Entry # 6: Essay 2

I am talking about all inventions and discoveries that the text exposes the advantages and risks that I think may happen . It is important to write about it because tecnology is not always positive thoug people think that yes. Also it has its advantages obviously that are a lot and in this article I am writing about it.

First space travel or exploration where were discovered a lot of things that are beneficious for the human race and explore other planets in search for more information about the origin and its structure. But its not always succesful because is achieved the objective and are spent billions of dollars for sending astronaut to space. Additionally the part of logistics and time invested in the investigation.

Second robots are another invention by scientists that contribute to our facilities. The sick or old people are benefited because in some countrys help this type of population with their basic needs. However it is not cheap its construction and is spent a lot of money, but not always the results are positive.

Third, genetic engineering is another important discovery that help and have the posibility of cloning. In this moment in animals even though it is not sure that in humans is being used. Also it is expensive and it not sucessful always and for me it is abnormal because its manipulating humans to explore and put the life at risk.

In conclusion this is a very important topic where the tecnology advances everyday and more inventions come to society. It can be positive or negative, I dont know but we need to be prepared for everything and help or contribute with tecnology and the disposition of investigation.

MUSIC

The music is other option for me, because helps improve the english and of course develop the ear. Thanks to music we can learn English quickly and funny. It's simple, just have to listen to our favorite songs in English and pay attention to those expressions do not know. It is also very useful to translate the songs to know the meaning of the vocabulary of the entire song.

On the other hand is important the speed of the pronunciation, I need stay ready and pay attention for understand. 

Examples:

• Hoobastank - The Reason
• Vertical Horizont - Everything you want 

In the next link I leave a song that could help. It is easy to listen and go slowly.

FUTURE PROBABILITY AND MODAL VERBS

This topic is very interesting for me because before I had understood that "will" is always used to refer to action in future. However, with practice, the active book and other sources I can see other words are used to refer to the same thing but have less chance of being realized.

Por example:

Use will when you talk about something that is denitive or with high probability to do.

Use could, might or may to talk about something possible but not definitive.

This are some resources or links where you can review and practice about this topic.

READING

For me is important the reading because you can see the verbals times and in this case identify past tenses or if there gerunds or infinitives. It is more easy that you read and understand the structure. In change, if you listen and you dont understand the grammar is very dificult know the verbal time.

In the next video you can see differents advantages of the reading and you can put in practice for learning english:

PAST TENSES

In my case this a topic a little dificult because I need identify the action and later the past tense that it subdivide in:

Simple past: describe the actions finished in past at order chronological.

Past continuos: describe actions in progress when something else happened.

Past perfect: describe actions complete before other events obviously in the past.

Past perfect continuos: describe actions that already in progress before the main events happened.

It is not easy, but there that pay attention in the form of sentences and the time in the past of this.

MOVIES

For me one form to learn or that I am trying apply always is watch the movies in english. Also are tools to help learn and listen in english or in this case on some phrases that help us remember grammar. As a first step is important read the subtitles in spanish and later en english  so as to learn and also observe some rules or short phrases that simplify the language. If you feeling more secure, the idea is remove the subtitles, pay attention and listen the pronunciation.

This are some resources or links where you can review and practice about this topic.

For example, here I leave you a link to trailer of my favorite movie with subtitles. I hope it serves in some form.

VERBS AND ADJECTIVES WITH PREPOSITIONS

Regarding to this topic is dificult because I wanted understand if there was a rule exactly for the conjugations. For example verb or adjective more preposition which were used with these prepositions, but I was reviewing and need it to learn the combinations for that can apply them to the sentences or what is I mean when you are talking. Is interesant because when you want said something like spanish is dificult, because in english is more short in some expresions and more easy too.

Examples:

Verb + preposition: succeed in, rely on

Adjetive + preposition: lacking in, nervous about
