Dear All: For Post 9,  we'll write about scenes we like. So for this post: In 190 words, WRITE ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE, BOOK, OR SERIES SCENE: Mention: - What the movie is about. - Who acts or directs the movie. - Brief outline of the scene and argument why you like it. Example: My favourite movie scene: I am a big fan of watching movies, I have watched many but I have a huge problem with my memory. It’s just I cannot remember any movie straight away!, I have to think it over to remember the plot, and this time has not been the exception and to write about my favourite movie scene, I’ve had to go over several movies so as to remember.

 Post 8 :  A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester Write about your favorite subject this term. Among others, include: > Name > Describe what you do in classes > Mention the main contents you have seen > Explain why you like the subject > Word Count: 180 > Make comments on 3 of your patners' posts and on your Teacher's. As a child, I really liked studying but I honestly disliked going to school because I felt I couldn't learn much and I used to see the institution with remorse for being more than a school, a jail to me. I also disliked the type of things we had to learn, but all in all, I started to really enjoy a class where we had to use tools to build pieces of furniture, small robotic devices, etc.  The class does not exist in the school system anymore, it was called "Técnico Manual" I remember the biggest challenge when I decided to work with metal and welding tools. It was just great! I

The topic for this post is as it follows: Sexism Shown in a Fiction Character that I Love.     Say:   - Which the character is and a little about his/her history. ·         - How you got to know them. ·         - How you think any kind of gender violence is depicted in the character, either in their personality, attitudes and/or relationships with other characters ·         - Exemplify (video, picture, gif, etc) Write your Post in 160 words. Comment on your teacher's post and 3 of your classmates’ blogs.    The Simpsons is Sexist! This topic has been one of the topics I’ve needed to think over because it is undeniable that to be critical with one’s likes and preferences might be a bit hard due to the small amount of reflection we are required to do upon our own preferences, but finally, after all the many thoughts involved I got to the conclusion that a good example of a sexist fictional character I love would be the famous yellow American famil

I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic and alternative side of the city. This picture is a portrait of the memories I have from my best holiday ever, and even though I haven’t had many superb holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more than anything else, I have had some memorable ones. It was the year 2008, if I don’t remember incorrectly; and I was under big stress because I had had several problems at my job. Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place I used to work for and they told me
