Hi!  My name is Rita Corte-Real and I am fifteen years old. I'm Portuguese and I live with my parents and with my younger brothers.
At the moment, I'm a student at two different schools: in Valadares High School I attend Science and Technologies course and in AMVP I attend a  music course. Yap, that's right! Here I learn how to compose, how to sing,  how to play the piano, how to perform in a show, how does the sound spreads through the air, etc.
I am also a travel lover! I love to explore and discover the whole world!
I am definitely a better person during summer! It is my favourite time of the year, due to the warm and sunny weather, the beaches, the music festivals... And I love the incredible and colourful sunsets!

On Wednesday:
I learned about Media manipulation: The impact of social media on our daily life, on our family and work. I also learned that I have to be more careful on using the internet, because my privacy is not safe.
On Friday:
We had the visit of Ane Alonso that talked about the differences between , "English as a Second Language", "English as a Native Language" and "English as a Lingua Franca". It was interesting to discuss about how the english language spread all over the world and how it contributed to the globalization.

I think that both of the classes were very interesting, but I will choose Ane Alonso session for the most interesting one. I learned things that I had never heard about and that I think are gonna be very useful for my future as a traveller or even as an english speaker.
For me, it was easy to understand these type of contents, because I've already thought about these subjects.

In the next week I will try to participate more in the classes.

On Wednesday:
Speaking Assessments had started! This is a moment when each student presents a chosen subject about a theme (about social media in this case). This is a very stressful, but also good moment. In this presentations, I learn several interesting things.
On Friday:
"A Technological World"- the new unit. Henceforth we are gonna talk and discuss this theme. On this day we discussed and did some exercises about it.

I reinforced my knowledge of the dangers behind social media and also about the English language at a global level.
On Friday, I didn't have difficulties with the reading comprehension exercises. I think they were easy and accessible.

From the presentations of this week I learned a lot of new things, that made me develop my knowledge and culture.
I enjoyed the new unit. I didn't have doubts or difficulties about it.

I think that I should be more participative in this kind of sessions, leaving shyness and fears behind. This week I almost didn't say a word and I am really sorry for that. This is a thing that I've had difficulties with. I am going to try to talk more.

In this weekend I rode a bike with my family. It was a great time! Here's a picture of the sunset in this evening:

In the first part of the lesson, we continued with speaking assessments. In the second part, we started a group project, where we wrote a page of a diary 70 years from now.

Upon this week I learned a lot about Social Media and Technology. I found some of the presentations  very interesting, mainly Media Manipulation, that made me reflect upon the dangers of social networking and Telemedicine, that I found very useful for this pandemic time. For me, the presentations of this week were better structured and prepared, maybe because students had more time to conclude them.
Besides I was expecting to present my work on Friday of this week, it was postponed to next Wednesday. My work is about Ethics in the Media, a topic that in the beginning I though it was "boring", but after studying it, I found it very important and necessary for today's social media communication.

Since my presentation was postponed, I will have the opportunity to review my work. I will do my best to transmit the main message behind Media Ethics.

# data[].attributes.body
In the next week, I will look forward with expectative for the next presentations.

I really liked to write the diary's page. I think that was a great idea, that made me reflect upon the future and how the technology is going to evolve.

Next week it's my turn to introduce my topic to the class. I just need to make a last review of the work. I hope it goes well.
