I strongly recommend. I want you to make commentaries on diverse aspects such as what do you like? do you have pets? and all of these kind of information.
After you present yourself I want to to tell me why do you think that to learn English is good for?

And finally comment on your expectations during the course. I will love to have your own commentaries without using translators or any other help. You may use all those tools after this first task but it is very important that you carry this one by yourself in order to evaluate your previous level of English.

It would be great if you write from 5 to 10 lines on your commentary.

I am waiting for your tasks... this is me

Nice to meet you all...

After I have revised all your paperwork I will say that you are such an interesting group, I think that after we some how know each other, I want you to present yourself but know on a different format. I now want you to make either a video or a audio file with your presentation, that means that you may chose whatever you want to record yourself on a tape or if you have a video camera try to record whatever while you are presenting yourself. Here is an example made by me and uploaded in youtube.

If you do not feel comfortable using English you may want to use this application carryouttext where you can transform any .txt file into a mp3 one. Then added to a video or a picture and that is all.

I want you to do somehow the same as I have done but you may use whatever sources you want to.
