Introduction

Welcome to my Blog !

Hello! I am Luz and I am going to show you my blog. In this blog You will find some texts that I have done during this semester. You can see paragraphs with different topics. 

So you are invited !

Prewriting

In this text, I did not have too much problems because It was checked before. First I did brainstorming, then organized my ideas, after that I did my prewriting too. In generally, I made mistakes of the punctuation.

Narrative work, draft and reflection

My Grandmother is an important person to me...

Personality description:

I can say about my Grandmother that she is very affectionate because she always says warm words and also she is very sensitive too because she always moves easily, especially when she shares moments with our family. She is very wise because she always give a good piece of advice for all the family. She is too responsible because she always makes with her duties.Sometimes she is hypocondriac because she worries about her health too much and she believes that she is sick but generally there is nothing with her health. She is very tidy and organized,  not only she keeps very clean her house. She is also cautious because she always is prepared to face up many situations that  it could be or become in difficult times.

Physically description:

My grandmother was born in 1941, despite her age, she keeps her physical attractive. She is short and plump, she has short, wavy brown hair, she has a thin face and thin eyebrows and very small narrow light brown eyes and small pointed nose and also she has light skin. Her mouth is small and her lips very thin. Generally, she wears blouse and a pair of pants because It is more confortable to her.

Reflection

I think that this text, It was not too much difficult for me because It is easier when you do a list and you have named things; in this case, I had to describe with nouns and adjectives so commas are neccesary when you need to organize a paragraph.

Essay and reflection

Oktapodi

A couple of octopuses, a pink one called Pinky and a orange called Orangy, were living in a fish tank. They were in love and they were cuddling when suddenly a big hand dived and took Pinky away. So Orangy was scared and imagined that she would be cooked in a restaurant. So Orangy escaped from the tank to go rescue Pinky and he started to walk quickly climbing up the truck that was carrying, meanwhile, the man put Pinky into the cooler and he walked to his truck. Then, the Orangy was climbing up to truck and he hold on to it with his tentacles not to fall; he started to move carefully through the window because Pinky was there, near the driver. Suddenly, the man looked towards the window and he saw Orangy and he started to hit him many times to make him fall out the truck, could not throw him out and lost control of the truck and crushed with some chairs that were in the sidewalk. Orangy fell on the windscreem, so Pinky could escape from the cooler and she used the emergency brake for the truck to stop; the two octopuses were thrown into the street, the man was dazed and very angry because the octopuses escaped ; then the driver got into the truck, he acelerated and he started to persecute the octopuses but they fell into the swimming pool and they started to jump from one pool to another, but unfortunately the driver was able to catch them; however, the driver could not stop and fell down the stairs, so the octopuses tried to defend themselves and they threw ink on the face of the driver. At that moment, octopuses were hunging on a clothe line, meanwhile, the driver cpould not stop the truck and fell down to the sea; octopuses were able to escape but unexpectedly, a seagull catched Orangy with his claws; so Pinky, for a moment, was disconcerted but she decided to rescue to beloved octopus and she grabbed the clothe line with her tentacles and ejected herself to save her partner.

Reflection

In this case, I think I had not too much problem because I did the story line before that helped me to organize and to built the text; and also I only had to correct some mistakes about tense because When you write a story you need to write in past tense, It is something that I had to learn and I tried to use all rules about punctuation too.

Conclusions

Finally, I can say that I have learned many things; for example I learned that paragraph is compound for three parts: topic sentence, body and concluding sentence. I learned that it is very important to follow some steps to built a good paragraph; for example first you need to do prewriting for organizing your ideas and after you can do your first draft. I learned to use new vocabulary that I did not know. I think, it was a little easier for me to built the sentences. Also, One important thing is the punctuation because these give sense to the text. In my opinion, my weak area is the punctuation because I think I need to improve that, I realized it resulted more difficult for me when I had to do the assignments. However, I think to know the rules and use them will help me in the future.

Second exam

First text

A few corrections to the text and underline the topic and concluding sentences

"My first day of class as a university student"

I can remember about that day, I felt very nervous because I did not know anything about my classmates and the teachers. At first was strange and confusing. After, in a break, I started to speak with some classmates and we started to talk around the campus and to know the areas. As I have never been in the University before, everything was new for me. I always wanted to be here and despite of my nervous I felt very happy. Now, I can remember for example, the first time I went to the Choza, there were some classmates were buying and we started to speak about Fresher's week; we wanted to know what will happen that day, when and where could be because we wanted to be prepare for the "event" we felt afraid of, and at the same time we were very enthusiastic. I think I will never forget that day, "my first day of class as a university student", because It was the best experience that I have had for a long time.
