My favorite movie or tv show
To be honest I do not have a favorite movie since I like so many!
But since I have to choose one I would go with Big Hero 6.
This movie was released in 2014 and it is an animated kind of movie.
What I really like about this movie is that even though it is an animated one, the movie is more for adults I would say.
It is about a teenager who really enjoys betting using a robot that he created. His older brother does not like this and encourage him to be part of a really nice university.
So he decides to apply and he creates what are called microchips which are a group of small chips that gather together and create different forms. The person who wears a special kind of helmet has to think about it and then the microchips get together and create this form.
I cannot say anything else about this movie because I think that you should watch it!
Ah! I almost forgot, I went to the cinema two years ago with my niece who is also my goddaughter, she is 8 years old. We had a really good time together.

My favorite picture
Well this picture was taken in 2009. At that time I was working at Starbucks.
I was part of the company for a little bit more than a year. Well this picture I know it is not like a “real one” since it is a cartoon, but if you pay a closer look you will find my name on it.
Yes, I am the one who has a broom. All the people that work at Starbucks are called Baristas and between as we call partner. Since I used to be really worried about cleaning and organizing the store all the time. So that is why my friends got me a nickname, Maca aseo y hornato.
This picture in a way represents the way each of us used to be in the store. I really like it because I have so many nice memories about that time of my life. I met amazing people and the customers were so good with us. When I was working there, I used to party a lot with the baristas, every weekend. And sometimes even during the week. It is a bit sad that I only got them on facebook now, I have not seen them since 2011. Now we are all working in other places so we just keep in touch once in a while. I guess that happens all the time. For example when you are at school, you have really good friends. Then you start studying at university and you do not see those friends that much as you used to. When you finish university, it is the same. The friends that you had, when you start working you just talk to them sometimes. It is kind of sad, but it is the way things go. Hope this does not happen to you!

My favorite songs
I have a lot of favorite songs.
It depends on what I am doing and how I feel the music that I listen to.
For example when I am working checking tests, preparing materials for my classes or writing my thesis I need to listen to electro swing.
It gives me a lot of energy, I feel as if I had drunk a thousand rebulls.
When I am riding my bike a listen to pop music, such as when the lights go out (five), I remember (deadmau5), In another life (blast flava) and others.
A couple of years ago I was working on a presentation with a friend, he is an English teacher too. We had to do this for a job interview at Manpower.
We were called on a Thursday afternoon and the interview was the following day at 8:30. So as you can see we did not have that much time, we were preparing the presentation and it was about 1:00 am, my friend was really sleepy and he just wanted to go to bed. I told him that we couldn't until we finish with the ppt.
So I said, don't worry, let's do the following. Let`s listen to this song 3 times and then we go to bed. The thing is that he didn't know that the song's length was amost 10 minutes! :D Thanks to that, we were able to finish with the ppt.
That song was I remember (Deadmau5) it is a really nice song though.
In another life (Blast Flava) is a song well a remix of a song that a friend did, to be honest I have heard the other songs that he created a remix but I don't like them, I just like this one.
Now I will describe one of the songs that I listen a lot, that song is Barbra Streisand (Duck Sauce)
This song uses a sample from the single “Gotta go Home” (Boney M’s), which also uses a sample of another song “hallo bimmelbahn” (nightrain).
I remember the first time I listened to it. It was when I was in New Zealand. I thought who would ever like this song! It is so repetitive. I used to go clubbing a lot when I was there, and this song was played everywhere! So of course it was impossible not to like it at the end.
When I was there every time that I listened to it I felt happy and energetic but when I listen to it here, sometimes I feel a bit nostalgic. I see how much I have changed. When I was in Auckland I used to work and party 24/7. Here I work, study and party only like once a month because I do not feel like doing that anymore. Maybe there is a time for everything. Don’t get me wrong, I really like my life now but I miss that part of me. The crazy Maca hahaha.
So that’s it my dear students. Those are my favorite songs.
Today we are going to write about your favourite piece of technology. A piece of technology could be anything! From your mobile phone to a website or a domestic device at home (a TV, console, fan, etc)
Here is a list of ideas for you to follow. You can use these ideas or your own. Your text should be minimum 140 words long.
- What your favourite device is
- What brand it is
- How you got it
- Why you like it
- Things you can do with it
- Things you can't do with it
- Have you ever lost it? How did you recover it?
- Would you like a new version of it?
Well I think this is the easiest question I have ever had to answer!!!
My favourite piece of technology is my phone.
I am pretty sure that most of you will say the same hahahaha.
So please do not copy my arguments :O
SInce I am a 90's teenager I have had many devices. walkman, CD player, camara, phone etc.
But it is sooo nice now a days to have all those things in one! I just love it!
The one that I have now it is a ZTE Blade a511. I got this phone 14 months ago, I am counting the days to get a new one. To be honest I do not like it that much. I have had many problems whith this phone but I have to wait for 4 more months in order to get a new one. The thing is that I have a contract with Entel so I just have to wait until it ends and get a new one. I got this one because I did not have to pay for it.
Before if I wanted to listen to music I had to have an mp3 player, if I wanted to take a picture I needed a camera but now it is soooo easy. The only bad thing is that the battery does not last as much as it used to. But that would be the only bad thing, it is so good to be able to even send
e-mails! Now that I work and study it is so useful to be connected all the time.
So these are the reasons why I choose this device as my favourite piece of technology.
