English Language Challenges

Hello, today I will write about my experience with the Subject English Language in the university and his influence en my life.

In the school the subject English Language were low therefore where I had the subject in the university for first time I was very nervous, well still is a challenges, but I think that now I am more qualified, I know that I don’t speak as an expert and that my pronunciation is horrible, but in comparison to pass I can to write an to read more. In this the blog has been a great support because the blog has allowed practice every week.

In general the aspect that more need improved is to understand as a person speaks. I plan watch American series as Glee! for improve this. Other aspect to progress is my vocabulary. Too I like play game in the computer or cellular phone, for example the otome game, than in his majority are in English, motive for the I not played it, but now I think that it will be useful for increase my vocabulary.

Too there are many books, mangas or investigations in English that I can to read if I know English. In my life I using English a little, only for to speak/write with persons of other country. Though this happen once in a while.

In the pass I believed that I not need the English in my live but now I has taken awareness of his importance. To speak English is as a key that open many doors in the world.

Bye 2013!!!

The years is finishing, therefore it is time of star the balance of the years 2013. In general has been a good year, with thing good and bad, but always it is best remember the positive. I bought a carnivorous plant, that have more of two month with me and the plant has surviving (I am bad for to look after living being, I have had fish and other plant that in one month die). I spoke with people that I not see in much time, it was nice and I met new peoples and I participate of various Seminar of Literature.  For other side I finished friendship that I think was forever and I suffered theft of my cellular phone of my handbag.

This year I archived win my fears and I can the semester past to make a presentation in English with person that I not met.

Yet there are many things for to make, for example a presentation in Kamishibai, a difficult challenge for me, because I have that create a story, illustrate it and present it in public.

This year has been interesting, I has learning new thing and I has discovered that I to know more of the that I think. I enjoy my practices with child little (2-3 years old) and I wish that the next years, my practice professional in the Ludoteca it has well so the previous.

In the vacation I would like to visit Tomé, a place where lived when I was a child.

Censured in the books

When speaking about book that reveals secrets, the first that coming to my minds is “The Da Vinci code”

The Da Vinci code is a novel written by Dan Brown. This book were published in 2003. The book has been translated into 44 languages, transforming in a bestsellers.

The story tell the adventure of the expert in symbol Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu for solve various mystery that them will take to discover the Holy Grail´s secrets. Secrets that have been hide for the Catholic Church.

Although the author has not been censored, the book has been extensively denounced by many Christian denominations as an attack on the Roman Catholic Church. It has also been consistently criticized for its historical and scientific inaccuracies. Also in Lebanon is prohibited.

Personally I don´t know any author or book censored for reveal secrets about history, but is very known the censure that made the Catholic Church a many authors and books in the “Index of prohibited books”.

Too many books have been censured in different country, for example:

“Origen of species” of Darwin, censured in UK, Greece, and Yugoslavia for motive religious.

“Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland” of Carroll, censured in China for to award characteristic human to the animals.

“The Adventure of Sherlock Homes” of Doyle, prohibited in UK for esoteric beliefs of his authors.

Today the censorship is difficult because to existence of different mass media who allow publish without restrictions. In my opinion the censure only make that the people want read them
