Future predictions

Making future predictions are common when you are talking about situations. Also, it is frequent that some of them are not sure. In the course, I learned to use some phrases that helping to do predictions.

       We can use modal verbs: will, could, ma and might. Furthermore, we can also use phrases that I divided in four categories: Will almost definitely happen, likely to happen, unlikely to happen and Impossible. I think it is better if I show a chart that I made:

 

Many examples are:

Will almost definitely happen:
         -  I will presumably I am going to pass the course.

Likely to happen

     - There is a strong possibility that I get a good grade.

Unlikely to happen

     - Some classmates probably won’t the course.

Impossible

     - It is inconceivable that we’ll be able to travel next month.

Practicing makes you a master. I did some exercises. In this link you will be able to practice:  http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/410/grammar/410-future-possibility-and-probability-modals1.htm

A new club at ULACIT (SOCIAL CLUB)

I am going to talk about a new club in the university. The club will be composed by ULACIT students who have creative ideas.  This club will have 30 member maximum. The name of it will be “the social club”. I am sure people will like it.

The club will be organizing many activities for the university’s students. The idea is that everybody can socialize in a better way.  The club will be doing activities to raise money for homeless people and social work. So, what activities is the club going to do in order to achieve with these objectives? The answer is: Parties, bingos, dances, karaoke and many other activities that the university doesn’t offer yet. On the other hand, the activities could be inside the university’s campus or outside, for example, in a bar.

Furthermore, we hope that when a person comes to school for the first time, he or she will feel included in the university’s environment because most of the time they feel excluded. Within the goals of the club, we have:

·         Integrating the whole school

·         People looking forward to coming to the university

·         Doing activities so that people reduce their stress and feel relaxed

·         Making ULACIT standout from other universities due to its different social environment

·         Including the artistic clubs as part of the activities of the social club.

The social club requires time and disposition. That is why there will be meetings. These meetings will be held on Tuesday at 3:00 o’clock. In this space, the members will plan what to do. The club needs extra time to look for contacts, sponsors, places and to think of amazing ideas. The place where the meetings will be held at is still undefined. It might be in a restaurant, coffee shops, and parks or even in a mate’s house. The place is not so important; the important thing is to work hard. We could go to a park or to eat at a restaurant while we are planning. Nevertheless, the rules must be fulfilled. Some of them are:

·         Be polite

·         Accomplish the goals

·         Be punctual

·         Work hard

Finally, people who become part of the social club will be benefited by it a lot, especially people who study public relations or international relations. In the club, they will learn to organize, to contact and feel as a worker. So, the club is open to accepting every kind of people that want to work. 

Laughing means health:

Lizzie Velásqez

I am going to talk about Lizzie Velásquez. She is called: “The ugliest women in the world”. She is called like this, because she has an illness that makes her looks super slim and defaced face. Part of her problem is that she has never been over twenty nine kilos, also the lost of her sight. This nickname was given by her mates thanks to a video where she was and they uploaded on the web. She had gotten a lot of negative comments by the people who had watched it. Since she was a child. She has had to deal, endured and learn to live with this.

On the other hand, She doesn’t lose the desire to live even though all the problems. On the contrary, it helped her to become in a successful motivator. Many talks have been given by her. She has been able to leave everything in the past, and up her head. Finally, the message that is being shared by her, it is: “never give up”.

(Cultural awareness-Gerunds and Infinitives)

Experience with a Chinese friend.

1) Where were you?

I was in a park with an Asian friend in Costa Rica.

2) Did you (or the other person) realize at that time that a mistake had been made?

Yeah! She felt nervous while I was talking.

3) What did you do to resolve this issue?

I apologized by this, and I explained her that in our country we don’t have the technology that China has.

Write a short story about your cultural awareness experience

In our country is very common that while you are talking with a person, you say her/his name many times. I did it many times a little loud and she said: Don't say my name to loud it is very dangerous. I felt really surprised, and she explained me that in China, only with your name people can kidnap you, and find out many things about you.

(Achievements-Perfect forms)

My achievement

My greatest achievement was winning the bachillerato. I remember I had studied so much. When I won it, I had another objective in my mind: go to the university. I’ve always wanted to be in a private university so; I didn't do the test for the public university. So, I decided to apply for a scholarship in Ulacit. It’s my other big achievement; I applied for the 100% scholarship and then, I got it. Finally, I will have finished my bachelor in business administration next year.

(Tell a story - past tense review)

A story…

When I was in vacation during second grade, my family and I used to go to my grandfather’s house. I was seven years old. I went to my cousin’s house with my other cousin to play soccer. I decided to be the referee. During the soccer game, the ball went to the other side of the house.

In that place, there were many trees and plants, basically pretty much a lot of grass. I got angry when they started fighting because they didn't want going to pick up the ball. So, I decided to go for the ball and crossed through the shrubs.

Here is the part where the incident occurred. I walked up to a piece of wood to get a better view.

 Unfortunately, the wood was rotten and I fell down on a waterhole. I didn’t know I was walking over a waterhole. So, after spending a several hours into the waterhole, my cousin’s uncle helped me get out of there. Then, I took a hot shower and I gave many hugs to my whole family.

(Future plans)

Plans for the future

I hope that the next year in this time. I'll have definitely finished my career. I keep taking my career, but if I take more effort, I'll have probably learned English. Nevertheless, I won't have left the university. For the next six months. I'll still be looking for a job and studying. And, I won’t be doing volunteer job. But, I’ll hope be working in a good company.

I can honestly say that one day; I’m going to travel around the world. Also, I’m going to be the best in my field. I know it’s easy to say, but not to do. I am never going to leave of trust God. However this weekend, I’m going to do all homework’s and study for a test. And, I am going to go to the church. The life is going to end in a determinate moment. So, I also predict that when I retire, I’ll have my own company and I’ll have started my family.

(Architecture for power – Articles)

The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel tower is arguably the most amazing structure; at least it is for me. It is localized, in the fondly country known as the” love country”. The tower is standing 324 meters above the floor. Built to be exposed on an universal exposition in 1989. It used to be for army purposes, but now it is a tourist attraction. It is built from iron, so it makes interesting for me. It was built to commemorate the art. I like the art that is why I would like to meet this architecture.
