One Way or Another

Hi all! Today we have 2 topics and you have to write about only 1 of them. So you'll have to decide which one!

I could say lots of things about any of them, but I want to know what you have to say about them, so please, write on!!

But first you have to choose a topic, of course. They are:

Option 1 (Instructions).

Write about a career-related website that you enjoy visiting.

You should:

- provide a link

- describe the website (sections, features,etc)

- say how often you visit the site

- explain why you like the site.

* Add comments to at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs

* Word Count: 180 - 200

For example, I could write about this website, which is my favourite career-related website. Its name is howjsay.com (it's a great website!! Check it out ;))

Option 2 (Instructions)

Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?

Say:

-Who she/he is.(short biography)

-What she/he has done. (examples of their work)
-Why you like her/him.-Include his/her image

* Add comments to at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs

* About 180 -200 words please

Here I could write about Chomsky, my favourite linguist/intellectual in the world.

And this is probably his best interview ever!

Music is My Radar

Music means a lot to me. If it weren't for music I wouldn't be here writing in English, I wouldn't be the person I am... Who knows where I would be if I hadn't discovered music 16 years ago.

When I first started listening to the music I like now I was 13 years old. Back then I discovered my first favourite band, and they are still one of my faves. I remember I used to listen to them every morning and, as we only had one radio at home, everyone was obliged to listen to them too. That's the reason why my parents and sisters at home know them so well and like them too, even when back then they used to complain because I would take over the radio and wouldn't let anyone else listen to other music at all. They hated me, but I didn't mind.

Anyway, I guess you voted 'music' because it means something to you too, so that's what this week's post is going to be about.

What you have to do is write about Music and how it affects your life.

You could mention:

- What music means to you.

- When you first started listening to the music you like.

- Why you like it/What it makes you feel.

- Your favourite band/musician/singer/album/genre.

- Who first introduced you to your favourite band/singer.

- etc...

In this post you MUST:

- Write 120-150 words.

- Include a photo or video of your favourite band/singer/musician.

- Comment on 3 of your classmates' posts.
