Today, I was looking for a new series for what I've found "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" from which I saw the first season years ago. It is hilarious. I like very much. It's similar to "Bridget Jones", but it's still more fun. This television series is about a successful woman who works as a lawyer in Manhattan and is desperately looking for love. After an unexpected encounter with her ex-boyfriend. He decides to move to Covina, in California. To try to come back with him.

Today we talk about the environment which is a very boring topic for me. On the contrary, it is a common topic of conversation. It means that everyone can talk about environment. But for me it is a controversial issue because, on the one hand, everyone knows how they have to do, but on the other hand people prefer to be practical, do things quickly using things that are bad for the environment. And many of them know the importance of recycling but do not recycle.
It is possible that it is easy to talk about this but on the contrary it seems that it is very difficult to do. I believe that it just a question of getting used to recicle and being conscious about current necessities.

Listening is the most difficult part of English for me. That is why today I have chosen 3 short and B1 level audios to practice but not disappoint myself with something that I will not be able to understand.

-Flag Football.
One of them seemed to me very easy.

The teacher who is usually in this class was sick and in his place was Emmer.
The issue was sexual harassment in Hollywood. I do not like this topic for this reason, I did not talk much. There was also a woman who did not stop talking, there were ten people in class, but I think she only spoke. For that reason I also spoke little, I worked "listening" but as "speaking" it was a waste of time.

I have prepared some games about Pirates, they love the bad one and it is easier to thing games if the main character is a bad person. In some of this games they have to run because these games are tag games. Also they will play to pretend to be sailors, or pirates using clothes or different materials to make for example boats.

The reading for this week is about the end of cash. The article speaks about people rarely handle cash anymore.
I think that the end of cash is nearer than we think. In the future everybody will use social media and apps to pay the bills or, for example, to transfer money to somebody with just a click. Imagine that you go with a friend to dinner and he  forget his wallet, with this he could pay you back at the moment. I think than it is really usefull.

This week the text is about shocking statistics which can surprise us and embarrass.
These statistics are about our habits, for instance how many time people spend deciding what to wear. Or the average that people spend one year of their life writing or reading messages on their phones. It makes me wonder how many time waste in no important things.
Apart from this I have learnt:
• Spend ON
• Average

This rainy Sunday afternoon, I saw "The Jungle Book". It's really simple to understand, basically because the characters are animals and in the movie, they do not have a very long or complicated conversation.
It is an unreal movie, but it does not have very good special effects. It is not a remarkable film, but on the other hand I had a good time and I remembered the story of Mowgli that I had forgotten.

I tried to see "Narcos", because I wanted to see a series more appropriate to my age and my likes, but it has been complicated for me. I do not know if it's just because of the language, or because I do not like the series. Although it is not difficult to understand, since half is in Spanish, and even then, I do not follow the argument well. For now I will stop seeing, I'll postpone for a few months.

Today I saw the typical Christmas movie, without a big argument, or a great deal. Just to have a good time. The movie is about Ellen, the main character, who is quite ambitious, that to inherit the family business, she must visit her father's small hometown, Snow Falls, where she has to stay longer due to a snowstorm, and she will learn the value of effort and solidarity. And also she will fall in love.

I have chosen this series because in class we are learning how write a story. So I have thought that I can listen and learn vocabulary about fairy tails. It is a unrealistic series. It is set in Storybroke, a city created under a spell, where the characters of several fairy tails have been trapped. This spell can only be broken by "the savior".

And each season they are incorporating more characters like snow white, captain hook, Pinocchio, maleficent…

It is an entertaining series, and easy to understand but too fanciful and oriented to very young people. I keep seeing it because they tend to repeat the same expressions a lot and I memorize some new vocabulary.

20/11/2017Fuller House is a spin-off series based on the hit "Full House", which is a old series (1987-95)  The new one is about  a recently widowed mom to a three children one is 13 year old, another is 7 year old and a baby. After realizing she is unable to cope with the demands of holding a full time job as a veterinarian in addition to raising three kids, her sister and her childhood best friend who is also the mother of a 13-year-old daughter, offer to move in to bring up her children.

It is a fun series which has simple dialogues, since it is about the daily problems of this peculiar family.

Probably I would not choose it to see it is Spanish, but in English I like it, because I can understand a large part of the dialogues.

This year, for my birthday my sister has given me Netflix for a year. I believe that I will use this gift very much, since this year I am in the fourth year of the official language school and I will need to work harder. It's perfect because it's an easy, entertaining and fun way to improve my English. Now I think that the most difficult thing will be to choose which series to watch, which I can understand, and which does not have a very complicated language.

I usually receive a semanal mail with english exercises because Years ago I did a course in my school and they send me the homeworks by mail. Although I do not do anymore, they keep sending it to me .  It is usually a short text of reading comprehension with a vocabulary activity and a grammar activity. Therefore I have decided that I will do it. I do not take long and I'm sure I learn something. Today is about New Year's resolutions.
